Optimal Tap Setting of Voltage Regulation Transformers Using Batch Reinforcement Learning [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2020
In this paper, we address the problem of setting the tap positions of load tap changers (LTCs) for voltage regulation in radial power distribution systems under uncertain load dynamics. The objective is to find a policy to determine the tap positions that only uses measurements of voltage magnitudes and topology information so as to minimize the ...

Amplitude setting and dopamine response of finger tapping and gait are related in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Abstract Movement amplitude setting is affected early in Parkinson’s disease (PD), clinically manifesting as bradykinesia. Our objective was to determine if amplitude setting of upper limb bimanual movements and bipedal gait are similarly modulated in PD.
