Optimization of Energy Consumption via Artificial Intelligence: A Study

Abstract

In the future intelligent machines will replace or enhance human capabilities in many areas. Artificial Intelligence is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software.”John McCarthy” who coined the tem in 1955 defines it as the “science and engineering of making intelligent machines”. As we are aware of the fact that energy consumption has grown tremendously over a few decades in all over the world which is environmentally unfriendly. It is essential at this stage of development to pause and critically examine the state of affairs via the application of AI in energy conservation and environmental system engineering.
In this paper we describe in a general way on how the existing applications of AI techniques provide intelligent solution to optimize the energy conservation now and in the future. Also, how Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks are used to remotely monitor and control the environment according to the decisions made by the centralized reasoner and EEMS(Energy Efficiency Management System)provides effective energy saving measures and high quality energy conservation services Energy efficiency has nowadays become one of the most challenging task for both academic and commercial organizations and this has boosted research on novel fields.
