The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has left power network providers to deal with new challenges in terms of grid stability and electricity market design. On the latter direction, a demanding problem is represented by the development of probabilistic algorithms capable of computing optimal time-varying price profiles for EVs charging stations to induce a desired aggregative behavior. Here, the inclusion of demand elasticity represents a key feature to provide usable schemes for real-world cases. In this paper, we propose an "estimate-then-optimize" framework for optimal dynamic pricing computation in the presence of price-sensitive customers. It consists of an estimation step based on nonparametric kernel methods to infer about the demand elasticity, followed by an optimization step to maximize the expected daily profit. We describe the charging process via a probabilistic framework and we show the benefits of the proposed formulation via extensive numerical experiments.

The vast array of cloud providers present in today’s market proffer a suite of High-Performance Computing (HPC) services. However, these offerings are characterized by significant variations in execution times and cost structures. Consequently, selecting the optimal cloud provider and configuring the features of the chosen computing instance (e.g. virtual machines) proves to be a challenging task for users intending to execute HPC workloads. This paper introduces a novel component designed for effortless integration with existing HPC scheduling systems. This module’s primary function is to facilitate the selection of the most appropriate cloud provider for each distinct job, thereby empowering dynamic and adaptive cost-minimization strategies. Through the application of data augmentation techniques and the employment of Continuous Machine Learning, the system is endowed with the capability to operate efficiently with cloud providers that have not been previously utilized. Furthermore, it is capable of tracking the evolution of jobs over time. Our results show that this component can achieve consistent economic savings, based on the quality of the data used in the training phase.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are one of the applications of device-to-device (D2D) technology, where two UAVs can communicate with or without the existence of a base station. It facilitates high content delivery, low latency, low cost, and high data rate communication in wireless networks. Despite the aforementioned benefits, an eavesdropping attack is one of the critical challenges that cause interference in UAV communication in the presence of an eavesdropper. To mitigate the aforementioned challenges, we proposed a secure resource allocation for UAV communication in wireless networks. The applied single carrier orthogonal frequency division multiple access (SC-OFDMA) technique utilize the orthogonality feature to provide secure UAV communication in wireless networks. Moreover, a zero-sum game approach is considered to enable the secure and optimal resource allocation for UAV communication. The main aim of the zero-sum game theory is to maximize the communication channel's data rate and secrecy capacity to achieve a secure and optimal UAV communication scenario in wireless networks. Finally, the performance and simulation of the proposed approach are evaluated against the existing random approach in terms of various metrics such as data rate and secrecy capacity of the communication channel.

This work presents the study and development of a high-gain hybrid DC-DC converter with switched capacitor for photovoltaic energy applications. Qualitative analyzes and quantitative values of the converter are proposed. The proposed converter is based on the converter boost integrated into switched capacitive cells with the addition of a small inductor resonant. A mathematical modeling of the converter was developed to determine the value of the resonant inductance, where the converter was analyzed for inductance values of 1uH at 2uH. This proposal presented some advantages: such as extended static gain, reduction of voltage stress in semiconductors and reduction of current peaks in switches. A 200 W prototype was developed and its respective results are presented. Maximum efficiency obtained was 97.1% for a voltage gain of 10.

This paper introduces a novel approach for classifying with the 1D Convolutional Neural Network model for partial discharge patterns, that consists of corona discharge, surface discharge and internal discharge. The PD measuring circuit suggested in IEC 60270:2000 is used to record Partial discharge signals. Independent parameters such as phase and charge of PD patterns were recorded. The Artificial Neural Network for the classification model was constructed. Moreover, 2×1D CNN feature extraction was utilized to reduce the curse of dimensionality in the dense layer of the proposed PD classification model. 80% of the recorded data will be used as a training data and 20% recorded data was used for testing of the classification models. Impacts of neuron numbers and network architecture on the PD classification performance will be observed.

This paper presents an FPGA-based low-power acceleration of sound source localization in HARK, open-source software for robot audition. Due to the massive matrix operations, sound source localization in HARK takes substantial processing time in edge computing devices. To balance processing time and low power consumption, two functions in sound source localization that include many matrix operations are targeted and migrated on an FPGA SoC board called M-KUBOS. Compared to CPU-based computing on ARM Cortex A53, our implementation achieved a 2.0× speedup and 1.7× lower energy consumption.
