The current study optimizes a regional integrated energy system that combines concentrated solar power, wind turbines, energy storage, and thermal components to enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. The primary objectives were to reduce operational expenses, address environmental concerns, and ensure a reliable electricity supply through integrated load response mechanisms. Fuzzy probability-constrained programming was used to model the uncertainty of renewable energy output, and a modified gravitational search algorithm (MGSA) was employed for optimization. Two different approaches to energy demand response were studied: one using electric boilers with a fixed thermoelectric power ratio, and another employing a flexible system for cooling, heating, and power that could adjust as needed. The implementation of the load response program resulted in a 0.75 % increase in the electrical peak-valley difference and a 0.51 % increase in the thermal peak-valley difference, indicating slight shifts in demand distribution. Additionally, valley values decreased by 0.37 % for electrical loads and by 2.71 % for thermal loads, suggesting modest improvements in off-peak load utilization. These changes demonstrate the program's potential to reshape load profiles; however, significant peak reduction will require further enhancement.

A significant challenge in modern electric power grids is the stability of power systems, particularly under extreme events such as demand surges and disruptions. Integrating renewable energy into the current system present a viable approach for meeting the growing demand. Furthermore, apart from efficiently meeting the increasing need, these renewable energy systems, with their supplementary circuitry, can substantially improve the stability of the power system. This research suggests a new method that combines deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with a Fractional Order deep Q network (FO-DQN) to address stability problems in multimachine power systems. Incorporating wind and PV systems, which function as STATCOM when necessary, introduces intricacy to the system's dynamics. The proposed DRL based controller facilitates dynamic real-time control of power flow, guaranteeing voltage stability throughout the system. The controller based on DRL is able to autonomously modify the settings of the PV Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and unified inter-phase power controller (UIPC) operated wind turbine (WT) system. This adjustment helps to provide reactive power compensation and stabilize the system during extreme conditions. This results in a high level of resilience and flexibility. The efficacy of the suggested approach for enhancing stability of multimachine power systems is proven through thorough simulations and comparative analysis. The results demonstrate higher system performance, reduced voltage drop, and optimal reactive power compensation in the presence of diverse operating circumstances and disturbances (fault).

Cloud computing faces significant challenges in task management, particularly in balancing server loads to prevent both overload and underload conditions while meeting diverse quality of service requirements. The need to manage multiple criteria further increases the complexity of this problem. Additionally, the heterogeneity of cloud resources often complicates efficient task scheduling. To overcome these challenges, this paper introduces a hybrid model that integrates the decision tree approach with the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm for the scheduling of independent tasks. The model aims to optimize makespan, reduce total cost, enhance resource utilization, and maintain load balance. In the proposed approach, tasks are first classified using a decision tree, after which the GWO algorithm allocates resources to the selected tasks. Simulations are conducted using the CloudSim toolkit, in a heterogeneous environment. The experiments consider various input scenarios, ranging from 200 to 3200 tasks. Compared to the standalone GWO algorithm, the proposed DT-GWO hybrid model achieves improvements of at least 18.5 % in makespan, 3.4 % in average resource utilization, and 12.7 % in total cost, all while maintaining load balance.

The integration of heterogeneous renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, poses significant challenges to the dynamic economic and environmental dispatch of power systems due to their intermittent and uncertain nature. Efficient coordination between generation and consumption is crucial to ensure stability, reduce emissions, and lower costs. Accurate forecasting of renewable outputs is a critical prerequisite for achieving optimal dispatch decisions. To address this, we propose a hybrid prediction and scheduling framework that leverages time series forecasting to support real-time dispatch optimization. Specifically, we develop a novel prediction model based on a Completely Input and Output-connected Long Short-Term Memory (CIAO-LSTM) network, whose parameters are optimized using an Improved Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm (IFOA). This approach enhances the model’s ability to capture both linear and nonlinear temporal features and improves convergence through adaptive search strategies. The predicted outputs are then incorporated into a rolling real-time scheduling model that jointly minimizes generation costs and pollutant emissions. Simulation results on a six-unit power system demonstrate that our approach significantly improves prediction accuracy and dispatch performance, reducing average generation costs and emissions by over 8 % and 16 %, respectively. These results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in promoting green and sustainable power systems.

With the growth of global energy demand and the pursuit of sustainable energy, microgrids, as an emerging energy supply system, are becoming increasingly important. However, the energy management of microgrid hybrid energy storage systems face numerous challenges, including significant energy waste and poor power supply stability. This study aims to optimize the energy management of microgrid hybrid energy storage systems using reinforcement learning methods. By constructing a reinforcement learning model architecture based on the Markov decision process, the state space, action space, and reward function are systematically designed. The improved proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm is then used for implementation. Historical microgrid operation data spanning one year was preprocessed to normalize critical variables, and a simulation was run in a Python environment using OpenAI Gym and proprietary energy system dynamics. The experiment utilizes the operational data of a regional microgrid for one year to compare the traditional model, based on fixed-priority energy allocation rules, with the neural network model. The results show that the reinforcement learning model has an average annual energy management efficiency of 84.5 %, which is significantly improved compared with the 54.25 % of the traditional model and 70 % of the neural network model; the energy loss rate is only 8 %, which is much lower than the 25 % of the traditional model and 18 % of the neural network model; the comprehensive index of power supply stability is 0.92, which is also better than other models. This study provides an efficient and adaptable solution for microgrid energy management, which is expected to promote the healthy development of the microgrid industry.

