Reliable voltage regulation in cyber-physical smart grids is essential for maintaining sustainable and secure power distribution. Modern distribution networks increasingly rely on interconnected control devices, such as multilevel distribution static compensators (DSTATCOMs), which enhance reactive power management and voltage stability but expose critical vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. This pa…

The integration of renewable energy into brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) desalination systems is essential for addressing water scarcity in off-grid and arid regions. However, the intermittent nature of solar energy poses significant challenges to continuous and efficient operation. This paper presents the design, modeling, and validation of an Energy-Aware Control (EAC) framework for a sin…

Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP) has undergone a profound transformation over the past four decades, evolving from a deterministic, cost-driven task into a multi-dimensional optimization challenge that addresses uncertainty, renewable integration, resilience, and policy coordination. Early studies focused on meeting growing demand at minimum cost using fixed forecasts and static system assum…

Rural energy poverty poses a significant challenge to China's sustainable development, yet existing research lacks integrated analytical frameworks to systematically explore its evolution and explanatory patterns. This study analyzes balanced panel data from 31 Chinese provinces between 2011 and 2021 using an integrated framework combining spatio-temporal analysis with spatial econometric models.…

Buildings are one of the main causes of energy consumption all over the world. Designing cost-effective, simple methods for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system in future zero energy buildings is one of the major contributors to reaching net zero energy goals by 2050. This study focuses on utilizing CFD for designing an advanced wind catcher for enhancing the natural ventilation in l…

The accelerated movement towards smart and sustainable energy systems has established the need of sophisticated computational procedures to address issues at numerous levels of the energy system as more important. Here the paper gives a comprehensive analysis of AI-based computational methodologies (AI-CMs) to improve energy devices and systems, both at the materials level and grid-level optimiza…
