Predictive models for short-term load forecasting in the UK's electrical grid.

There are global efforts to deploy Electric Vehicles (EVs) because of the role they promise to play in energy transition. These efforts underscore the e-mobility paradigm, representing an interplay between renewable energy resources, smart technologies, and networked transportation. However, there are concerns that these initiatives could burden the electricity grid due to increased demand.

TUBER: Time-aware UAV-based energy-efficient reconfigurable routing scheme for smart wireless livestock sensor network.

This paper is a follow-up to a recent work by the authors on recoverable UAV-based energy-efficient reconfigurable routing (RUBER) scheme for addressing sensor node and route failure issues in smart wireless livestock sensor networks. Time complexity and processing cost issues connected to the RUBER scheme are consequently treated in this article by proffering a time-aware UAV-based energy-efficient reconfigurable routing (TUBER) scheme. TUBER scheme employs a synchronized clustering-with-backup strategy, a minimum-hop neighborhood recovery mechanism, and a redundancy minimization technique.

A hybrid smell agent symbiosis organism search algorithm for optimal control of microgrid operations.

This paper presents a hybrid Smell Agent Symbiosis Organism Search Algorithm (SASOS) for optimal control of autonomous microgrids. In microgrid operation, a single optimization algorithm often lacks the required balance between accuracy and speed to control power system parameters such as frequency and voltage effectively. The hybrid algorithm reduces the imbalance between exploitation and exploration and increases the effectiveness of control optimization in microgrids.

UBER: UAV-Based Energy-Efficient Reconfigurable Routing Scheme for Smart Wireless Livestock Sensor Network.

This paper addresses coverage loss and rapid energy depletion issues for wireless livestock sensor networks by proposing a UAV-based energy-efficient reconfigurable routing (UBER) scheme for smart wireless livestock sensor networking applications. This routing scheme relies on a dynamic residual energy thresholding strategy, robust cluster-to-UAV link formation, and UAV-assisted network coverage and recovery mechanism. The performance of UBER was evaluated using low, normal and high UAV altitude scenarios.

Motion-Encoded Electric Charged Particles Optimization for Moving Target Search Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.

In this paper, a new optimization algorithm called motion-encoded electric charged particles optimization (ECPO-ME) is developed to find moving targets using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The algorithm is based on the combination of the ECPO (i.e.
