Fuzzy probability-constrained programming was used to model the uncertainty of renewable energy output, and a modified gravitational search algorithm (MGSA) was employed for optimization. Two different approaches to energy demand response were studied: one using electric boilers with a fixed thermoelectric power ratio, and another employing a flexible system for cooling, heating, and power that could adjust as needed. The implementation of the load response program resulted in a 0.75 % increase in the electrical peak-valley difference and a 0.51 % increase in the thermal peak-valley difference, indicating slight shifts in demand distribution. Additionally, valley values decreased by 0.37 % for electrical loads and by 2.71 % for thermal loads, suggesting modest improvements in off-peak load utilization.

This study presents a nonlinear energy consumption model tailored for UAVs, built upon exponential scaling and multiplicative calculus to reflect the interdependencies among payload weight, wind speed, altitude, velocity and communication power. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on linear or polynomial formulations, the proposed method incorporates energy demands from integrated systems, focusing on energy consumption. The proposed multiplicative model provides valuable insights into the energy trade-offs influenced by changing environmental and operational conditions. It improves the practicality of using UAVs for real-time aid delivery, resource allocation, and communication in challenging, resource-constrained environments, offering better accuracy than traditional energy consumption models. Validation using experimental datasets demonstrates that the proposed model achieves an 85 % improvement in accuracy compared to the recently established cubic polynomial model for predicting energy consumption. The effectiveness of the proposed multiplicative model was evaluated using Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) as performance metrics. The basic polynomial model recorded an MSE of 57.4269, while the parametric polynomial model significantly improved this to 5.7794. In comparison, the multiplicative model demonstrated superior accuracy, achieving a markedly lower MSE of 0.8472. Consistently, the multiplicative model also outperformed the others in terms of RMSE, attaining the lowest value of 0.9205, thereby confirming its robustness and predictive reliability. The Mean Absolute Error (MAE) was reduced from 6.44 to 0.73, representing an 88.66 % improvement. Furthermore, the R² value increased from 0.95 to 0.99, indicating a stronger fit between the predicted and actual data. These results underscore the multiplicative model's robustness, accuracy, and reliability, demonstrating its strong potential for real-world predictive applications.

To address these limitations, advanced energy storage systems, comprising fixed and mobile electric energy storage systems, have been adopted. Among them, mobile EV energy storage, particularly in the context of e-shared mobility, offers a flexible and scalable solution for load frequency control in modern EIP-MGs. This study presents a novel framework for sustainable transient frequency management using a fractional-order computing-based hybrid cascade controller, TFOID–3DOF–TID (Tilted Fractional-Order Integral and Derivative with Three Degrees of Freedom), optimized via the Crested Porcupine Optimizer (CPO). The proposed control scheme is validated through six case studies under three industrial load disturbance scenarios, with emphasis on transient stability and real-world uncertainties. The evaluations are structured around frequency-domain design criteria based on integral error metrics, including squared and absolute formulationsaimed at analyzing efficiency, sensitivity, adaptability, robustness, stability, and computational burden. The proposed control scheme, featuring the TFOID and 3DOF-TID controllers, is evaluated in comparison with validated metaheuristic-based algorithms. Simulation results demonstrate that the CPO-based TFOID–3DOF–TID controller consistently outperforms other schemes, with improvements including a 22 %–48 % reduction in settling time, a 25 %–55 % decrease in undershoot, and a 30 %–60 % reduction in overshoot across varying scenarios. Additionally, Bode plot evaluations confirm superior phase margins and damping characteristics, while robustness margins improve by up to 60 %, affirming the controller’s resilience under non-ideal operational conditions.
