Artificial Intelligence in Energy and Renewable Energy Systems

Soteris A. Kalogirou

This book presents state of the art applications of artificial intelligence in energy and renewable energy systems design and modelling. It covers such topics as solar energy, wind energy, biomass and hydrogen as well as building services systems, power generation systems, combustion processes and refrigeration. In all these areas applications of artificial intelligence methods such as artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic and a combination of the above, called hybrid systems, are included. The book is intended for a wide audience ranging from the undergraduate level up to the research academic and industrial communities dealing with modelling and performance prediction of energy and renewable energy systems.
