Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the proliferation of smart devices, sensors, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, electrical systems generate vast amounts of data that can be applied to optimize system performance, predict failures, and improve decision-making processes. With the employment of statistical analysis, artificial intelligence (AI), data visualization techniques, and machine learning algorithms, it is possible to discover patterns, correlations, and anomalies in the data, enabling the design of more efficient and reliable electrical systems. In this sense, artificial intelligence and deep learning become essential tools in modern electrical engineering applications.

Based on your reputation and expertise in the field, we invite you to publish one of your innovative works in our Special Issue entitled “Neural Networks and Deep Learning and Their Applications in Electrical Engineering” in Energies. We expect all the published papers to be widely read and highly influential within the field.

This Special Issue aims to present and discuss innovative works and review papers on the use of artificial neural networks and deep learning in the area of electrical engineering.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics: power grid optimization, demand forecasting, equipment fault diagnosis, energy quality control in manufacturing lines, automation and robotics systems, energy efficiency improvement, process optimization, more precise decision making, fault identification and predictive maintenance, and the development of autonomous systems.

This paper presents an energy optimization approach to applying electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for medical diagnostics, particularly in detecting lung diseases. The designed Lung Electrical Tomography System (LETS) incorporates 102 electrodes and advanced image reconstruction algorithms. Energy efficiency is achieved through the use of modern electronic components and high-efficiency DC/DC converters that reduce the size and weight of the device without the need for additional cooling. Special attention is given to minimizing energy consumption during electromagnetic measurements and data processing, significantly improving the system’s overall performance. Research studies confirm the device’s high energy efficiency while maintaining the accuracy of the classification of lung disease using the LightGBM algorithm. This solution enables long-term patient monitoring and precise diagnosis with reduced energy consumption, marking a key step towards sustainable medical diagnostics based on EIT technology.
