Editorial: AI-based energy storage systems

摘要

One key highlight of this progress relates to active power balancing across complex hybrid energy systems. Xiao et al. propose a Transfer Learning Double Deep Q-Network (TLDDQN) to handle active power in windphotovoltaic-storage systems. This method decreases the requirement for thermal generation and effectively adapts to complex environments. Furthermore, it also implements adaptive entropy mechanisms, which can improve agent training, reduce convergence time, and enhance policy learning under inconsistent environments. Compared to particle swarm optimization, this AI-based approach not only accelerates training but also achieves higher accuracy in handling ESS dispatch. Complementing this, Awaji et al. develop a real-time energy management technique for DC microgrids integrating batteries and supercapacitors. Their energy management system (EMS) uses the Incremental Conductance algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Furthermore, it effectively maintains grid stability during fault occurrences, which is also validated through OPAL-RT simulations. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of battery balancing, especially for systems that include PV generation and DC motor loads. Overall, the results show that robust control architectures powered by AI can significantly enhance grid flexibility and operational reliability.In the broader context of intelligent MPPT systems, Alsulami et al. conduct a comparative analysis of traditional and AI-driven MPPT algorithms. Their work shows that Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) outperform conventional perturb-and-observe methods under fluctuating irradiance. However, they also point out that insufficient training data can impair performance in changing temperature conditions. Fuzzy Logic Control is noted for delivering the most balanced and reliable performance across solar and thermal variations, making it particularly effective for embedded ESS in robotics and autonomous systems. These findings suggest that while deep learning holds promise, hybrid AI methods such as neuro-fuzzy systems may offer more consistent results under realworld uncertainties.As electrification expands, especially with the growth of electric vehicles (EVs), demand-side management becomes essential. Almutairi et al. present a linear programming-based framework that optimizes EV charging in shared residential parking lots, accounting for transformer limits, charger availability, and user schedules. Their user satisfaction index demonstrates that even at 3-6% EV penetration, satisfaction exceeds 75-80% when infrastructure is optimized. Such modeling offers a user-centric approach to managing residential energy demand and reducing grid overload during peak hours. Further advancing this domain, Srihari et al. introduce an Improved Honey Badger Algorithm (IHBA) to manage Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) interactions. Their AI-based EMS integrates PV generation forecasts and user preferences, achieving high efficiency (over 98%), low power loss (0.197 kW), and low harmonic distortion (3.12%). This synergy between AI and EV-ESS coordination reflects a major shift in energy management paradigms, offering a scalable pathway toward intelligent transportation-energy convergence.Battery health forecasting is another important area where AI adds notable value. Rammohan et al. simulate lithium-ion battery degradation in EVs using an Arrhenius-based mathematical framework. Their model indicates that raising the operating temperature from 25°C to 60°C decreases battery life from 6,000 to 3,000 hours. These results quantitatively support the importance of thermal management and precise degradation forecasting. Including such models in AI-aided ESS systems could enable real-time lifecycle tracking and preventive adjustments to charging techniques, particularly in climate-sensitive or highdemand conditions.Securing AI-powered grids is equally essential.
