arXiv:2607.25056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operate in complex, unstructured environments where efficient and safe path planning is critical for mission success and energy conservation. This paper presents a comprehensive comparative evaluation of thirteen path planning algorithms, ranging from classical graph-search methods (A*, Dijkstra) and sampling-based approaches (RRT*) to metaheuristics (PSO, GA, ACO, BCO) and learning-based architectures. Special emphasis is placed on a proposed hybrid approach combining Artificial Potential Fields (APF) with a Spatio-Temporal (ST) Transformer. Evaluated across five navigation scenarios on high-resolution underwater terrain maps, all algorithms achieved 100\% task completion; however, significant trade-offs emerged in path optimality, collision avoidance, and computational load. The Hybrid APF + ST-Transformer demonstrated superior balanced performance, achieving the shortest average path length

arXiv:2607.24423v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) are a key enabler of global decarbonization, and their charging flexibility is crucial for integrating high shares of renewable energy into future power systems. Research on EV charging flexibility in future power systems has largely focused on either the transmission or the distribution level, with limited integration between the two. However, these two scales cannot be separated: EV charging optimized at the national transmission level for system-wide planning is ultimately activated in local distribution grids, where it may cause voltage and loading issues. This study bridges that gap by evaluating EV charging flexibility across both grid levels, using two different control approaches. First, a top-down approach disaggregates the optimal charging demand obtained from a centralized planner at the transmission grid down to the distribution grid, explicitly accounting for grid constraints and individual driving
