Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid digitalization and decarbonization of energy infrastructure have created strong demand for intelligent, data-driven methods to improve the planning, operation, control, and market performance of modern energy and power systems. This Topic aims to collect high-quality studies on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning techniques to power system analysis, renewable energy integration, energy management, electricity markets, and grid resilience. We welcome original research and review articles covering, but not limited to, load and price forecasting, renewable generation prediction, fault diagnosis, condition monitoring, demand response, optimization-assisted AI, reinforcement learning for control, multi-agent coordination, and AI-enabled decision support for low-carbon energy systems. Contributions that combine physics-based models and data-driven methods, or address practical deployment issues such as uncertainty, interpretability, robustness, and scalability, are especially encouraged. This Topic seeks to provide a timely platform for researchers and practitioners to share advances that support reliable, economical, and sustainable energy and power systems.

This study evaluates the performance of a commercial silicon-based photovoltaic (PV) module under varying environmental conditions, including solar irradiance, module and ambient temperatures, humidity, and wind speed. Key performance indicators such as daily and lifetime energy output, CO2 reduction, and potential income were analyzed. Machine learning techniques, including Linear Regression (LR), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Random Forest (RF), and XGBoost, were employed to predict photovoltaic (PV) efficiency under varying environmental conditions. The results indicate that solar irradiance is the primary driver of energy production, while elevated temperatures and high humidity reduce efficiency, and wind speed provides minor cooling benefits. Among the models, XGBoost achieved the highest predictive accuracy (Test R2 = 0.9967), followed by RF and ANN, whereas LR underperformed due to a limited ability to capture nonlinear interactions. These findings highlight the critical influence of environmental and electrical factors on PV performance and demonstrate the effectiveness of advanced machine learning techniques, particularly XGBoost, in optimizing energy output and supporting sustainable energy planning.
