Artificial intelligence in energy and renewable energy systems.1600212611 Artificial intelligence in energy and renewable energy Renewable energy utilizes natural resources such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, and hydroelectricity to biomass and biofuels for transportation. systems. Ed. by Soteris Kalogirou. Nova Science Publishers 2007 471 pages $79.00 Hardcover TJ163 Various applications of artificial intelligence are described for use in the modeling, prediction, and control of energy and renewable energy processes. International contributors in computer, electronics, and systems engineering explore areas such as artificial neural networks in solar thermal energy Solar thermal energy is a technology for harnessing solar energy for practical applications from solar heating to electrical power generation. Solar thermal collectors, such as solar hot water panels, are commonly used to generate solar hot water for domestic and light industrial systems, the application of control algorithms for wind speed prediction and active power generation, learning control of fluidized-bed combustion Fluidized-bed combustion A method of burning fuel in which the fuel is continually fed into a bed of reactive or inert material while a flow of air passes up through the bed, causing it to act like a turbulent fluid. processes for power plants, and the application of computational intelligence Computational intelligence (CI) is a successor of artificial intelligence. As an alternative to GOFAI it rather relies on heuristic algorithms such as in Fuzzy systems, Neural networks and Evolutionary computation. techniques to architectural and building acoustics.
