Special Issue Information

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;

Building energy planning is a challenging task in the current mounting climate change scenario because the sector accounts for a reasonable percentage of global end-use energy consumption, with a one-fifth share of global carbon emissions. Energy planners rely on physical model-based prediction tools to conserve energy and make decisions towards decreasing energy consumption. For precise forecasting, such a model requires the collection of an enormous number of input variables, which is time-consuming because not all the parameters are easily available. Utilities are reluctant to share retrievable consumer information because of growing concerns regarding data leakage and competitive energy markets. Federated learning (FL) provides an effective solution by providing privacy preserving distributed training to relieve the computational burden and security concerns associated with centralized vanilla learning. Therefore, we aimed to comparatively analyze the effectiveness of several data-driven prediction algorithms for learning patterns from data-efficient buildings to predict the hourly consumption of the building sector in centralized and FL setups. The results provided comparable insights for predicting building energy consumption in a distributed setup and for generalizing to diverse clients. Moreover, such research can benefit energy designers by allowing them to use appropriate algorithms via transfer learning on data of similar features and to learn personalized models in meta-learning approaches.

The present study investigates the use of machine learning algorithms to estimate the state of health (SOH) of high-voltage batteries in electric vehicles. The analysis is based on open-circuit voltage (OCV) measurements from 12 vehicles with different mileage conditions and focuses on establishing a correlation between the OCV values, the energy stored in the battery, and the battery SOH. The experimental campaign was conducted at the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center GmbH (Germany), and the data collection process took advantage of the ETAS Integrated Calibration and Application Tool (INCA) and the ETAS Measure Data Analyzer (MDA) software. Six machine learning algorithms are evaluated and compared, namely linear regression, k-nearest neighbors, support vector machine, random forest, classification and regression tree, and neural network. Among the evaluated algorithms, random forest (RF) exhibits the best performance in predicting the state of health of high-voltage batteries, both for the OCV and the capacity (C) estimation. Specifically, if compared to the worst algorithm (i.e., linear regression), RF achieves a remarkable improvement with a reduction of 96% and 97% in the mean absolute error for the OCV and the C estimation, respectively. Furthermore, the comparison highlighted the main differences in the performance, complexity, interpretability, and specific features of the six algorithms. The findings of the present study will contribute to the development of efficient maintenance strategies, thus reducing the risk of unexpected battery failures. Full article
