Dynamic time warping (DTW) is a well-known algorithm for time series elastic dissimilarity measure. Its ability to deal with non-linear time distortions makes it helpful in variety of data mining tasks. Such a task is also anomaly detection which attempts to reveal unexpected behaviour without false detection alarms. In this paper, we propose a novel anomaly detection method named Expert enhanced dynamic time warping anomaly detection (E-DTWA). It is based on DTW with additional enhancements involving human-in-the-loop concept. The main benefits of our approach comprise efficient detection, flexible retraining based on strong consideration of the expert's detection feedback while retaining low computational and space complexity.

Accurate event-based modeling of electric vehicle (EV) charging is essential for grid reliability and smart-charging design. While traditional statistical methods capture marginal distributions, they often fail to model the complex, non-linear dependencies between charging variables, specifically arrival times, durations, and energy demand. This paper addresses this gap by introducing the first application of Vine copulas and Copula Density Neural Estimation framework (CODINE) to the EV domain. We evaluate these high-capacity dependence models across three diverse real-world datasets. Our results demonstrate that by explicitly focusing on modeling the joint dependence structure, Vine copulas and CODINE outperform established parametric families and remain highly competitive against state-of-the-art benchmarks like conditional Gaussian Mixture Model Networks. We show that these methods offer superior preservation of tail behaviors and correlation structures, providing a robust framework for synthetic charging event generation in varied infrastructure contexts.

This work presents a three-phase ML prediction framework designed to handle a high dimensionality and multivariate time series character of the electricity market curves. In the preprocessing phase, we transform the original data to achieve a unified structure and mitigate the effect of possible outliers. Further, to address the challenge of high dimensionality, we test three dimensionality reduction techniques (PCA, kPCA, UMAP). Finally, we predict supply and demand curves, once represented in a latent space, with a variety of machine learning methods (RF, LSTM, TSMixer). As our results on the MIBEL dataset show, a high dimensional structure of the market curves can be best handled by the nonlinear reduction technique UMAP. Regardless of the ML technique used for prediction, we achieved the lowest values for all considered precision metrics with a UMAP latent space representation in only two or three dimensions, even when compared to PCA and kPCA with five or six dimensions. Further, we demonstrate that the most promising machine learning technique to handle the complex structure of the electricity market curves is a novel TSMixer architecture. Finally, we fill the gap in the field of electricity market curves prediction literature: in addition to standard analysis on the supply side, we applied the ML framework and predicted demand curves too. We discussed the differences in the achieved results for these two types of curves.
