Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) are increasingly relevant for demand-side management at the residential level by collecting data (energy, weather, electricity prices) and controlling home appliances or storage systems. This control can be performed with classical models that find optimal solutions, with high real-time computational cost, or data-driven approaches, like Reinforcement Learning, that find good and flexible solutions, but depend on the availability of load and generation data and ...

Oscillating water columns (OWCs) are widely regarded as the simplest and most reliable type of wave energy converter. An economically viable OWC wave power plant requires maximizing the performance of the power take-off system, composed of an air turbine coupled to an electrical generator. Besides, the OWC power plant's inherent nonlinearities and modeling uncertainties must be dealt with. One solution is the use of fuzzy controllers since they capture both nonlinearities and uncertainties of the ...

Since most branches of the distribution grid may already be close to their maximum capacity, smart management when charging electric vehicles (EVs) is becoming more and more crucial. In fact, office buildings might not be able to handle several transactions at the same time, especially considering the next generation of fast chargers which are very power expensive. Thus, an efficient charging policy needs to be found. This paper proposes the scheduling of real-time EVs charging through deep reinforcement ...

Emergency department triage is the first point in time when a patient's acuity level is determined. The time to assign a priority at triage is short and it is vital to accurately stratify patients at this stage, since under-triage can lead to increased morbidity, mortality and costs.