Offshore wind turbine gearboxes often experience malfunctions due to harsh environmental conditions, resulting in significant downtime and financial losses. This study presents an innovative early warning system for monitoring gearbox oil temperature using a novel FSTAE-ATT model. The system leverages SCADA data and employs Feature Mode Decomposition (FMD) to enhance feature extraction from gearbox oil temperature measurements. The FSTAE-ATT model integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for spatial feature extraction and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for temporal dependencies, augmented by a self-attention mechanism to highlight critical features. The model's reconstruction error serves as an early warning indicator for gearbox oil temperature anomalies. The effectiveness of the FSTAE-ATT model was validated using real-world data from an offshore wind farm in Yangjiang, Guangdong, China. Comparative analysis with other models, including STAE, STAE-ATT, AE, TAE, and SAE, demonstrated that the FSTAE-ATT model outperforms them with lower RMSE (e.g., 0.003452 for unit #40) and MAE (e.g., 0.002828 for unit #40) metrics. Additionally, significantly earlier warning times (e.g., up to 22 h and 36 min for unit #40), provide substantial lead time for preventative maintenance. This work contributes to advancing offshore wind turbine condition monitoring and fault detection, enhancing the sustainability and profitability of offshore wind energy systems.

On the road to carbon neutrality, the solution to the power consumption optimization problem of thousands of households is an essential link. This work mainly constructs a mathematical model of a smart household energy management system (HEMS) considering the real-time users’ willingness. The work proposes a fully-connected layers-embedded self-attention optimizer (FCSAO) based on quantum and fuzzy logic for the HEMS models. The FCSAO is an optimization method accelerated by fully-connected layers-embedded self-attention networks (FCSANs), quantum-inspired logic, and fuzzy logic. In a conventional optimization algorithm iteration process, a generative adversarial network incorporating a self-attention mechanism is adopted to characterize the input-output relationship of the optimization problem, and a quantum universal gate is employed to train the deep network by dividing the dataset into four classes based on the output of the optimization problem. The trained deep network can accelerate the iterative process of traditional optimization algorithm. The smart HEMS divides the loads in the home into rigid loads, adjustable loads, and air conditioner loads. The smart HEMS model meets the goals of users to save electrical energy and reduce electricity price expenditure by the proposed FCSAO based on quantum-inspired and fuzzy logic. Besides, the smart HEMS model can effectively control the operation state of the air conditioner and give the optimal operation time of adjustable loads. Furthermore, with three different scenarios simulated in MATLAB, the optimized indoor temperature meets users’ willingness for temperature comfort level by the proposed FCSAO based on quantum-inspired and fuzzy logic with great expression capability; the proposed FCSAO saves 1.05 % electricity cost.

Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN) is developed to overcome the challenges of environments where classical networking models fail due to unstable connectivity and high latency. The DTN offers stable connections between nodes and operates effectively in scenarios where nodes frequently experience disruptions or only sporadic communication opportunities. However, the classical techniques allowed limited data communication and did not apply to the network with reduced resources and which had low delivery rates and high delays. Therefore, this research aims to develop a Green Anaconda Skill Optimization (GASO) for an eQoS-aware routing solution for a DTN-IoT network. Initially, the DTN-IoT network is simulated by considering energy and mobility models. Then, for predicting the energy, Recurrent Radial Basis Function Networks (RRBFN) is used. After that, Cluster Head (CH) selection is executed by GASO, considering multiple objectives, like cache ratio, residual energy, predicted energy, throughput, distance, trust factors, and delay. Finally, GASO is employed for routing, and the above-mentioned multi-objectives are considered. Here, the GASO is established through the fusion of Green Anaconda Optimization (GAO) and Skill Optimization Algorithm (SOA). The evaluation results highlight that the GASO accomplished a reduced distance of 0.253 m, low energy consumption of 0.783 J, and minimal delay of 0.270 sec, with an increased throughput of 0.313 Mbps.

As microgrid systems become more complex and interconnected, traditional control strategies face significant challenges in terms of scalability, efficiency, and responsiveness. Existing models, often relying on time-triggered approaches, result in excessive communication, energy waste, and slower system responses. The main purpose of this work is to formulate a decentralized control architecture that communicates better, regulates voltage and frequency, and stabilizes the microgrids. To address these limitations, this research introduces an innovative decentralized control framework that combines Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, integrated with Event-Triggered Control to optimize microgrid operations. This methodology applies GNNs to capture the spatial dependencies among microgrid components like generators, storage, and loads. Meanwhile, the LSTMs identify the temporal dynamics associated with variations in load and generation. System control actions are then triggered only when necessary, hence reducing communication overhead considerably. The results demonstrates 55 % less communication load was reported, voltage regulation accuracy increased by 45 %, and other efficiency measures for frequency regulation improved by 35 %. Along with these, other performance metrics indicate a 30 % improvement of the Voltage Stability Index (VSI) going from 0.47 to 0.33 and lowering the Frequency Regulation Error (FRE) by 20 % from 4.5 % to 3.6 %. All of which consolidated the evidence of the efficiency of the approach suggested to control microgrid operations in a real-time adaptive energy-efficient manner. These findings highlight the powerful combination of GNNs and LSTMs for achieving adaptive, energy-efficient, and real-time control in decentralized microgrid systems.
