This study explores the integration and optimization of battery energy storage systems (BESSs) and hydrogen energy storage systems (HESSs) within an energy management system (EMS), using Kangwon National University’s Samcheok campus as a case study. This research focuses on designing BESSs and HESSs with specific technical specifications, such as energy capacities and power ratings, and their integration into the EMS. By employing MATLAB-based simulations, this study analyzes energy dynamics, grid interactions, and load management strategies under various operational scenarios. Real-time data from the campus are utilized to examine energy consumption, renewable energy generation, grid power fluctuations, and pricing dynamics, providing key insights for system optimization. This study finds that a BESS manages energy fluctuations between 0.5 kWh and 3.7 kWh over a 24 h period, with battery power remaining close to 4 W for extended periods. Grid power fluctuates between −5 kW and 75 kW, while grid prices range from 75 to 120 USD/kWh, peaking at 111 USD/kWh. Hydrogen energy storage varies from 1 kWh to 8 kWh, with hydrogen power ranging from −40 kW to 40 kW. Load management keeps power stable at around 35 kW, and PV power integration peaks at 48 kW by the 10th h. The findings highlight that BESSs and HESSs effectively manage energy distribution and storage, improving system efficiency, reducing energy costs by approximately 15%, and enhancing grid stability by 20%. This study underscores the potential of BESSs and HESSs in stabilizing grid operations and integrating renewable energy. Future directions include advancements in storage technologies, enhanced EMS capabilities through artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the development of smart grid infrastructures. Policy recommendations stress the importance of regulatory support and stakeholder collaboration to drive innovation and scale deployment, ensuring a sustainable energy future.
The management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is generally not only focused on pharmacological therapy. Medical nutrition therapy is often forgotten by patients for several reasons, such as difficulty determining the right nutritional pattern for themselves, regulating their daily nutritional patterns, or even not heeding nutritional diet recommendations given by doctors. Management of nutritional therapy is one of the important efforts that can be made by diabetic patients to prevent an increase in the complexity of the disease. Setting a diet with proper nutrition will help patients manage a healthy diet. The development of Smart Plate Health to Eat is a technological innovation that helps patients and users know the type of food, weight, and nutrients contained in certain foods. This study involved 50 types of food with a total of 30,800 foods using the YOLOv5s algorithm, where the identification, measurement of weight, and nutrition of food were investigated using a Chenbo load cell weight sensor (1 kg), an HX711 weight weighing A/D module pressure sensor, and an IMX219-160 camera module (waveshare). The results of this study showed good identification accuracy in the analysis of four types of food: rice (58%), braised quail eggs in soy sauce (60%), spicy beef soup (62%), and dried radish (31%), with accuracy for weight and nutrition (100%).
This research aims to optimize the solar–hydrogen energy system at Kangwon National University’s Samcheok campus by leveraging the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning. The primary objective is to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the renewable energy system through predictive modeling and advanced fault detection techniques. Key elements of the methodology include data collection from solar energy production and fault detection systems, energy potential analysis using Transformer models, and fault identification in solar panels using CNN and ResNet-50 architectures. The Transformer model was evaluated using metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and an additional variation of MAE (MAE2). Known for its ability to detect intricate time series patterns, the Transformer model exhibited solid predictive performance, with the MAE and MAE2 results reflecting consistent average errors, while the MSE pointed to areas with larger deviations requiring improvement. In fault detection, the ResNet-50 model outperformed VGG-16, achieving 85% accuracy and a 42% loss, as opposed to VGG-16’s 80% accuracy and 78% loss. This indicates that ResNet-50 is more adept at detecting and classifying complex faults in solar panels, although further refinement is needed to reduce error rates. This study demonstrates the potential for AI and IoT integration in renewable energy systems, particularly within academic institutions, to improve energy management and system reliability. Results suggest that the ResNet-50 model enhances fault detection accuracy, while the Transformer model provides valuable insights for strategic energy output forecasting. Future research could focus on incorporating real-time environmental data to improve prediction accuracy and developing automated AIoT-based monitoring systems to reduce the need for human intervention. This study provides critical insights into advancing the efficiency and sustainability of solar–hydrogen systems, supporting the growth of AI-driven renewable energy solutions in university settings.
