1. An artificial-intelligence-based (AI-based) platform for enabling intelligent orchestration and management of power and energy, comprising:
a policy and governance engine including computer-executable instructions that, upon execution by processing hardware, deploy at least one of a set of rules or a set of policies that govern at least one of energy generation, energy storage, or energy consumption workloads, wherein:
the policy and governance engine includes an AI-based intelligent agent that generates the at least one of the set of rules or the set of policies;
the AI-based intelligent agent is trained on at least one of a training data set of historical data, feedback from outcomes, or a training data set of policy-setting interactions;
the at least one of the set of rules or the set of policies is associated with a configuration of a set of edge devices operating in local data communication with a set of energy facilities;
the set of energy facilities includes at least one of an energy generation facility, an energy storage facility, an energy delivery facility, or an energy consumption facility;
the at least one of the set of rules or the set of policies is embedded in at least one of the set of edge devices or a set of control systems of the set of energy facilities to control the set of energy facilities in a manner that is compliant with the at least one of the set of rules or the set of policies;
upon configuration in the policy and governance engine, a policy associated with an energy instruction is automatically applied by at least one of the edge devices to control at least one energy system that is controlled via the edge device; and
the energy instruction instructs control of the at least one energy system with respect to at least one of energy generation, energy consumption, energy delivery, or energy storage.
