Intelligent Learning Approaches for Renewable and Sustainable Energy

Intelligent Learning Approaches for Renewable and Sustainable Energy provides a practical, systematic overview of the application of advanced intelligent control techniques, adaptive techniques, machine learning algorithms, and predictive control in renewable and sustainable energy. Sections introduce intelligent learning approaches and the roles of artificial intelligence and machine learning in terms of energy and sustainability, grid transformation, large-scale integration of renewable energy, and variability and flexibility of renewable sources. Other sections provide detailed coverage of intelligent learning techniques as applied to key areas of renewable and sustainable energy, including forecasting, supply and demand, integration, energy management, optimization, and more.

This is a useful resource for researchers, scientists, advanced students, energy engineers, R&D professionals, and other industrial personnel with an interest in sustainable energy and integration of renewable energy sources, energy systems, energy engineering, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

• Explores cutting-edge intelligent techniques and their implications for future energy systems development
• Opens the door to a range of applications across forecasting, supply and demand, energy management, optimization, and more
• Includes a range of case studies that provide insights into the challenges and solutions in real-world applications
