Although ISA-95-based architectures are widely used for enterprise-control integration, practical deployment of energy-focused monitoring frameworks across large industrial environments remains insufficiently documented. This paper presents a hierarchical multilevel smart energy monitoring system developed for industrial energy management based on ISA-95 principles and OT-IT integration. The proposed architecture integrates field instrumentation, PLC/SCADA systems, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms into a unified energy monitoring environment. The framework was implemented across more than 15 manufacturing facilities and integrated approximately 1,476 electrical analyzers, 214 compressed-air flowmeters, 126 gas correctors, 73 water meters, and nearly 30,000 operational data streams. The architecture enabled centralized monitoring, plant-level benchmarking, utility-system integration, and enterprise-wide visibility of energy performance. Evaluation using energy datasets obtained from 21 glass manufacturing facilities revealed that furnace systems accounted for approximately 73% of total energy consumption, while furnace and waste heat recovery projects represented 34.7% of identified energy-saving potential. The integrated architecture enabled systematic identification of energy-intensive assets, elimination of fragmented data structures, and improved cross-functional energy performance evaluation. The study demonstrates how an ISA-95-based energy monitoring architecture can support industrial energy management through scalable data integration, hierarchical decision support, and enterprise-wide energy visibility.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":538,"journal":{"name":"Energy Informatics","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s42162-026-00697-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most deep learning studies for electricity load forecasting rely on heuristic sliding window approaches without any formal feature selection, the subset of studies that explicitly perform temporal feature selection has been predominantly limited to univariate Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF), an approach inherently incapable of detecting cross-regional temporal dependencies once multivariate confounding effects are controlled for. This study proposes a multivariate temporal feature selection framework based on the Partial Lag Correlation Matrix Function (PLCMF), a formal multivariate generalization of PACF in a vector autoregression framework validated through the Granger Causality test as a dual-confirmation principle. Only cross-regional lags that simultaneously satisfy both conditions of direct partial dependency significance (PLCMF) and incremental predictive relevance (Granger) are integrated as input features of a gated recurrent unit model with a multi-input multi-output architecture. The evaluation results on the test data show that GRU-PLCMF outperforms GRU with a sliding window (GRU-SW) and GRU with univariate PACF (GRU-PACF) in 25 of the 54 evaluation scenarios across three distinct test windows, with a minimum MAPE value of 1.81%. The PLCMF analysis successfully identified partial dependency structures that varied systematically across periods, including cross-regional load compensation phenomena and asymmetric bidirectional dependency patterns, which could not be detected by univariate or sliding window approaches. These findings provide empirical evidence that the integration of a multivariate statistics-based temporal feature selection framework improves the out-of-sample forecasting accuracy of the GRU model and the interpretability of the cross-regional feature selection structure used for simultaneous multi-region electricity load forecasting.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":538,"journal":{"name":"Energy Informatics","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s42162-026-00689-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149132857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the extent to which different knowledge extraction approaches produce conceptually meaningful representations of the PED concept remains insufficiently examined. This study examines thematic patterns in two representative English-language corpora using expert-guided and machine-derived topic modeling with a three-way analytical design. A Pseudo-document-Guided LDA (PG-LDA) model was applied to structured case descriptions from the PED-DB (66 documents after preprocessing), while unsupervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) was applied to an unstructured corpus of 35 documents retained from 44 identified PED project sources (approximately 149,420 words). To provide a comparative reference point for interpreting differences attributable to modeling approach and corpus type, an additional unsupervised control LDA (K = 7) was trained on the same structured corpus as PG-LDA. Cross-corpus semantic alignment was evaluated using sentence-embedding cosine similarity (SBERT; all-MiniLM-L6-v2), which accommodates the near-zero lexical overlap between expert-defined bigram topics (PG-LDA) and corpus-derived unigram topics (LDA). Results indicate moderate semantic alignment across most thematic dimensions (SBERT cosine similarity range: 0.348–0.535), with the cross-model comparison (PG-LDA vs. control LDA; mean SBERT = 0.453) and the cross-corpus comparison (control LDA vs. unstructured LDA; mean SBERT = 0.462) showing broadly comparable alignment scores. Stakeholder integration showed consistently weak alignment across all model comparisons, while financial feasibility and mobility integration remained comparatively underrepresented in both corpora. These asymmetries suggest differences in how PED knowledge is produced, communicated, and institutionalized across expert-curated and project-communication contexts. The findings suggest that expert-guided modeling supports conceptual consolidation of policy-relevant themes, whereas machine-driven modeling reveals emergent narratives and contextual experimentation dynamics. By integrating deductive and inductive analytical perspectives, the study contributes to a more reflexive understanding of PED discourse and supports the development of more balanced knowledge frameworks with broader qualitative and institutional evidence.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":538,"journal":{"name":"Energy Informatics","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s42162-026-00688-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148928097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, reported benefits are often based on case studies and do not clearly distinguish systemic operational effects from intrinsic parameter advantages. This work investigates under which conditions heterogeneous loss characteristics in a HESS lead to measurable loss savings and sizing gains compared to a single storage system. To eliminate parameterization bias, the concept of loss-equivalent storage units is employed. A linear storage model is formulated as a cascaded and bi-level quadratic programming problem that minimizes system dimensions under defined loss constraints. A parameter study is conducted across 1024 load profiles, varying efficiency, self-discharge rate, and storage dimensions, resulting in more than 800 000 parameter configurations. The dominant predictor of both sizing gains and loss savings is the variation coefficient of the load profile. Strong statistical relationships are observed (Pearson correlation coefficients <span>(approx)</span> 0.9). Nevertheless, practical sizing gains are limited and rarely exceed 3% within realistic parameter ranges. In contrast, relative loss savings are substantial and often exceed 20%, following a saturating functional relationship with sizing gains. The results indicate that load-profile variability primarily governs the benefits of a HESS with regards to loss reduction. While dimensional advantages are modest, loss reductions remain pronounced and relevant for operational cost and thermal management.

