1.0 Introduction

The developments of global economic and science led to the situation of environment
deterioration and energy tense. It is claimed that artificial intelligence is playing an increasing
role in the research of management science and operational research areas. Intelligence is
commonly considered as the ability to collect knowledge and reason about knowledge to solve
complex problems. In the near Future, intelligent machines will replace human capabilities in
many areas. Artificial intelligence is the study and developments of intelligent machines and
software that can reason, learn, gather knowledge, communicate, manipulate and perceive the
objects.
John McCarthy coined the term in 1956 as branch of computer science concerned with making
computers behave like humans. Efficient energy use, sometimes simply called energy
efficiency, is the goal to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services.
for instance, installing fluorescent lights, LED lights or natural skylights reduces the amount
of energy required to attain the same level of illumination compared with using traditional
incandescent light bulbs. Compact fluorescent lights use one-third the energy of incandescent
lights and may last from 6 to 10 times longer.
The optimization of energy consumption is a critical objective in various domains, including
industrial processes, transportation systems, and smart cities. The growing concern for
environmental sustainability and the need to reduce energy costs have prompted researchers
and engineers to explore innovative solutions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have
emerged as powerful tools for optimizing energy consumption by enabling intelligent
decisionmaking and control. This project write-up outlines an approach for utilizing AI to

3.3 EEMS (Energy Efficiency Management Systems)

This paper analyses the optimization of energy via artificial intelligence through AI based
systems like EEMS (Energy Efficiency Management Systems) and how the combination of
CBR (Case- Based Reasoning, CBR) and MAS (Multi-agent System, MAS) method is
proposed to solve the existing problems in energy efficiency management. This paper
introduces AI (Artificial Intelligence, AI) to the design which will provide various solutions to
intelligent energy consumptions now and in the future. Energy efficiency management system
(EEMS) provides effective energy saving measures and high quality energy conservation
services; it will achieve the goal of energy conservation through system integration,
concordance and optimization to the existing energy, which is particularly important in today’s
situation. The existing EEMS is based on ZigBee, cloud computing and business intelligence
technology, when making strategies, they don’t pay much attention on users’ feedback. For this
reason, we present a novel approach which combines CBR with MAS to solve the existing
problems in EEMS. At the same time, users’ feedback is added into the design, making the
system more humanized and interaction with users more benign. Case Based Reasoning is the
process of solving new problems based on the solutions of similar past problems. It is not only
a powerful method for computer reasoning, but also a pervasive behaviour in everyday human
problem solving. On the other hand, Multi Agent System is a computerized system composed
of multiple interacting intelligent agents within an environment. MAS can be used to solve
problems that are difficult or impossible for an individual agent to solve.

19
3.4 ARCHITECTURE OF EEMS

Decision-making is the kernel of EEMS, due to the diversity of users’ requirements and
uncertainties in using electricity, it’s usually difficult to find fixed rules or algorithms to support
decision-making. Since CBR can use the old experience to solve new problems, providing
flexible solutions, and compared with the algorithms of quantitative, qualitative analysis of
experience is easier for us to acquire, CBR is suitable in the decision-making link. But in fact,
there is not much experience or similar cases in EEMS, it is hard for us to get a variety of
models in processing problems, so we present MAS in this paper to integrate different
processing modes in various industries and systems. The method of MAS can enrich knowledge
base of CBR, offering plenty of source cases.
To sum up, this paper adopts the approach of the combination of CBR and MAS technology in
EEMS, providing more diverse solutions in decision-making procedures. Systematic design is
shown in figure 1.

20
 • Decision-making Agent: This agent considers the results of energy efficiency analysis

information’s maintenance and classification in a regular time, including user profile,
energy-using equipment information, energy utilization data and data from measuring

3.5 CBR (Case-Based Reasoning)

Case-based reasoning (CBR) is put forward by professor Schank in 1982. Case-based reasoning
(CBR) has emerged as a major research area within artificial intelligence research over the last
decade due to both its widespread usage by humans and its appeal as a methodology for
building intelligent systems. Conventional CBR systems have been largely designed as
automated problem solvers for producing a solution to a given problem by adapting the solution
to a similar, previously solved problem.
Case- based reasoning can be seen as a cycle of the following four tasks.
Retrieve: Given a new case, retrieve similar cases from the case base.

Reuse: Adapt the retrieved cases to fit to the new case.

Revise: Evaluate the solution and revise it based on how well it works.

Retain: Decide whether to retain this new case in the case base.

