Quantum Computing for Facilitating the Design and Operation of More Sustainable Power Systems: Achieving Superior Performance Beyond Classical Computing Through Quantum Properties

Yue Xu, Xutao Han, Zhen Xu +1 more

As the penetration of renewable energy sources soars, the design and operation of power systems will be significantly more complicated than the conventional ones. A renewable-dominated power system will inevitably encounter computational challenges due to the explosion in the number of decision variables. Quantum computing, in principle, can effectively circumvent the “curse of dimensionality” by virtue of its characteristics of parallel computation and state superposition. In that regard, this article considers quantum computing as a promising solution to handling certain complicated optimization problems in various aspects of a renewable-dominated power system. More specifically, this article explores how to utilize quantum computing to facilitate optimized decision making in design and operation toward a more sustainable energy future. Given the current hardware limitations of quantum computers, this article further proposes a quantum–classical hybrid computing framework along with a set of strategies to tap the maximum potential of quantum computing while boosting overall computational efficiency and accuracy.

Proposing and Developing Low-power Quantum Arithmetic Logic Units (QALUs) for Smart Grids and the Internet of Energy

Seyed‐Sajad Ahmadpour, Muhammad Zohaib, Hadi Rasmi +2 more

The advancement of modern power systems has produced smart grids by implementing intelligent control systems linked with digital communication technology to boost reliability and sustainability while improving operational efficiency. The Internet of Energy (IoE) represents an advanced version of smart grids that adopt real-time monitoring with decentralized energy management and dynamic power distribution to maximize energy efficiency. The development of the IoE encounters major obstacles because it handles problems involving power consumption, alongside calculation speed, network stability, the protection of information resources, and problems related to system performance management. The solution to these difficulties demands innovative technological methods for implementation. The authors present Quantum Arithmetic Logic Units (QALUs), which serve as a groundbreaking technology for optimizing performance and energy usage in smart grids, together with IoE systems. The combination of nanotechnology elements with quantum computing rules enables QALUs to operate with minimal power requirements alongside simultaneous processing features and error-resilient operations, which suits them for immediate energy supervision purposes. The QALU design proposal demonstrates the evaluation of power efficiency performance while showing operational accuracy levels and scalability capabilities for a future energy network revolution. The proposed ALU brings improvements in all areas, including power consumption, with a 99.29results. This paper marks a transformative advancement in the development of quantum-enhanced smart grids, which pave the way for enhanced, sustainable, and secure optimized energy systems.

Exploring the Role of Quantum Computing in Advancing Green Computing Technologies

Safaa Kadhum Hussaine, ‪Noor Aldeen‬‏

The rapid growth of data-intensive applications and cloud computing has significantly increased the energy consumption of modern computing infrastructures, particularly data centers, raising critical sustainability and environmental concerns. Green computing seeks to address these challenges by improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon footprints without sacrificing performance. Quantum computing has emerged as a promising paradigm due to its ability to exploit quantum mechanical principles such as superposition and entanglement to achieve computational speedups beyond classical limits. This paper examines the role of quantum computing in advancing green computing technologies by analyzing its algorithmic capabilities, application domains, and hardware-related energy implications. Key quantum algorithms, including Shor’s algorithm, Grover’s search, the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), and quantum simulation methods, are reviewed with respect to their potential to reduce execution time and energy consumption for computationally intensive tasks such as cryptography, optimization, and system modeling. The study further explores sustainability-oriented applications, including energy systems optimization, materials discovery for renewable technologies, and quantum machine learning for resource forecasting and management. Comparative analysis indicates that quantum approaches may offer substantial energy-efficiency advantages over classical methods as hardware matures. However, significant challenges remain, including qubit decoherence, error correction overhead, cryogenic cooling requirements, and scalability limitations. The paper concludes that continued advances in hybrid quantum–classical architectures and fault-tolerant hardware are essential for realizing quantum computing’s potential contribution to sustainable and energy-efficient computing.
