Abstract

Ranging from monitoring in real-time to predictive maintenance and operational optimization, the increasing complexity of renewable energy systems requires sophisticated solutions. The article proposes a holistic solution that combines drones and IoT to improve installation efficiency and reduce incidents in wind, solar, and hydropower energy production. The study uses a hybrid approach that combines sensor analytics, drone-assisted infrastructure inspection, edge computing for latency minimization, and multivariate modeling to quantify the system's enhancement. Field trials involved three renewable power plants over the course of six months and included the acquisition of more than 10,000 data related to power plant operations. It was shown that integrating a thermal, an RGB, and a LiDAR sensor on a drone resulted in a significant increase in inspection efficiency, fault coverage, and spatial resolution. At the same time, deployed IoT sensors continuously monitor inverter temperature, vibration frequency, and energy output. Statistical regression models revealed highly significant relationships among the frequency of UAV inspection, IoT latency, and energy efficiency, and algorithmic modules, such as support vector machines, Kalman filters, and ant colony optimization, further improved fault diagnosis, data fusion, and pathfinding. The results validate the applicability of drones and IoT for enhancing system uptime, dependability, and predictability without introducing extra operational load. This work lays out a scalable, modular approach, feasible for deployment in smart grid scenarios, which enables sustainable, intelligent energy management.

Abstract

Static energy control systems are increasingly unable to meet the demands of modern built environments, where dynamic occupancy and fluctuating conditions lead to significant inefficiencies. This paper presents a context-aware system for proactive energy management that integrates real-time data acquisition, machine learning-based forecasting, and autonomous control. A multi-tiered architecture was developed and deployed across diverse settings residential, commercial, and industrial—to gather contextual data on temperature, occupancy, lighting, and equipment usage. The system uses predictive forecasting to anticipate short-term energy needs and reinforcement learning to optimize control strategies, ensuring both energy savings and user comfort. Results from the deployment demonstrate significant power reduction, high system responsiveness, and strong user satisfaction. Application-specific benchmarks revealed major efficiency gains in HVAC, lighting, and industrial machinery, while scalability tests confirmed stable performance under increasing sensor loads. This research validates the effectiveness of combining contextual intelligence with adaptive control to create sustainable, responsive, and human-centered energy systems. We provide a practical, modular framework for intelligent energy infrastructure in smart buildings and industrial parks. Future work will focus on enhancing model interpretability, integrating economic incentives, and exploring federated learning for distributed intelligence in support of energy efficiency.
