The IEEE Xplore Innovation Spotlight features articles on cutting-edge topics handpicked from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library of more than 7 million technical documents.
The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in areas related to sustainability is having a positive impact on the management of the world’s resources. From agriculture and energy to waste management and biodiversity conservation, AI is playing a key role in identifying ways to increase the efficiency of new programs.
The inherent irony of using non-renewable energy sources such as oil, gas and coal to power Electric Vehicles (EVs) is not lost on two engineers from India. They explore a charging station method that captures and stores solar and wind energy to charge an EV and test the method in seven cases of differing weather conditions.
Floating wind farms have the potential to significantly increase the sea area available for offshore wind farms, especially in countries with limited shallow waters. Locating wind farms further offshore can also reduce visual pollution, provide better accommodation for fishing and shipping lanes, and reach stronger and more consistent winds.
