Today, the global power demand relies on a delicate balance between conventional and renewable energy systems, necessitating both efficient power generation and the effective utilization of these energy resources through appropriate energy storage solutions. Integrating microgrid systems into the utility grid has become a critical facet of modern power systems. The intermittent and unpredictable nature of these energy sources poses a formidable challenge for academic scholars and researchers. This compels them to explore under-investigated areas, including energy source estimation, storage elements, load pattern prediction, coordination among distributed sources, and the development of energy management algorithms for precise and efficient control.

AI Approaches to Smart and Sustainable Power Systems tackles these issues using cutting-edge AI techniques. It examines the most effective methods to optimize voltage, frequency, power, fault diagnosis, component health, and overall power system quality and reliability. AI empowers predictive and preventive maintenance for a sustainable energy future. The book focuses on emerging research areas, including renewable energy, power flow calculations, demand scheduling, real-time performance validation, and AI integration into modern power systems, accompanied by insightful case studies.

It also aims to inspire authors and researchers to focus their expertise on AI's application in power systems. It serves as a guide for emerging researchers by presenting the latest trends and applications of AI in smart grids. Furthermore, it offers an all-encompassing view of contemporary work in sustainable energy development with AI techniques, providing a platform for contributors to publish their work and gain recognition in the field. Whether you are a student specializing in renewable systems, power electronics, energy management, modern AI and ML techniques, or a researcher in these various domains, this book will become an indispensable reference for your research journey. AI Approaches to Smart and Sustainable Power Systems unlocks the potential of AI for a more sustainable, efficient, and resilient power system.
