​As carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other greenhouse gases constantly rise and constitute the main contributor to climate change, temperature rise and global warming, artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of things, and blockchain technologies are enlisted to help enforce energy transition and transform the entire energy sector.

The book at hand presents state-of-the-art developments in artificial intelligence-empowered analytics of energy data and artificial intelligence-empowered application development. Topics covered include a presentation of the various stakeholders in the energy sector and their corresponding required analytic services, such as state-of-the-art machine learning, artificial intelligence, and optimization models and algorithms tailored for a series of demanding energy problems and aiming at providing optimal solutions under specific constraints.

Professors, researchers, scientists, engineers, and students in energy sector-related disciplines are expected to be inspired and benefit from this book, along with readers from other disciplines wishing to learn more about this exciting new field of research.

This book focuses on creating an integrated library of learning models and optimization techniques to assist decision-making on issues in the energy and building sector. It provides modern solutions to energy management and efficiency while addressing a scientific gap in the development of advanced algorithmic methods to solve these problems. More specifically, the focus is on the development of models and algorithms for problems falling into three broader categories, namely: (a) Distributed Energy Generation, (b) Microgrid Flexibility, and (c) Building Energy Efficiency. Artificial Intelligence models and mathematical optimization techniques are developed and presented for applications related to each of these categories, through a thorough analysis of the fundamental parameters of each application as well as the interactions among them. Professors, researchers, scientists, engineers, and students in energy sector-related disciplines are expected to be inspired and benefit from this book, along with readers from other disciplines wishing to learn more about this exciting new field of research.
