Artificial intelligence may have the potential to deliver more efficient, reliable and sustainable energy systems, particularly by helping to manage the complexity of distributed generation and demand-side management. However, stakeholders expect interpretability and explainability, and AI tools must also be transparent, secure and trustworthy. Explainable AI (XAI) models are intended to make AI algorithms more transparent and understandable without reducing their performance and efficiency.
