Abstract

The evolving landscape of power and energy systems demands innovative approaches to achieve sustainability, efficiency, and reliability. This review synthesizes recent research advances in integrated energy-water nexus optimization, energy sharing among smart buildings, non-intrusive load disaggregation using neural networks, and low-carbon dispatch strategies. Emphasizing quantum-classical robust optimization, mobile energy storage, attention-based load analysis, and adaptive dispatching, the article highlights the significant progress toward smarter, cleaner, and more resilient energy infrastructures. These methodologies enable better resource utilization, demand management, and decarbonization efforts, aligning with global sustainability goals.
