This paper proposes a novel hybrid adaptive stacked ensemble-TCN approach for improving wind power forecasting accuracy by combining adaptive stacked ensemble learning and temporal neural networks. This approach preprocesses data by removing outliers and identifying important features for accurate forecasting, utilizing data from MERRA2 instruments. The variables of the hybrid adaptive stacked ensemble-TCN approach have been optimized to get optimal results in evaluating it on multiple wind farms in Europe (EuroWind 1, EuroWind 2, and EuroWind 3). The energy effectiveness metrics show that this hybrid approach significantly reduces errors on all three datasets. In particular, the hybrid approach RMSE obtained for EuroWind 1 is 0.0017 (as opposed to 0.0027 for random forest), and its MAE evaluation is 0.0011 (as opposed to 0.0013 for random forest). The RMSE number for EuroWind 2 is 0.0015, the comparison is 0.0019 for random forest, while the MAE value is 0.0006, as opposed to 0.0008 for random forest. Regarding EuroWind 3, the RMSE result is 0.0176 (as opposed to 0.1755 for random forest) while the MAE value is 0.0158 (as opposed to 0.0863 for random forest). These findings show that the hybrid adaptive stacked ensemble-TCN approach is more effective than the current techniques, with RMSE results from 0.0014 to 0.0176 and MAE results between 0.0010 and 0.0158. This approach greatly enhances grid stability, forecasts wind power, and encourages the production of renewable energy sources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11798,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 108959"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145921515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical models are used to simulate their performance and build efficient observers in real use. The accuracy of these models is a major concern, as they can be parameterized by several values. Most of the previous works study the estimation of these parameters using various metaheuristics. While these methods are stochastic and do not provide any proof of optimality, the current paper introduces a global optimization method to accurately bound the optimal root mean square error between the parameterized model and some experimental data. The proposed algorithm is based on a deterministic Interval Branch-and-Bound optimization (IBBO) framework. Interval arithmetic ensures set-based computations to safely bound the objective function value. Four types of fuel cells, with their experimental data, are used to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods. IBBO results are compared with some competing optimization methods used in the literature. They show a better accuracy for the computed feasible solutions (upper bounds) and a guaranteed value of the best possible solutions (lower bounds). This last information is not possible to obtain with metaheuristic algorithms. Compared to other Branch-and-Bound algorithms, IBBO proposes a new mix of mechanisms (e.g. advanced constraint propagation, specific search heuristic and feasible point finding method). Due to the deterministic nature of IBBO, results can be repeated. Its convergence analysis is detailed on four fuel cells from which a real test system based on Scribner technology is used to demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of IBBO on several usage scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11798,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 108932"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145921681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Annual MSW production exceeds 2.5 million tons, with cumulative waste expected to reach approximately 61.6 million tons between 2018 and 2038, placing substantial pressure on non-engineered landfills and exacerbating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study evaluates national-scale waste-to-energy (WtE) strategies—landfill gas (LFG) recovery and incineration—to mitigate environmental impacts and enhance energy recovery. The U.S. EPA LandGEM model was integrated with five machine learning algorithms (Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Neural Network, and Gradient Boosting) to improve methane generation predictions. The optimized Gradient Boosting model reduced prediction error from ∼25 % to &lt; 8 % and achieved ∼95 % accuracy, enabling reliable 20-year power forecasts. Three WtE scenarios were assessed: (A1) incineration-only, (A2) full LFG recovery, and (A3) a hybrid system combining both technologies. Scenario A1, represented by the Kabd WtE facility, treats roughly 1.2 million tons of MSW annually and generates ∼650 GWh/year. Scenario A2 achieves a maximum of ∼6.48 × 10⁵ MWh/year and sustains energy recovery for decades after landfill closure. The hybrid Scenario A3 delivers the strongest performance, producing an average of ∼8.2 × 10⁵ MWh/year and reaching a peak of ∼865 GWh/year—equivalent to ∼3 % of Kuwait’s residential electricity demand—while reducing GHG emissions by ∼48 %. The economic assessment, incorporating avoided landfill operating costs, reduced landfilled tonnage, and electricity revenues, indicates that the hybrid WtE system could yield annual savings of approximately US$30 million while enabling electricity export to neighboring regions. These results demonstrate that ML-enhanced LFG modeling, combined with a hybrid WtE system, can shift Kuwait’s MSW management from disposal-oriented practices toward an integrated resource-recovery framework, offering a scalable model for other rapidly urbanizing arid regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11798,"journal":{"name":"Energy Reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 108974"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145921765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
