This demo introduces prompt design as a research approach to studying visual generative AI, distinguishing it from prompt engineering practices that focus on producing aesthetically pleasing or technically polished outputs. Drawing on the query design framework from digital methods, we outline several …

orecasting the thermal behavior of ?exible heating assets is essential for real-time energy management in heating systems. While thermal dynamics are complex, the optimization algorithms within EMS require low-order models with minimal computational load to make rapid, real-time decisions. To bridge …

The increasing penetration of renewable energy (RE) and hydrogen technologies is reshaping the operational requirements of modern decarbonised energy systems, necessitating advanced control strategies to coordinate renewable generation, hydrogen storage, and heterogeneous end‐use demands. This paper …
