| Abstrak | : | Ensuring reliable and affordable access to modern energy services, especially for the poorer and deprived section of the population, is a basic requisite for sustainable development. Given that a majority of the energy-deprived population lives in rural regions of developing countries, an effective rural electrification is critical for bridging the rural-urban divide. Building on energy access intervention, implementing productive energy services can influence the next stages of development through livelihood activities, microenterprises, lifestyle energy services, value-added activities, survival irrigation, and so on. Social benefits of access to healthcare, education, and longer productive hours have an equally important impact on sustainable development. In India, for example, 240 million people lack electricity access. While grid extension in India is on the rise through various government programs, specific rural problems of low energy demand, poor rural economy, inaccessible terrain, and low purchasing power can render grid extension expensive and inefficient. Microgrid electricity systems, especially with hybrid renewable energy resources, can be a good alternative for addressing above-mentioned challenges. India enjoys high solar intensity, and the predominantly agrarian rural society has enough biomass resources, abundant cattle dung, forest foliage, and agricultural waste. A solar-biomass hybrid electricity system can solve the problem of intermittency of solar. Such a hybrid electricity system is being implemented in a remote Indian unelectrified village for electricity access, livelihoods, and economic empowerment. In this paper, we report the technoeconomic feasibility and sustainability analysis of this hybrid system. The system consists of 30-kW solar photo voltaic (PV) and 20-kW biomass gasifier modules. Energy demand and resource availability are estimated with inputs from extensive stakeholder discussions and field surveys, and they account for da... |

| Abstrak | : | The advancement of digital coherent technologies has dramatically increased the system capacity per single-core single-mode fiber to the point that we can now approach the Shannon limit by utilizing high-order modulation formats and high-coding gain forward error correction (FEC) codes. Because the required energy per bit increases exponentially the closer we get to the Shannon limit, extending the available optical bandwidth by using ultrawideband wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and/or spatial-division multiplexing (SDM) is indispensable for increasing the system capacity with high energy efficiency. However, simple extensions of wavelength resources and spatial parallelization dramatically increase the number of transceivers (TxRxs) in proportion to the wavelength/spatial multiplicity. The key to achieving cost- and energy-efficient systems is to reduce the system complexity by using high-density integration and broadband optelectronics. In this article, we overview and discuss the recent advances of coherent optical transceivers integrated with an optical front end and digital signal processing (DSP)/application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). We then present the transponder architectures and the challenges involved in applying them for massive parallelized transmission systems. |

| Abstrak | : | Due to widespread applications and rapid development of cloud computing and Internet services, hyperscale data centers have experienced an unprecedented demand for networking. Data center networks are required not only to handle fast-growing traffic, which doubles almost every one to two years, but also to provide high flexibility and availability to support rapidly changing businesses as well. Therefore, hyperscale data center networks have become one of the main drivers for optical interconnect technologies in recent years. In this article, technologies for scaling optical interconnects for inter-data center interconnects (DCIs) are presented. We first describe hyperscale data center network architectures and requirements, as well as the differences between carrier’s optical transport networks and DCI optical networks, with the main focus on metro-DCI and campus-DCI networks. The scale and fast growth rates of DCI networks require innovations not only in data plane technologies but also in control and management planes as well. In data planes, high-capacity flexible coherent technology, pluggable wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) optical transponders, including 100G direct-detection four-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM4) and coherent 400ZR/800ZR, and flex-grid and disaggregated reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) optical networks are described. Control and management planes are an integral part of optical transport networks and crucial for effectively operating DCI networks. We show that standard protocols, data models, and modular design of a software platform are essential to building a scalable open and disaggregated optical network, which is fundamental to enabling high automation and intelligence in an optical network. An example control and management platform is discussed in detail. With current fiber capacity approaching the nonlinear Shannon limit, challenges to further scale DCI networks and some potential technologies to support ever-increasing traffic growth are discussed at the end. |

| Abstrak | : | In order to overcome the capacity limitations of current lightwave systems based on the single-mode optical fiber, massively parallel transmission in the spatial domain [space-division multiplexing (SDM)] supported by extended parallelism in the frequency domain (ultrawideband (UWB) systems) must be used. This article reviews key aspects of parallel transmission systems as the only significant capacity scaling option going forward and discusses the various tradeoffs on an architectural level and a hardware integration level. In doing so, this article also serves as an introduction to the more detailed accounts of fiber-optic systems and their future scaling within this Special Issue of the Proceedings of the IEEE. |

| Abstrak | : | With the fast development of remote sensing platforms and sensors technology, change detection with heterogeneous remote sensing images (Hete-CD) has become an attractive topic in recent years and plays a vital role in land cover change detection for responding to natural disaster emergencies when homogeneous images are unavailable. Although Hete-CD has been developed for about three decades, and various related methods have been developed and applied successfully in practice, a systematic and comprehensive review of the current achievements regarding Hete-CD remains lacking. Therefore, in this article, we first present an overview of Hete-CD in terms of the related literature. Second, the major techniques of Hete-CD are reviewed in terms of publicly available datasets, the taxonomy of major techniques, results, performance, and quantitative evaluation. Then, some classical methods are selected for comparison and discussion. Finally, based on the discussion and literature review, challenges, opportunities, and future directions for Hete-CD are concluded. The review aims to provide a “one-stop-shop” understanding of the problems with the categories of existing approaches, open opportunities and challenges, and potential future directions for Hete-CD. |

