Division of Multi-harmonic Responsibilities Based on DBSCAN Clustering and Interval Regression by Shilong CHEN, Tao WU, Cheng GUO, Zirui ZHANG, Jinghao SUN

“…The harmonic monitoring data of an actual power grid is used to verify the proposed method, and it is proved that the proposed method can use the existing statistical harmonic monitoring data to allocate the harmonic responsibility of each harmonic source in a reasonable time scale under background harmonic changes, which can provide new ideas for the division of responsibility for multiple harmonics during the operation of the actual power system.…”

Smart Electric Vehicle Charging Management Using Reinforcement Learning on FPGA Platforms by Udhaya Mugil Damodarin, Gian Carlo Cardarilli, Luca Di Nunzio, Marco Re, Sergio Spanò

“…The FPGA implementation leverages hardware design strategies to ensure efficient operation and real-time response within a limited amount of required energy, allowing for its implementation in embedded applications and possibly enabling the use of an energy harvesting power source, like a small solar panel. The proposed design effectively manages multiple EV chargers by dynamically allocating current and prioritizing charging tasks to maintain service quality. …”
