Automated Feature Engineering, AutoML, and Decision-Focused Learning for Improved Energy Consumption Forecasting

The thesis presents a domain‑specific automated feature engineering pipeline, AutoEnergy, for energy consumption forecasting. AutoEnergy generates interpretable features from timestamps and lagged consumption, integrates with AutoML, and achieves 19.52%–84.72% error reductions across eighteen real‑world datasets while running 1.31–4.41 times faster than baseline methods. When combined with Decision‑Focused Learning for battery storage, it cuts operating costs by 22.9%–56.5% on a UK property dataset.

Bridging AI and Energy Forecasting: An Autonomous Workflow with Customized Toolkit

arXiv:2307. 07191v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Energy forecasting is crucial for the power grid, but fundamentally different from general time series analysis: it highly relies on covariates like meteorological factors, and its goals must align with actual power grid operations, such as risk assessment and system reliability.

Large Models for Battery Prognostics and Health Management: A Review and Future Roadmap

The article reviews how Large Models (LMs) based on Transformer architectures and self‑supervised pre‑training can address longstanding challenges in Battery Prognostics and Health Management (BPHM). It surveys LM applications across data scarcity, generalization, interpretability, and system automation, and outlines a roadmap for future research, including collaborative data ecosystems, validation, trustworthiness, and efficient deployment. The review aims to guide researchers and practitioners in developing next‑generation battery management systems that are safe, reliable, and autonomous throughout battery lifecycles.
