Workshop on AI for Sustainable Energy Systems and Green AI
hosted by HEU project ENFIELD at
Brdo Estate, Brdo pri Kranju, Slovenia
11-12.03.2025
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used for modelling, both for the purpose of understanding certain phenomena and as well as for design and development in engineering. Among other things, AI has been successfully used for creating, improving, and controlling energy systems, and for understanding their roles in socio-technical systems. With approaches such as AI-based design, surrogate modeling for digital twins, and data-driven modeling of large-scale interactions between energy systems and individuals, AI has contributed to more sustainable energy conversion and transmission. At the same time, the computational cost of AI – most notably of large foundational models for generative AI – has risen substantially. There is thus a growing need and wider recognition that AI systems must, like all systems, be designed considering their environmental costs during development (training costs) and deployment (inference costs).
This workshop is dedicated to bringing together experts to discuss
the role of AI in the development and control of energy systems
approaches that reduce the energy demand of AI applications
The scope of the workshop thus includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
AI Models of Energy Systems
Virtual Sensing and Parameter Inference for Energy Systems
Smart Management of (Micro-)Grids
AI-Assisted Analysis of Smart Meter Data
AI for Energy Poverty Alleviation
Resource-Efficient Deep Learning/Machine Learning
Computationally Efficient Learning Approaches (Continual Learning, Knowledge Distillation, etc.)
AI on the Resource-Constrained Edge
Carbon-Aware Operation of AI Systems
Green Generative Language Models
Quantification, Assessment, and Policing of AI Energy Consumption
We solicit contributions in the form of an extended abstract of up to two pages (including figures and references and using this LaTeX template) that can be, upon acceptance, presented via a talk or a poster (to be decided by the program committee). The abstracts will be published in a Book of Abstracts (with ISBN) under a Creative Commons license on the workshop website. Attending the workshop is free of charge.
Important Dates:
Submission Deadline: 10.02.2025
Notification of Acceptance: 17.02.2025
Workshop: 11.03.2025