The process is shown in Fig.2

environment specifically designed to conduct experiments and evaluate the performance of a
system, algorithm, or model. In the context of energy optimization using AI, a testing machine
refers to the setup used to assess the effectiveness of AI-driven energy management systems.
The testing machine serves as a controlled environment where the proposed energy
optimization model can be implemented and its performance can be evaluated. It typically
involves the integration of hardware, software, and data to simulate real-world energy scenarios
and enable rigorous testing. The design of the testing machine may vary depending on the

4.3 Energy data

Energy data refers to information related to the consumption, production, distribution, and
utilization of energy. It encompasses a wide range of data points and variables that capture
various aspects of energy systems and usage patterns. Energy data is essential for understanding
energy consumption patterns, identifying opportunities for optimization, and making informed
decisions to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.
Energy data can be classified into several categories:

25
4.3.1 Consumption Data:
This includes data related to the amount of energy consumed by various entities, such as
buildings, industrial processes, or transportation systems. It typically includes information such
as energy usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh), energy demand profiles, and load patterns.
Consumption data can be collected from utility bills, smart meters, energy monitoring systems,
or IoT devices.

4.3.2 Generation Data:

This refers to data related to the production or generation of energy from different sources. It
includes information about renewable energy generation, such as solar power, wind energy, or
hydropower, as well as conventional energy sources like fossil fuels or nuclear power.
Generation data may include variables such as power output, capacity factors, and energy
production profiles.
4.3.3 Environmental Data:
This category of energy data includes information about environmental conditions that
influence energy consumption and production. It includes data on weather patterns,
temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind speed, or ambient air quality. Environmental data
helps understand the impact of external factors on energy usage and optimize energy systems
accordingly.
4.4 Energy Management
4.4.1 Temperature data:
is a fundamental parameter for weather forecasting and climate studies, It plays a critical role
in atmospheric processes, including the formation of clouds, precipitation, and the distribution
of heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Temperature data collected from weather stations and
satellites help scientists monitor and analyze climate patterns, track temperature changes over
time, and study the impact of climate change.

26
4.4.2 Humidity data:
Humidity plays a crucial role in weather patterns and precipitation. High humidity levels can
contribute to the formation of clouds, fog, and rain. The presence of moisture in the air affects
atmospheric stability and influences the formation and intensity of thunderstorms and other
weather systems.

27
4.4.3 energy consumption:
In the optimization of energy using AI, energy consumption plays a crucial role. AI techniques
can be employed to optimize energy consumption in various sectors, including buildings,
transportation, manufacturing, and power grids. By analyzing data and making intelligent
decisions, AI can help reduce energy waste, improve efficiency, and enhance sustainability.
Here are some key aspects of energy consumption in the optimization of energy using AI:
i. Data Collection: AI-driven energy optimization relies on collecting relevant data related
to energy consumption. This includes information on energy usage patterns, historical
data, real-time data from sensors or meters, weather data, and other relevant factors that
impact energy consumption. AI algorithms leverage this data to analyze and optimize
energy usage.
ii. Energy Demand Forecasting: AI techniques can be applied to forecast energy demand
accurately. By analyzing historical consumption data, weather patterns, and other
influencing factors, AI models can predict future energy demand with high accuracy.
This helps utilities and energy providers optimize energy production and distribution,
avoid under or overutilization of resources, and reduce costs.

28
4.4.4 Occupancy data:
plays a significant role in optimizing energy consumption using AI. By integrating occupancy
data into AI-driven energy management systems, organizations can make more informed
decisions to improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance occupant comfort. Here's
how occupancy data can contribute to optimizing energy consumption using AI:
i. Occupancy-Based Control: AI algorithms can analyze real-time occupancy data from
sensors, smart meters, or occupancy detection systems to adjust energy usage based on the
number of occupants present in a space. For example, lighting, heating, and cooling systems
can be dynamically adjusted to provide the right level of comfort and energy efficiency
based on the occupancy levels. AI models can learn occupancy patterns and predict future
occupancy to optimize energy consumption accordingly.
ii. Demand-Driven Energy Management: Occupancy data can inform demand-driven energy
management strategies. By understanding the occupancy patterns and associated energy
demands in different areas of a building or facility, AI algorithms can prioritize energy
allocation and distribution. This allows for targeted energy usage, ensuring that energy
resources are allocated efficiently to occupied spaces and reduced in unoccupied areas,
thereby optimizing overall energy consumption.
iii. Personalized Energy Settings: AI can leverage occupancy data to provide personalized
energy settings for individuals based on their presence or absence in specific spaces. For
instance, AI-powered systems can learn the preferences of occupants and automatically
adjust lighting, temperature, and other energy-consuming devices based on individual
occupancy patterns. This personalization promotes energy efficiency and occupant
satisfaction.

29
iv. Predictive Energy Optimization: AI algorithms can analyze historical occupancy data along
with other factors such as weather conditions and time of day.
