Electrical Engineering for Sustainable Energy: Electric Vehicles, Smart Grids, Renewable Power Systems, and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Intelligent Electrical Engineering for Sustainable Energy provides a comprehensive introduction to modern electrical engineering technologies that are shaping the transition toward clean, intelligent, and sustainable energy systems. The book brings together renewable energy, electric vehicles, battery energy storage, smart grids, power electronics, and artificial intelligence in a single practical and academically oriented reference. It explains how these technologies work individually and how they can be integrated to create efficient, reliable, and intelligent electrical energy systems. The book covers: • Fundamentals of sustainable electrical energy systems• Solar, wind, hydro, and other renewable energy technologies• Renewable energy integration and grid-connected systems• Electric vehicle technologies and charging infrastructure• Battery energy storage systems and energy management• Smart grids and intelligent power distribution• Power electronics for renewable energy and electric mobility• Artificial intelligence and machine learning in power systems• Intelligent energy management and demand response• Microgrids, energy optimization, and future smart-energy technologies Special attention is given to the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in modern power systems, including load forecasting, renewable energy forecasting, fault detection, predictive maintenance, battery management, demand response, EV charging optimization, and intelligent grid operation. With clear explanations, technical concepts, practical examples, numerical problems, case studies, and suggested system diagrams, this book is designed to help readers understand both the fundamental principles and emerging applications of sustainable electrical engineering. It is suitable for engineering students, researchers, educators, electrical and electronics professionals, renewable-energy practitioners, EV and energy-storage enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the development of intelligent and sustainable energy systems. The book aims to provide a foundation for understanding how electrical engineering can contribute to a cleaner, smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable energy future.
