Artificial Intelligence in Energy Management II

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI) has dramatically changed the landscape of science, industry, defense, and medicine in the last several years. Supported by considerably enhanced computational power and cloud storage, the field of AI has shifted from mostly theoretical studies in the discipline of computer science to diverse real-life applications such as energies. This Special Issue will provide information on innovation, research, development, and demonstration related to “Artificial Intelligence in Energy Management Systems”. The main focus of this Special Issue is artificial intelligence in conventional and non-conventional thermal energy management systems. Papers are solicited in areas including, but not limited to the following:

• AI in energy management systems;
• AI in distributed energy systems;
• AI in renewable energy systems;
• AI in energy storage;
• Demand-side management (DSM) or demand-side response (DSR) by AI;
• Home energy management system (HEMS) by AI;
• Building and energy management system (BEMS) by AI;
• Smart energy management system by AI;
• Smart building by AI;
• Smart city by AI;
• Energy efficiency enhancement by AI;
• System performance improvement by AI;
• Energy modeling and simulation;
• Internet of Things (IoT);
• Information and communication technology (ICT);
• Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR);
• Big data;
• 5G;
• Smart grid;
• Intelligent control;
• Artificial intelligence (AI);
• Machine learning;
• Deep learning.

Authors are invited to contribute to increasing international cooperation, as well as the understanding and promotion of efforts and disciplines in the area of “Artificial Intelligence in Energy Management Systems”. The dissemination of knowledge by presenting research results, new developments, and novel concepts in “Artificial Intelligence in Energy Management Systems” will serve as the foundation from which this area will be developed.

A variety of topics are available for presentations, allowing authors flexibility.
