For reliable and safe battery operations, accurate and robust State of Charge (SOC) and model parameters estimation is vital. However, the nonlinear dependency of the model parameters on battery states makes the problem challenging. We propose a Moving-Horizon Estimation (MHE)-based robust approach for joint state and parameters estimation. Dut to all the time scales involved in the model dynamics, a multi-rate MHE is designed to improve the estimation performance. Moreover, a parallelized structure for the observer is exploited to reduce the computational burden, combining both multi-rate and a reduced-order MHEs. Results show that the battery SOC and parameters can be effectively estimated. The proposed MHE observers are verified on a Simulink-based battery equivalent circuit model.

In the rapidly evolving domains of AI and Internet tech, face recognition, a key machine learning application, is increasingly used in security, identity verification, and public monitoring. As this technology progresses, its applications are expanding. A critical factor in its growing popularity is the advancement of the underlying algorithms, which drives its effectiveness in various applications. This paper investigates facial recognition technologies using the Olivetti faces dataset. It compares the efficacy of Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Eigenface method, Support Vector Machine (SVM) with linear kernel, a standard Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and a CNN-Transfer Learning approach with MobileNet. The transfer learning is trained with the Adam optimizer (learning rate 0.0004) and categorical cross entropy loss. Over 100 epochs with a batch size of 64, the model's performance, in terms of accuracy and loss, is meticulously tracked and visualized, providing insights into its learning progression. The final evaluation includes a detailed classification report, highlighting precision, recall, and F1-scores, and these metrics are graphically represented for a comprehensive understanding of the model's performance. The CNN model achieved 80% accuracy, while PCA and SVM exhibited high accuracies, reaching 91% and 97.5%, respectively. We have also applied the eigenface method and achieved 91% accuracy in face recognition. Notably, the CNN-Transfer Learning method demonstrates superior performance with a 95% accuracy, highlighting the potential of deep learning in facial recognition applications.

The advent of Programmable Wireless Environments (PWEs) has transformed the wireless propagation phenomenon into a software-defined resource, leveraging Software-defined metasurfaces (SDMs). These new technologies have shown that wireless waves can be routed within a space, contrary to the regular, chaotic wireless propagation, yielding considerable benefits to communication efficiency, and even completely new applications. A new topic has risen, in the context of modeling these capabilities as network resources, and allocating them to users. In this context, the present paper contributes HERA, a heuristic resource allocator that receives a setup with users and SDMs as input, and produces the necessary configuration of the latter, for efficient shared performance. Simulation results demonstrate considerable efficiency in this task, while the heuristic nature of HERA sets the basis for a flexible definition of complex user objectives in the future.

Multi-robot coordination aims to synchronize robots for optimized, collision-free paths in shared environments, addressing task allocation, collision avoidance, and path planning challenges. The Time Enhanced A* (TEA*) algorithm addresses multi-robot pathfinding offering a centralized and sequential approach. However, its sequential nature can lead to order-dependent variability in solutions. This study enhances TEA* through multi-threading, using thread pooling and parallelization techniques via OpenMP, and a sensitivity analysis enabling parallel exploration of robot-solving orders to improve robustness and the likelihood of finding efficient, feasible paths in complex environments. The results show that this approach improved coordination efficiency, reducing replanning needs and simulation time. Additionally, the sensitivity analysis assesses TEA*'s scalability across various graph sizes and number of robots, providing insights into how these factors influence the efficiency and performance of the algorithm.

The HVAC system, energy storage building, distributed power supply, and other equipment are integrated into the scheduling algorithm, which is aimed at reducing household electricity consumption. It is also assumed that users can provide energy to the grid according to their own conditions. Taking electricity cost and comfort level as optimization targets, a home energy optimization control model for the coordinated management of hybrid energy sources is built. A smart scheduling mechanism based on the improved adaptive particle swarm optimization approach is proposed in order to derive the best time intervals for electric appliances, necessary power for the control of the room temperature for every time frame, and power for charging and discharging of the storage battery at various moments. Simulation results show that through the incorporation of distributed photovoltaic power generation, backup storage by battery, and home energy optimization control, the system efficiently balances between user comfort and electricity consumption. This offers great technical support to the development of home energy management systems. By using time-of-use electricity price for energy acquisition and supply, the optimization control goal is minimizing both power use and cost as well as preserving comfort levels. The hybrid energy management's proposed home energy optimization control model uses an adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm to find the optimal operation schedules of the electrical appliances, the required power for temperature control in a room, and the charge/discharge power level of the storage battery at each time interval. As per the optimization principle, the proposed dynamic programming algorithm converts the multi-stage problem into a sequence of single-stage problems and solves them separately. This method successfully resolves intricate problems that cannot be addressed through greedy algorithms or divide-and-conquer. In this research, management ac

Solar energy will contribute to global economic growth, increasing worldwide photovoltaic (PV) solar energy production. More recently, one of the outstanding energy achievements of the last decade has been the development of floating photovoltaic panels. These panels differ from conventional (ter-restrial) panels because they occupy space in a more environmen-tally friendly way, i.e., aquatic areas. In contrast, land areas are saved for other applications, such as construction or agriculture. Developing autonomous inspection systems using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV s) represents a significant step forward in solar PV technology. Given the frequently remote and difficult-to-access locations, traditional inspection methods are no longer practical or suitable. Responding to these challenges, an in-novative inspection framework was developed to autonomously inspect photovoltaic plants (offshore) with a Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) UAV. This work explores two different methods of autonomous aerial inspection, each adapted to specific scenarios, thus increasing the adaptability of the inspection process. During the flight, the aerial images are evaluated in real-time for the autonomous detection of the photovoltaic modules and the detection of possible faults. This mechanism is crucial for making decisions and taking immediate corrective action. An offshore simulation environment was developed to validate the implemented system.
