AI-Enabled Predictive Analytics for Sustainable Energy Consumption in Smart Cities

Abstract

The challenge of satisfying ever-growing energy demand while respecting environmental constraints is critical for both human history and present circumstances. Indeed, energy systems have gradually transformed, becoming remarkably complex over the last century, in order to meet the developments of the associated end-use sectors and continue to provide energy services. In this context, the management and operation of the energy systems at different timescales represent increasingly difficult tasks — especially for large geographical areas — but are fundamental to ensuring that daily lives are not unduly affected by energy shortages.

 

Demand-side management and demand response have appeared on the energy scene and become increasingly relevant over the years in the quest for sustainable development. Indeed, energy efficiency improvements and the optimization of the energy use at the demand level have great potential for operating and managing service supply in a sustainable way. Although demand-side management, demand response, and energy efficiency have very different goals, characteristics, and symbolism, they share many common traits that have led to their convergence and the merging together of demand-side activities. For this reason, such activities can be managed from a common framework in order to provide effective artificial intelligence–enabled predictive analytics in support of sustainable energy consumption also for smart (or intelligent) cities.
