The next evolution of traditional energy systems towards smart grid will require end-consumers to actively participate and make informed decisions regarding their energy usage. Industry 4.0 facilitates such progress by allowing more advanced analytics and creating means for end-consumers and distributed grid assets to be modelled as their Digital twins (DT) equivalents, paving the way for asset-level analytics. Note-worthily, consumers’ comfort is crucial towards promotion of easy adoption of such models from consumers’ perspectives. This study presents the application of hybrid DT and multiagent reinforcement learning models for real-time estimation of end-consumers future energy behaviors while generating actionable recommendation feedback for improving their energy efficiency and enhancing end-user comfort.

With the development of autonomous vehicles and intelligent robots, visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has attracted great attentions. Most existing visual SLAM systems assume that the objects are stationary in static environments. However, in the real world, there are many objects that are non-stationary in dynamic environments, which will cause performance degradation of visual SLAM systems. In this paper, to address this issue, we propose a novel visual SLAM system based on multi-task deep neural networks. Specifically, we apply multi-task deep neural networks to extract oriented keypoints and perceive dynamic semantic regions, which are used to perform outlier rejection in the SLAM system. We evaluate our method on public datasets, and the results show that our method outperforms existing visual SLAM systems. The presentation video url is: https://***/qGE1OvaJvV0.

Recently, global photovoltaic (PV) system installations have surged. Precise forecasting is vital for their grid integration and carbon emission cuts. However, due to fluctuating solar radiation, predicting PV output is difficult. Machine learning models, notably Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, offer a solution. This study presents a novel framework using a boosted recursive Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM)-LSTM network to forecast daily PV output at hourly intervals. Conducted in Northern Europe—a region with significant solar radiation variability—the models trained on meteorological and historical data showed a 12% improvement in RMSE, a 13% reduction in MAPE, and a 5% increase in the R 2 score compared to standalone LSTM models.

Traditional power system is facing challenges demanding new operational requirements to meet targets of Net Zero Emissions by 2050. Aggregators are playing progressively important role in the demand response (DR) electricity market but are often riddled with deep level of market monopoly and lack of transparency/secrecy. Emerging real-time information technology (IT) applications and novel modelling of digital twins (DT) of individual electricity assets are challenging this position by promising improvements and openness that allows TSO direct access to available demand side flexibility. Additionally, DT technologies are facilitating how demand response services are delivered to end-users by allowing individual assets participation at the atomic level. In this study, the application potentials of assets’ DT in participating in the demand response electricity market was examined. Again, an overview of DT applications for DR was conducted. The novelty of this study is highlighted in development of new approach that facilitates individual end-user assets’ contribution to demand response efforts. The research identifies key useful questions that might serve as inspiration for stakeholders and policy-makers to further close existing gaps in the field of DT, smart-grid and demand response.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) enable many applications for photovoltaic (PV) equipped nano-grids. Stored excessive energy is utilized for energy arbitrage, demand response during blackouts, and peak shaving. This technology helped utility service providers deal with the duck-curve-effect and intermittency of renewable energy systems. In this paper, we investigate the benefits of using energy storage systems in PV nano-grids for residential sectors and evaluate the relationship between battery presence and system performance. We also analyze the effects of battery degradation on energy independence and self-sufficiency and investigate the relationship between simple payback time and state of health (SoH) levels of nano-grid components. Additionally, we propose a simple rule-based energy supervision strategy and evaluate its performance under various forecasting error levels, highlighting the importance of high-performance forecasting methods for proper energy management systems. Our contributions will help select and optimize PV-battery solutions and energy management algorithms to achieve the highest benefit and minimize investment risks.

Lung cancer impacts both genders, and its early detection is key to lowering death rates. Current deep learning techniques for automated identification and classification of lung carcinoma face issues with interpretability, data variability handling, and broader applicability. In our research, we propose a novel method that merges a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a streamlined RESNET18 framework. This approach is designed for lung cancer detection and categorization from CT scans, involving image preprocessing like resizing and rescaling. It effectively differentiates between healthy and cancerous tissues, further classifying them as either Normal, Benign, or Malignant, including variants such as adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Our CNN+RESNET18 model boasts an impressive 99% accuracy, supporting radiologists in the intricate task of image analysis, reducing risks of incorrect or delayed diagnosis, and fostering prompt treatment for improved patient outcomes.

Speech processing devices such as mobile telephone, hearing aid, cochlear implant is commonly equipped with a designed microphone array (MA) to capture the acoustic environment. The MA signals often contain a mixture of desired speech component and unwanted surrounding noise (a combination of reverberation, different interferences, complex recording environment, third-party speaker). Minimum Distortionless Variance Response (MVDR) beamformer is one the most useful methods for reducing background noise and improving speech enhancement has been recently studied. MVDR beamformer merges the predefined constraints of response from a priori relative transfer function and the criteria of minimum total output noise power. Because of the microphone mismatches, the different microphone sensitivities, or the error of the direction of arrival of the interest signal, the output final signal of MVDR beamformer often corrupted. In this paper, the authors proposed an additive gain function for reducing speech distortion and enhancing MVDR beamformer's performance.
