Next-Generation Artificial Intelligence Driven Smart and Renewable Energy

To provide for a sustainable future, the potential synergies at the dynamic intersection of renewable energy (RE) incorporated with smart energy and artificial intelligence (AI) must be exploited. RE is crucial to preserve the environment. Energy involving various systems must be optimized and assessed to provide better performance. However, the design and development of RE systems remains a challenge. Advanced optimization techniques, AI, and machine learning (ML) plays a crucial role in implementing the latest innovative research in the field of renewable energy-integrated electrical systems. This book also describes the practical challenges encountered, and the solutions and future scope to be adopted. Applications of a variety of advanced optimization and AI techniques in the design and development of RE-integrated systems are discussed to provide new solutions in the RE domain.
