Plants sense their environment by producing electrical signals which in essence represent changes in underlying physiological processes. These electrical signals, when monitored, show both stochastic and deterministic dynamics. In this paper, we compute 11 statistical features from the rawnon-stationary plant electrical signal time series to classify the stimulus applied (causing the electrical signal). By using different discriminant analysis-based classification techniques, we successfully establish that there is enough information in the raw electrical signal to classify the stimuli. In the process, we also propose two standard features which consistently give good classification results for three types of stimuli-sodium chloride (NaCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and ozone (O-3). This may facilitate reduction in the complexity involved in computing all the features for online classification of similar external stimuli in future.

Summary: This article presents a simple and transparent non-parametric trend evaluation method called "Paired Year Ratio Assessment (PYRA)" for evaluating population trends in acoustic monitoring data for cetacean conservation. The study compares the performance of PYRA with traditional generalized additive models (GAMS) and nonparametric randomization tests, concluding that PYRA is a powerful tool for identifying population trends.

Stabilizing region in dominant pole placement based discrete time PID control of delayed lead processes using random sampling

Saptarshi Das, Kaushik Halder

Summary: This paper proposes a new concept for designing PID controllers using dominant pole placement method and a derivative filter. By mapping the design onto the discrete time domain with a suitable sampling time, the continuous time delays can be converted into discrete time poles. The continuous-time plant and the filtered PID controller are discretized using the pole-zero matching method. Global optimization method is used to discover the stabilizable region and meet the pole placement conditions. Simulation results on test-bench plants demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed control design method.

Dual-Layer Q-Learning Strategy for Energy Management of Battery Storage in Grid-Connected Microgrids

Khawaja Haider Ali, Mohammad Abusara, Asif Ali Tahir, Saptarshi Das

Summary: Real-time energy management in grid-connected microgrids is challenging due to intermittent renewable energy sources, load variations, and variable grid tariffs. This paper proposes a novel dual-layer Q-learning strategy, where the first layer produces directive commands offline using forecasted data, and the second layer refines these commands every 15 minutes by considering real-time changes in the RES and load demand.

Real-Time Economic Dispatch of CHP Systems with Battery Energy Storage for Behind-the-Meter Applications

Marvin B. Sigalo, Saptarshi Das, Ajit C. Pillai, Mohammad Abusara

Summary: The use of combined heat and power (CHP) systems has increased recently due to their high efficiency and low emissions. However, using CHP systems in off-grid applications can introduce challenges such as the need for load-following operation and the potential for lower efficiency and emissions during low loads. This paper proposes a real-time Energy Management System (EMS) using a combination of LSTM neural networks, MILP, and RH control strategy to optimize the dispatch of CHP and battery energy storage system (BESS). Simulation results show that the proposed method can prevent power export to the grid and reduce operational cost compared to offline methods.

Multiclass classification of environmental chemical stimuli from unbalanced plant electrophysiological data

Nivedita Bhadra, Shre Kumar Chatterjee, Saptarshi Das

Summary: In this paper, a statistical analysis pipeline is proposed to deal with a multiclass environmental stimuli classification problem using imbalanced plant electrophysiological data. Fifteen statistical features extracted from the plant electrical signals are used to classify three different environmental chemical stimuli and the performance of eight different classification algorithms is compared. The findings have potential real-world applications in precision agriculture for exploring multiclass classification problems with highly imbalanced datasets and advance existing studies on environmental pollution level monitoring using plant electrophysiological data.