| Abstrak | : | In the transition to a society with net-zero carbon emissions, high penetration of distributed renewable power generation and large-scale electrification of transportation and heat are driving the conventional distribution network operators (DNOs) to evolve into distribution system operators (DSOs) that manage distribution networks in a more active and flexible way. As a radical decentralized data management technology, distributed ledger technology (DLT) has the potential to support a trustworthy digital infrastructure facilitating the DNO–DSO transition. Based on a comprehensive review of worldwide research and practice, as well as the engagement of relevant industrial experts, the application of DLT in distribution networks is identified and analyzed in this article. The DLT features and DSO needs are first summarized, and the mapping relationship between them is identified. Detailed DSO functions are identified and classified into five categories (i.e., “planning,” “operation,” “market,” “asset,” and “connection”) with the potential of applying DLT to various DSO functions assessed. Finally, the development of seven key DSO functions with high DLT potential is analyzed and discussed from the technical, legal, and social perspectives, including peer-to-peer energy trading, flexibility market facilitation, electric vehicle charging, network pricing, distributed generation register, data access, and investment planning. |

| Abstrak | : | This article presents considerations toward an information and control architecture for future electric energy systems driven by massive changes resulting from the societal goals of decarbonization and electrification. This article describes the new requirements and challenges of an extended information and control architecture that needs to be addressed for continued reliable delivery of electricity. It identifies several new actionable information and control loops, along with their spatial and temporal scales of operation, which can together meet the needs of future grids and enable deep decarbonization of the electricity sector. The present architecture of electric power grids designed in a different era is thereby extensible to allow the incorporation of increased renewables and other emerging electric loads. |

| Abstrak | : | The tremendous complexity of modern distribution systems calls for alternative coordination architectures, supported by smart, self-adaptable, and, to a large degree, environment-agnostic algorithms. In this article, we discuss decentralized and distributed coordination architectures for the operation of active distribution grids aiming at effectively coping with their complexity. We present relevant methods and algorithms under the framework of multiagent systems (MASs) and decentralized decision-making associated with handling different parts of the optimal grid operation. The decision-making models are based on distributed optimization algorithms using consensus/gossip models, bioinspired algorithms from the field of population dynamics, and a method for decomposing the power-flow model. The developed techniques aim at matching production with demand in microgrids, settling the short-term energy imbalances at the distribution grid level, mitigating voltage deviations, and resolving distribution grid congestions in real-time operation. The algorithms are implemented as MAS-based software platforms, able to aggregate diverse DG units and flexible loads. Results are provided from the theoretical simulation-based models and demonstrations of the operational techniques in actual pilot sites. The applied implementations have been performed in a smart grid pilot site, for which MAS platforms have been developed and tested. |

| Abstrak | : | Integrated energy systems (IESs), in which various energy flows are interconnected and coordinated to release potential flexibility for more efficient and secure operation, have drawn increasing attention in recent years. In this article, an integrated energy management system (IEMS) that performs online analysis and optimization on coupling energy flows in an IES is comprehensively introduced. From the theory perspective, an energy circuit method (ECM) that models natural gas networks and heating networks in the frequency domain is discussed. This method extends the electric circuit modeling of power systems to IESs and enables the IEMS to manage large-scale IESs. From the implementation perspective, the architecture design and function development of the IEMS are presented. Tutorial examples with illustrative case studies are provided to demonstrate its functions of dynamic state estimation, energy flow analysis, security assessment and control, and optimal energy flow. From the application perspective, real-world engineering demonstrations that apply IEMSs in managing building-, park-, and city-scale IESs are reported. The economic and environmental benefits obtained in these demonstration projects indicate that the IEMS has broad application prospects for a low/zero-carbon future energy system. |

| Abstrak | : | Signal capture is at the forefront of perceiving and understanding the environment; thus, imaging plays a pivotal role in mobile vision. Recent unprecedented progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great potential in the development of advanced mobile platforms with new imaging devices. Traditional imaging systems based on the “capturing images first and processing afterward” mechanism cannot meet this explosive demand. On the other hand, computational imaging (CI) systems are designed to capture high-dimensional data in an encoded manner to provide more information for mobile vision systems. Thanks to AI, CI can now be used in real-life systems by integrating deep learning algorithms into the mobile vision platform to achieve a closed loop of intelligent acquisition, processing, and decision-making, thus leading to the next revolution of mobile vision. Starting from the history of mobile vision using digital cameras, this work first introduces the advancement of CI in diverse applications and then conducts a comprehensive review of current research topics combining CI and AI. Although new-generation mobile platforms, represented by smart mobile phones, have deeply integrated CI and AI for better image acquisition and processing, most mobile vision platforms, such as self-driving cars and drones only loosely connect CI and AI, and are calling for a closer integration. Motivated by this fact, at the end of this work, we propose some potential technologies and disciplines that aid the deep integration of CI and AI and shed light on new directions in the future generation of mobile vision platforms. |
