arXiv:2605.21903v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The integration of machine learning with domain-specific physics is transforming the design, monitoring, and control of electricity systems, where data scarcity, limited interpretability, and the need to enforce physical laws constrain purely data-driven models. Physics-informed machine learning (PIML) addresses these limitations by embedding governing equations directly into the learning process, yielding accurate, efficient, and scalable solutions for Industry 4.0 applications. This article reviews hybrid PIML architectures for electricity systems, including physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), Deep Operator Networks (DeepONets), Fourier Neural Operators, Extreme Learning Machine-enhanced PINNs, graph-based PINNs (PIGNNs), and domain-decomposition PINNs. Each approach is examined through case studies spanning field analysis, fault detection, digital twins, surrogate modeling, and control optimization. The review shows that

arXiv:2605.21665v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid growth of electric vehicles is shifting the main constraint on transport electrification from vehicle adoption to the deployment and operation of charging infrastructure. Charging-network design requires decisions across three interdependent layers: Planning, which determines where and how much infrastructure to build; Scheduling, which governs charging dispatch, pricing, and grid interaction; and Behavior, which captures how users choose stations, charging times, and charging durations. Existing studies have advanced each layer substantially, but the literature remains fragmented, and cross-layer interactions are often treated through simplifying assumptions. This survey develops a three-layer Planning-Scheduling-Behavior (PSB) framework to organize EV charging research according to decision horizon, actor objective, and coupling structure. We further identify a fidelity-tractability tradeoff, termed the PSB trilemma: each
