The special issue "Large Language Models for Sustainable Energy Systems: Technologies and Assessments" explores the transformative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT and other AI technologies in addressing challenges in sustainable energy systems. This collection aims to highlight cutting-edge applications, methodologies, and case studies demonstrating how LLMs are being used to optimize energy operations, improve resilience, and foster sustainable energy practices. Topics include energy forecasting, predictive maintenance, renewable energy integration, and policy assessments. Contributions will showcase how LLMs can bridge the gap between AI advancements and sustainable energy technologies, paving the way for innovative solutions to global energy challenges.
