Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue on "Artificial Intelligence Application in Electrical and Energy Systems" aims to explore the transformative impact of AI technologies on the modern electrical and energy sectors. As these fields confront unprecedented challenges related to efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, AI offers innovative solutions for optimizing operations, predicting failures, and integrating renewable energy sources. This Issue will present cutting-edge research and case studies demonstrating how AI techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, and data analytics are being applied to enhance grid management, improve energy storage systems, and develop smart grid technologies. By bridging the gap between AI advancements and practical energy applications, this Special Issue seeks to highlight the potential for AI to drive significant improvements in energy system performance and resilience.

This collection of papers will cover a wide array of topics including, but not limited to, AI-driven predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, energy consumption optimization, and the role of AI in facilitating the transition to decentralized and renewable energy systems. Contributions from both academia and industry are welcomed, providing a comprehensive view of current trends, challenges, and future directions. The Special Issue aims to serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, fostering a deeper understanding of how AI can be harnessed to address some of the most pressing issues in the electrical and energy sectors. Through this collaborative effort, we hope to inspire the further innovation and adoption of AI technologies to create more efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy systems for the future.

Suggested themes include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Forecasting applications in power systems;
  • AI-driven predictive maintenance;
  • Demand side flexibility;
  • Energy management;

Underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) systems are significantly challenged by turbulence-induced signal degradation in dynamic channel conditions. This paper presents a novel framework that integrates Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) to enable real-time turbulence prediction and multi-objective adaptive optimization of transmission parameters, including power, modulation scheme, and beam divergence. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed LSTM–NSGA-II framework achieves a 45% reduction in bit error rate (BER) and a 36% improvement in energy efficiency compared to conventional static systems, while maintaining a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) prediction accuracy of 94.7% and an adaptive response latency of 28.6 ms. Validation using field data from the Marine Institute in the Baltic Sea confirms the framework’s practical applicability and robustness, highlighting its potential to enhance autonomous and military underwater operations in turbulent environments. This work represents a significant step toward more reliable and efficient UOWC systems. Full article

The variation in dissolved gas concentration in the transformer serves as a crucial indicator for assessing the health status and potential faults of the transformer. However, traditional models and existing machine learning and deep learning models exhibit limitations when applied to real-world scenarios in power systems, lacking adaptability and failing to meet the requirements for accuracy and efficiency of prediction in practical applications. This paper proposes a Dempster–Shafer evidence theory-optimized Bagging ensemble learning model, aiming to improve the accuracy and stability of dissolved gas concentration prediction in transformers. By incorporating Dempster–Shafer evidence theory for the fusion of base learners and optimizing the basic probability distribution parameters by using the sequential least squares programming algorithm, this model significantly improves the adaptability and robustness of prediction. The experimental results show that compared to the ordinary Bagging method and the SARIMA model, the overall mean squared error of the Bagging prediction results optimized by the Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is only 22% of the mean square error of the Bagging prediction results and 38% of the mean square error of the SARIMA prediction results.
