Reduction of active power losses in distribution networks is an important issue, which is usually addressed through a separate, sequential, or simultaneous feeder reconfiguration (FR), volt-var regulation (e.g., capacitor placement, CP), and control of distributed energy resources (DERs). However, finding optimal solution for a coordinated FR, CP, and DER control requires significant computational efforts, which are additionally increased when variations in loading conditions are considered. Therefore, load variations are usually neglected in related analysis, although changes in power flows influence changes in network losses and, consequently, optimal controls for FR, CP and DERs. This paper presents the analysis of both benefits and disadvantages of including not only the peak demands, but also different loading conditions for a coordinated implementation of FR, CP and DER controls for the reduction of losses. The analysis is illustrated on the several distribution test networks and using representative load patterns from the existing literature. The obtained results suggest that the inclusion of load variations requires significantly longer computational times, but in some cases affects optimal solutions for FR, CP and DER controls (their numbers, locations and settings).

Among the main causes of road accidents, one of the most significant is related to driver distraction while driving, which is responsible for 18% of car accidents worldwide. This situation has demanded the development of mechanisms to automatically detect this dangerous behavior while driving. One of the computational solutions that has been considered viable to detect situations like this is the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), but some complex issues arise when deploying CNN models in microcontroller-based embedded devices with constrained processing and memory capabilities. In this context, this paper proposes a driver distraction detection system that achieves high accuracy (99.3%) and low latency (72ms) while requiring minimal computational resources (Peak- RAM of 164 KB and Flash of 52.7 KB). This solution exploiting Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) algorithms was developed with the support of the Edge Impulse platform, used to perform the entire ML pipeline, from data pre-processing and ML model creation to deployment into an Arduino Portenta H7 board. By designing a driver assistance system that can be integrated into vehicles, it is expected that an affordable solution based on embedded machine learning is provided, tackling a real-world problem by potentially reducing accidents caused by driver distractions.

Regular inspection of photovoltaic panels plays a key role in maximizing performance, ensuring safety, and extending the life of solar plants. This paper presents the construction of a 6W 365 nm ultraviolet light source for ultraviolet fluorescence (UVF) inspections coupled with an edge device used to capture and process the fluorescence images. In addition, an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm was applied to identify and classify automatically healthy and defective cells in the captured images. The trained AI presents a precision of 89%, and this result shows that the development of an ultraviolet light source coupled with an edge device for automatic cell classification could help with the maintenance staff to make routine UVF inspections to identify possible defects in cell structure, which is the main contribution of the presented work.
