Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising green energy systems, finding optimal operation solutions, improved material and component performance, energy efficiency, and enabling smarter decision-making for the progression of different stages of research-based development. In the realm of sustainable energy solutions, AI algorithms process a vast amount of data based on both experimental and numerical methods  to predict patterns and parametric relationships, optimise multiphysics efficiency, and manage resources effectively. Physics-based machine learning techniques enable the predictive optimization of processes, reducing downtime and costs. AI-assisted innovative concepts and systems also facilitate the coupling and effective assessment of integrated clean energy technologies. Additionally, human–machine interactions have the potential to develop and evaluate high-performance materials. These advancements not only safely increase reliability and resilience, but they also pave the way for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy future, with smaller carbon footprints and fewer wasted resources. AI’s transformative capabilities are promising for addressing complex challenges and driving innovation across transdisciplinary sectors.

The increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) requires accurate forecasting to support strategic decisions by manufacturers, policymakers, investors, and infrastructure developers. As EV adoption accelerates due to environmental concerns and technological advances, understanding and predicting this demand becomes critical. In light of these considerations, this study presents an innovative methodology for forecasting EV demand. This model, called EVs-PredNet, is developed using deep learning methods such as LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) and CNNs (Convolutional Neural Networks). The model comprises convolutional, activation function, max pooling, LSTM, and dense layers. Experimental research has investigated four different categories of electric vehicles: battery electric vehicles (BEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), and all electric vehicles (ALL). Performance measures were calculated after conducting experimental studies to assess the model’s ability to predict electric vehicle demand. When the performance measures (mean absolute error, root mean square error, mean squared error, R-Squared) of EVs-PredNet and machine learning regression methods are compared, the proposed model is more effective than the other forecasting methods. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in forecasting the electric vehicle demand. This model is considered to have significant application potential in assessing the adoption and demand of electric vehicles. This study aims to improve the reliability of forecasting future demand in the electric vehicle market and to develop relevant approaches. Full article

This study demonstrates the significant advantages of integrating computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with artificial intelligence (AI)-based machine learning (ML) to optimize the pre-reforming process for reversible solid oxide cell (r-SOC) technologies. It places a distinct focus on the relationship between process variables, aiming to enhance the preparation of quality r-SOC-ready fuel, which is an indispensable element for successful operation. Evaluating the intricate thermochemistry of syngas-containing reforming processes involves employing an experimentally validated CFD model. The model serves as the foundation for gathering essential data, crucial for the development and training of AI-based machine learning models. The developed model forecasts and optimizes reforming processes across diverse fuel compositions, encompassing oxygen-containing syngas blends and controlled feedstock outlet process conditions. Impressively, the model’s predictions align closely with CFD outcomes with an error margin as low as 0.34%, underscoring its accuracy and reliability. This research significantly contributes to a deeper understanding and the qualitative enhancement of preparing high-quality syngas for SOC under improved process conditions. Enabling the early availability of valuable information drives forward sustainable research and ensures the safe, consistent operation assessment of r-SOC. Additionally, this strategic approach substantially reduces the need for resource-intensive experiments. Full article
