This system, capable of bending up to 180°, demonstrates excellent mechanical flexibility, wearability, and energy performance, addressing key limitations in conventional EDLCs such as rigidity, bulkiness, and low energy density. The textile-based EDLC, fabricated using a gel polymer electrolyte (GPE), achieved a high specific capacitance of 2.89 mF cm<sup>−2</sup> (71.32 F kg<sup>−1</sup>), along with energy and power densities of 12.5 and 13.2 mW cm<sup>−2</sup>, respectively.

What distinguishes this work is the use of silver-coated textile as both a current collector and flexible substrate, offering biocompatibility, high conductivity, and excellent integration with garments. This material choice allows higher mass loading and enhanced charge storage without compromising comfort or flexibility. When integrated with a flexible solar PV, the system achieved an overall power conversion efficiency of 2.2% and demonstrated rapid charging capability, powering a simple electronic device for 30 min after just 5 s of sunlight exposure.

A building envelope of size 5 m (Length) × 4 m (Width) × 3.5 m (Height) integrated with a 25 mm thick Rubitherm phase change material layer on its walls and roof is considered for the analysis. The numerical model is developed using the Design-Builder software by considering the dissimilar Indian climatic zones (composite, hot-dry, and warm-humid) and buildings of the different Indian cities (Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Chennai). The goal is to reduce the peak temperature in the buildings of these cities. The maximum solar intensity for these cities is found between 11 AM to 1 PM for the hottest month, May/June of the year, which is very high (22 kW) in Delhi, followed by Chennai (20 kW), and then Ahmedabad (18 kW). The phase change material stores heat during the peak hours (daytime) and releases the same during the off-peak hours (nighttime) when integrated into the building envelopes. The results show that the building temperature was reduced by 4°C, 5.8°C, and 1.2°C for Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Chennai, respectively. The heat gain reduction from conventional buildings compared to the phase change material-integrated buildings of Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Chennai is 33.47, 35.59, and 26.14 kWh/m<sup>2</sup>, respectively. The thermal enhancement ratio, which captures the building performance with and without using phase change material, is calculated as 0.988, 0.982, and 0.996 for Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Chennai, respectively.

This research proposes a novel approach for a grid-connected residential photovoltaic (PV) system incorporated with a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) comprising a battery bank and a super capacitor (SC) pack. The novelty of this paper lies in the innovation of the Red Panda Optimization (RPO) and Efficient Predefined Time Adaptive Neural Network (EPTANN). Hence, the method is named RPO-EPTANN. The objective of the proposed method is to enhance stability, reduce voltage overshoot, improve efficiency, and reduce the system's entire cost. The converter's control signal is optimized using the proposed RPO, and the EPTANN predicts the converter's ideal control signal. By then, the proposed approach is put into practice from the MATLAB working platform, and the findings are calculated using the existing process. The proposed strategy outperforms all current approaches in terms of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Artificial Rabbits Optimization (ARO).
