Embodied Intelligence for Micro‐Integrated Energy Systems: Key Technologies and Applications

Abstract

ABSTRACT Micro‐integrated energy systems, as a small‐scale, distributed energy supply system that integrates multiple energy technologies, is one of the most promising application directions for artificial intelligence. Similar to robots, micro‐integrated energy systems have strong sensing, decision‐making and control capabilities through their large number of installed sensing units, energy management units and control devices, which are sufficient to constitute an atypical broad‐sense embodied intelligent system in terms of hardware and software resources. The present paper proposes a systematic framework of embodied intelligence for micro‐integrated energy systems, which is discussed in the context of its potential applications in embodied sensing, decision‐making and execution within micro‐integrated energy systems. The paper then proceeds to analyse the inspiration of embodied intelligence in the design of typical tasks, include monitoring and energy‐saving optimisation, emergency fault handling and load shifting, and self‐construction and self‐maintenance, providing references for the construction of the next‐generation intelligent micro‐integrated energy system for use in ocean exploration, deep space exploration, polar research and other missions.
