Advances in Digitalization and Machine Learning for Integrated Building-Transportation Energy Systems examines the combined impact of buildings and transportation systems on energy demand and use. With a strong focus on AI and machine learning approaches, the book comprehensively discusses each part of the energy lifecycle, considering source, grid, demand, storage, and usage. Opening with an introduction to smart buildings and intelligent transportation systems, the book presents the fundamentals of AI and its application in renewable energy sources, alongside the latest technological advances. Other topics presented include building occupants' behavior and vehicle driving schedule with demand prediction and analysis, hybrid energy storages in buildings with AI, smart grid with energy digitalization, and prosumer-based P2P energy trading. The book concludes with discussions on blockchain technologies, IoT in smart grid operation, and the application of big data and cloud computing in integrated smart building-transportation energy systems. This title provides critical information to students, researchers, and engineers wanting to understand, design, and implement flexible energy systems to meet the rising demand in electricity.

Introduces spatiotemporal energy sharing with new energy vehicles and human-machine interactionsDiscusses the potential for electrification and hydrogenation in integrated building-transportation systems for sustainable developmentHighlights key topics related to traditional energy consumers, including peer-to-peer energy trading and cost-benefit business models

The increasing deployment of bioenergy frequently raises issues regarding the use of land and raw materials, infrastructure and logistics. In light of these sometimes conflicting interests Advances in Bioenergy provides an objective and wide-ranging overview of the technology, economics and policy of bioenergy. Offering an authoritative multidisciplinary summary of the opportunities and challenges associated with bioenergy utilization, with international researchers give up-to-date and detailed information on key issues for biomass production and conversion to energy.Key features: *Discusses different bioenergy uses such as transportation fuels, electricity and heat production. *Assesses emerging fields such as bio-based chemicals and bio-refineries. *Debates conditions for the mobilization of sustainable bioenergy supply chains and outlines governance systems to support this mobilization.* Dedicated chapters to sustainability governance and emerging tools such as certification systems and standards supporting growth of a sustainable bioenergy industry.*Considers the political, environmental, social and cultural context related to the demand for energy resources, the impact of this demand on the world around us, and the choices and behaviours of consumers.This book will be a vital reference to engineers, researchers and students that need an accessible overview of the bioenergy area. It will also be of high value for politicians, policymakers and industry leaders that need to stay up to date with the state-of-the-art science and technology in this area.
