Abstract

In recent times, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have emerged as revolutionary technologies with wide-ranging applications across various fields, including energy conversion and storage (ECS) systems. These methods utilise large amounts of data and computational power to predict material properties, optimise energy storage systems, and develop control algorithms for energy conversion devices. This literature analysis focuses on the latest advancements and methodologies in AI/ML applications to ECS systems, encompassing material design and discovery, property prediction, and system optimisation. Furthermore, the study examines the main challenges of integrating ML into these systems. These problems include issues related to data availability and quality, model interpretability, transfer learning, experimental integration, and ethics. Despite the challenges, ML has the potential to revolutionise energy technologies and enhance performance. Advancements in ML-driven sustainable energy technologies are fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and research, offering promising solutions for sustainable energy.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Hybrid physics-ML models (e.g., PINNs) offer promise but can be complex to develop, requiring interdisciplinary expertise.

    “Hybrid physics-ML models (e.g., PINNs) offer promise [32,50] but can be complex to develop, requiring in-terdisciplinary expertise”
  • ROI uncertainty is worsened by integration risks and AI performance variability linked to data quality or model generalizability, and challenges in scaling nascent technologies.

    “This is worsened by integration risks and AI performance variability linked to data quality or model generalizability (Sections 3.1.1,3.1.5and 3.3.3;[29]), and challenges in scaling nascent technologies [32].”
  • Key policy issues include unclear regulatory frameworks for AI in energy, insufficient/misaligned funding, challenges in multi-operator/crossborder governance, and policy silos that fail to integrate AI promotion with Sustainability or other goals.

    “Key issues include unclear regulatory frameworks for AI in energy [13,52], insufficient/misaligned funding [32], challenges in multi-operator/crossborder governance [34], and policy silos that fail to integrate AI promotion with Sustainability or other goals.”
  • Transfer learning limitations and evolving regulatory landscapes add uncertainty to novel tech transitions.

    “while transfer learning limitations ( [32]; Section 3.1.5)and evolving regulatory landscapes (Section 3.2.3)add uncertainty.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
