Dear Colleagues,

Over recent decades, renewable energy sources (RES) and energy production have increased. Consequently, renewable energy sources are seen to boost economic strength while also reducing fossil fuel consumption. However, it is evident to users that the ultimate decision-making system in selecting a REMS project facility is complex, encompassing a variety of factors at many levels such as commercial, technological, and environment. Various strategies aimed at increasing the usage of renewable energy management systems (REMS) to use all these RES effectively have received much attention. Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches are critical in today's energy systems. In specific energy systems, an intelligent method is a unique approach. Because of the development's multiple non-homogeneous forms of energy, it promotes the widespread usage of RES. Decision support systems (DSS) are now a well-established part of regular knowledge management. Computer system enhanced complexity and Intelligent ability creates many to an excellent platform for such complicated organizational necessities that appear to be suitable for tackling today's decision-making problem. The most common issues addressed by DSS in the REMS are energy transportation, power generation, energy consumption, energy demand, developing energy systems, the effect of pollution, and others. Researchers can see that more advanced DSS, particularly in the sector of REMS, use multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies to gather and evaluate input information and generate outcomes, so DSS involves extra intelligent techniques and methods that could include a group of decision-makers in arbitrary, active, and dispersed surroundings. The RES sector presents major new issues for data analysis in the intelligent decisions support system (IDSS). Researchers provide an intelligent RE-DSS structure within that research to assist DSS in developing intelligent REMS. Future progress in RE-DSS includes the participation of an entire RES Information System that must protect most RES field incidents such as Fuel Efficiency, Performance Improvement, and semantic and syntactic, an effort to help decision-makers conscious of parts of the DSS that they would not have used before, as well as operated reliability analysis. The domain of multiple REMS objectives and strategies to promote would be represented using ontologies, a method for semantics. When implementing new energy sources or scaling the energy system, AI provides the process with more dependability and versatility. Energy management can be regarded as a promise to use energy effectively and sustainably in an intelligent environment. From a range of disciplinary perspectives, we invite papers that rethinking renewable energy management using intelligent decision support systems overarching.

Increasing access to power, enhancing clean cooking fuels, decreasing wasteful energy subsidies, and limiting fatal air pollution are just a few of the sustainable development goals that all revolve around energy (E). Energy-specific sustainable development objectives were a turning point in the global shift towards a more sustainable and just system. By understanding energy resources, markets, regulations, and scientific studies, the country can progress more quickly towards a sustainable economy (SE). Investment in renewable energy industries is hampered by institutional obstacles such as market-controlled procedures and inconsistent supporting policies. Power plant building is currently incompatible with existing transmission and distribution networks, posing significant risks to investors. Deep neural networks (DNN) are specifically investigated in this article for energy demand forecasting at the individual building level. Other relevant information is supplied into fully connected layers along with the convolutional output. A single customer’s power usage data were used and analyzed for the final fuel and electricity consumption by various energy sources and consumer groups to test the DNN-SE technique. The energy intensity and labor productivity indexes for several economic sectors are displayed. A wide range of economic activities are examined to determine their impact on environmental pollution indicators, greenhouse gas emissions, and other air pollutants. A more effective and comprehensive energy efficiency strategy should be implemented to lower emission levels at lower prices. Research-based conclusions must be enhanced to help policymaking. The results of the experiment using the proposed method show that it is possible to predict 98.1%, grow at 96.8%, meet 98.5% of electricity demand, use 97.6% of power, and have a renewable energy ratio of 96.2%.

This research work aims at providing power quality improvement for the nonlinear load to improve the system performance indices by eliminating maximum total harmonic distortion (THD) and reducing neutral wire current. The idea is to integrate a shunt hybrid active power filter (SHAPF) with the system using machine learning control techniques. The system proposed has been evaluated under an artificial neural network (ANN), gated recurrent unit, and long short-term memory for the optimization of the SHAPF. The method is based on the detection of harmonic presence in the power system by testing and comparison of traditional pq0 theory and deep learning neural networks. The results obtained through the proposed methodology meet all the suggested international standards of THD. The results also satisfy the current removal from the neutral wire and deal efficiently with minor DC voltage variations occurring in the voltage-regulating current. The proposed algorithms have been evaluated on the performance indices of accuracy and computational complexities, which show effective results in terms of 99% accuracy and computational complexities. deep learning-based findings are compared based on their root-mean-square error (RMSE) and loss function. The proposed system can be applied for domestic and industrial load conditions in a four-wire three-phase power distribution system for harmonic mitigation. Full article
