Intelligence for energy and machines.
AIREM stands for Artificial Intelligence Research in Energy & Mechanics. We bring together researchers, engineers and industry leaders to apply AI and machine learning across energy and mechanical systems — from smart grids and storage to machines, structures and manufacturing.
Focus areas
Where AI meets power, heat and motion.
Our working groups tackle the technical challenges of energy and mechanical engineering — from power grids and storage to machines, structures and production lines.
Forecasting & Analytics
Probabilistic forecasting of load, solar and wind generation, and prices — built on deep learning and physics-informed models.
Energy Storage
Optimal dispatch, battery health prediction and lifecycle management for grid-scale and distributed storage assets.
Demand Response & Markets
Reinforcement learning and multi-agent systems for flexible demand, virtual power plants and efficient energy trading.
Predictive Maintenance
Condition monitoring and anomaly detection for turbines, transformers, PV plants and power electronics using sensor data.
Decarbonization
Data-driven planning, carbon accounting and optimization tools that accelerate the path to net-zero energy systems.
Design & Simulation
Machine learning surrogates for finite element and CFD models that cut simulation time for structures, thermal systems and fluid machinery.
Robotics & Control
Learning-based control for robots, drives and mechatronic systems — from motion planning to real-time control of machines.
Smart Manufacturing
Process optimization, quality inspection and digital twins for production lines, industrial equipment and rotating machinery.
AIREM platform
Simulincai — design, simulate, publish.
Simulincai is the workspace built with AIREM for engineers and researchers: a document-aware assistant, a real-physics simulator with 125 equipment blocks, machine-learning surrogates and an AI paper writer — nine tools that share one account, one project store and one paper.
- 01Cited
Document assistant
Ask your own standards, papers and reports — every answer is checked against the source it cites.
- 02Physics
Energy systems simulator
Rankine, Brayton, refrigeration and psychrometrics on a drag-and-drop canvas, with real physics behind each block.
- 03Machine learning
Surrogates & optimiser
Train ML models on the real solver, sweep parameters, and let an optimiser or RL agent find the best design.
- 04Publish
AI paper writer
Turn results into a manuscript with citations, equations and charts, exported to Word.
