Thermostats in HVAC systems regulate indoor temperature as part of a closed-loop control framework, typically incorporating a fixed temperature dead band–a range around the setpoint where no action is taken–to reduce energy use and prevent frequent cycling of the HVAC system. Although essential for efficiency and equipment longevity, fixed dead bands limit adaptability, as dynamically adjusting them under varying environmental conditions remains challenging for occupants. To address this limitation, we propose a machine learning (ML)-based dead band tuning framework that optimally adjusts thermostat settings in real time. The method integrates conventional optimization with data-driven modeling: a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is first used to generate optimal dead band values under measured outdoor temperature records (diverse seasonal weather scenarios) which are then employed to train the ML-based predictor to learn a real-time discrete dead band decision policy that approximates the MILP-optimal hysteresis-aware decisions.

To overcome these challenges, the proposed work introduces a novel framework for range estimation while integrating an enhanced equivalent circuit model with a physics-guided temperature-compensated Extended Kalman Filter algorithm. Firstly, comprehensive mathematical models are developed and validated that integrate: (i) proposed enhanced 3rd-order equivalent circuit modeling (p-eTECM) with control parameter optimization, (ii) data-and-model-driven parameter identification using Coulomb counting and voltage scaling analysis, (iii) comprehensive sensitivity analysis to rank important parameters to improve accuracy, and (iv) application-specific model selection criteria based on performance trade-offs. However, unlike existing frameworks that incorporate higher-order RC models that are universally superior, the proposed work identifies that model selection should be application-dependent for different battery management functions. The novel contributions include: parameter & voltage optimization from the pack-level, while systematically eliminating voltage bias through online parameter optimization, and developing a comprehensive sensitivity analysis algorithm to validate the improvements. The proposed framework demonstrates that parameter calibration is more crucial with capacity correction and voltage scaling, to eliminate systematic biases that render models impractical. This study further reveals that 3rd-order model outperforms in voltage prediction (8.3 % improvement) while the 2nd-order model provides better SOC tracking (13 % improved accuracy), establishing clear application-specific selection criteria.

From the perspective of \"wind turbine clusters\", this paper proposes a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based clustering criteria selection method, employs an improved Kernel Fuzzy C-Means (Kernel-FCM) clustering algorithm to classify wind turbine clusters, and achieves dynamic aggregation equivalence for large-scale wind farms. Based on aggregation results, a wind-storage coordinated frequency regulation control strategy for full wind speed scenarios is developed: the Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) adopts adaptive virtual droop control; turbines implement pitch angle de-loading control in constant power zones and adaptive virtual inertia control in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) zones. A determination mechanism is established upon the conclusion of inertial support and the initiation of rotor speed recovery, accompanied by corresponding power compensation schemes.

The proposed CDA mechanism has been evaluated with publicly available energy demand data and compared with another CDA method to show that it reduces natural ordering violations.