This study implements a comparative analysis of several uncertainty-aware machine learning models to estimate energy consumption and driving range of EVs using real-world driving data.

The models are evaluated using deterministic metrics including RMSE, MAE, R<sup>2</sup>, and uncertainty-specific metrics including PICP and MPIW. The experimental results showed that accuracy of predictions, uncertainty coverage reliability, and interval sharpness were not equally good for the frameworks evaluated, resulting in significant trade-offs. SVR Residual Bootstrap had the best prediction performance in a deterministic prediction with RMSE = 2.358, MAE = 1.742, and R<sup>2</sup> = 0.893. RF Variance and LightGBM CQR had higher uncertainty coverage but with wider intervals, while LightGBM ACQR had better balance between uncertainty coverage reliability and interval efficiency. Among all implemented approaches, the results of the SVR Conformal approach showed consistent and stable uncertainty estimation with reliability of the coverage (PICP = 0.95) and moderate interval width (MPIW = 15), making it suitable for real-world EV applications.

This paper proposes a unified deep learning–based optimization framework for coordinated operation and resource allocation across the human–vehicle–charger–road–grid ecosystem. Unlike existing formulations relying on static optimization or distributionally robust approximations, the proposed method adopts a dynamic multi-agent deep reinforcement learning paradigm that jointly captures the spatiotemporal evolution of energy flow, traffic conditions, and user behaviors. Each agent−representing a distinct domain component−learns adaptive decision policies through cooperative reward sharing and environment embedding, enabling scalable coordination without centralized supervision. The mathematical formulation integrates a multi-term objective that minimizes total energy cost, travel delay, and grid imbalance, subject to nonlinear power–traffic coupling constraints. A hybrid convolutional–recurrent neural architecture encodes spatial topology and temporal dependencies, while federated gradient aggregation preserves cross-agent learning stability. Case studies based on a synthetic urban energy–mobility testbed demonstrate that the proposed framework reduces total system cost by 21.7%, improves renewable utilization by 24%, and enhances voltage stability by 15% compared with benchmark methods. The results further reveal robust adaptation to renewable forecast errors up to 20% and high-traffic scenarios with 30% demand surges. This study advances a generalized paradigm for cross-domain deep optimization, bridging the gap between intelligent mobility and resilient grid operation. The framework provides a scalable pathway toward data-driven, sustainable, and self-coordinating urban energy ecosystems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":538,"journal":{"name":"Energy Informatics","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s42162-026-00643-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149132962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tool is trained and validated on real energy use measurements from Norwegian buildings with at least one year of data and consists of two modules: the classification module based on a random forest classifier, trained on data from 6403 buildings across 12 building categories, and the disaggregation module based on a Categorical Boosting (CB) regressor, trained and validated on data from 323 buildings across 9 building categories. To address the scarcity of labelled electric-heating data, the disaggregation module employs a cross-domain training approach where smart electricity and district heating measurements from buildings with district heating (DH) serve as a proxy for all-electric buildings. Results show that the cross-domain approach generalises to school and apartment buildings but is only tested on DH buildings for other categories. The effect of including classification probabilities and extended features in the disaggregation module is also evaluated. Classification performance is reduced compared to the original version, due to an increased number of residential units in the training set and common confusion between apartments and houses, as well as a reduced number of schools in the training set to avoid information leakage, as these buildings are reserved for the disaggregation training set.

In order for DSM measures to control a huge number of DERs in an optimal way, a balance between their model complexity and level of detail needs to be found. To deal with this challenge, we propose the evaluation of different white-box model variants, consisting of a different set of submodels, based on the Shapley value and the maximal power of the DER. The resulting Shapley value is used to assess which submodels contribute most to the model’s utility, which we measure by its accuracy. The approach is applied to a heat pump case study using a white-box modeling framework. In the modeling framework, four submodels are defined and assessed by utilizing the proposed approach. Their contributions are quantified based on the corresponding Shapley values, which are 10.58, 0.68, 0.25 and 0.52 <i>kW</i> respectively. Specifically, the contribution of the larger hot water storage (HWS), i.e. 0.52, is quantified as 2.08 times than that of the smaller HWS, i.e. 0.25, despite the larger HWS having only 1.39 times the storage capacity of the smaller HWS. It indicates that the contribution of the storage submodel is not linearly proportional to its physical capacity. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach for white-box DER models and extend its applicability beyond black-box models in which it has primarily been studied.
