The growing complexity of modern power systems, driven by the integration of renewable energy sources, distributed generation, and evolving grid structures, has highlighted the limitations of traditional protection methods. Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a revolutionary approach to increase power system protection and fault detection. In this paper, the use of different AI techniques, including machine learning, deep learning, expert systems, and fuzzy logic in optimizing fault detection, fault classification, localization, and adaptive protection schemes will be reviewed. The use of AI-based systems allows a more precise, real-time fault detection, predictive maintenance, and dynamic coordination of protection relays, which is beneficial in grid stability and reliability. Nonetheless, the AI solutions to power system protection are not supported, and there are problems with data quality, computational complexity, the proper work with existing systems, and security issues. These challenges are also discussed in this paper, and the future of AI with respect to developing smarter and more resilient power systems. The future use of AI in power system protection is set to transform the industry because of the promise of quicker, more flexible, and effective fault handling.

Wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, including Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN), are revolutionizing the field of electric vehicle (EV) power electronics. Such materials have more favourable electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties than typical silicon devices, allowing for improvements in the powertrain system, charging system, and vehicle performance. The auto industry today has well-established materials, probably the next big success. This mini-review examines the current situation of WBG materials in the world of EVs, whose integration with power electronics (e.g., inverters, motor drives, DC-DC converters, and onboard chargers) has been significant. As well, the recent advanced materials of WBG (such as diamond and Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3)) are mentioned as having a future to improve the functionality of EV power systems even further. Significant technological innovation in material scaling, device performance/reliability and scale of manufacture capability is also noted, illustrating the prospect of WBG semiconductors to deliver cost reductions to the EV system and increase its efficiency. The WBG technologies are also likely to form the future of electric mobility as they facilitate quicker charging, better range, and the efficient conversion of power.

 This research explores the integration of smart charging technologies within Beijing's electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. With Beijing's eyes set on becoming carbon-neutral by 2060, the growth of EVs and the necessary charging stations is of paramount importance. This paper studies the recent developments in the smart charging systems, including the Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology, the Ultrafast charging, and the smart grid. It also includes the issues which Beijing encounters, namely, grid capacity, infrastructure construction, cybersecurity and consumer adoption. The article provides insights into practical implementation and case studies of the successful deployment by such companies as XPeng and Shell. The possibilities of future charging technologies, such as 800V solutions or wireless charging, are discussed, and the relevant policy recommendations toward faster implementation of smart charging solutions are provided. These results support the need to sustain the investment, innovation, and collaboration in order to guarantee the success of Beijing's vehicle infrastructure and the emergence of the city as a global leader of sustainable urban transport.

As wearable health monitoring systems become increasingly integral to personal healthcare, the challenge of powering these devices to ensure continuous, real-time operation is of paramount importance. This article looks into the different power considerations and demands in health monitoring wearables, and the major issue concerning power solutions needs to be addressed effectively. It talks about the new methods of power management, including dynamic power scaling, energy-efficient algorithms, and sleep mode to achieve a long battery life. It also brings to light newer energy harvesting technologies, like kinetic energy, heat-based energy and solar, as well as new battery technologies such as solid-state batteries and flexible batteries. Their combination with low-power parts and wireless communication standards is helping to build sustainable power extensively. Finally, the article indicates a detailed description of the role that these power solutions play in enhancing the longevity, efficiency and reliability of wearable devices to emerge as effective to be used as continuous health monitoring.

Smart grids represent the next evolution of energy infrastructure, incorporating advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, renewable energy integration, and real-time monitoring to enhance grid efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. With such systems networked all over the world, there is a high demand for a proper regulatory and policy framework that will nurture the growth of such systems. This paper describes the current trends in smart grid technologies and sketches out the demands made on formative policymakers to develop adaptive and safe regulatory frameworks. It looks into data privacy, cybersecurity, and decentralized energy markets, as well as the incorporation of electric vehicles and blockchain in energy trading. This article uses case studies based in the United States, European Union, China, and India to present a wide range of regulatory policies and pinpoint some of the central recommendations on how to improve smart grid policies, such as standard harmonization, investment incentives, and social fairness. Through resolving these issues, the article proposes to have a better and elaborate knowledge of how to ensure that regulatory frameworks support the successful application of smart grids, leading to a cleaner and resilient energy future.
