Innovative Technologies in Low-Carbon Energy and Intelligent Systems
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topic focuses on recent advances and interdisciplinary innovations in sustainable development via low-carbon energy technologies and intelligent systems. It brings together cutting-edge research on clean combustion—including fuel modification, flexible peak shaving, and near-zero emission technologies—circulating fluidized bed combustion, ammonia–coal co-firing, and sCO2-based coal-fired power generation, aiming to promote energy systems that are more flexible, efficient, and clean. It also covers coal resource utilization techniques such as maceral separation, catalytic depolymerization, gasification, and ash recycling, as well as energy system optimization through big data analytics, fault diagnosis, and integrated district energy planning. In parallel, it highlights breakthroughs in intelligent robotic systems which are essential for the automation and intelligent transformation of the energy and industrial sectors, including compliant control, autonomous navigation, human–robot interaction, motion control, and machine learning. By integrating innovations across these domains, the Topic fosters crossdisciplinary collaboration to address global challenges such as carbon neutrality, system resilience, and smart manufacturing, welcoming original research, reviews, and applied studies that contribute to shaping sustainable and intelligent energy ecosystems.
