Thailand has targeted to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 when the power grid will need to accommodate 50% share of renewable electricity generation capacity; see [Ene21]. The most recent draft of Power Development Plan 2024 (PDP2024) for 2024 - 2037 from [Ene24] proposes to add a new solar generation capacity of approximately 24,400 MWp (more than 4 times the amount issued in the previous Alternative Energy Development Plan 2015-2036 (AEDP2015) at 6,000 MWp, shown in [Dep15, p.9]. This amount does not yet include behind-the-meter, self-generation solar installed capacities of the prosumers, which is expected to increase at an accelerating rate. Solar integration into the power grid with such a sharprising amount will pose technical challenges to the operation and control of the transmission and distribution networks, carried out by the transmission system operator (TSO) and distribution system operator (DSO), as presented in [OB16]. Hence, TSO in Thailand will need an effective means to estimate the solar power generation across the entire transmission network, on an hourly basis, or even finer time resolution, to provide economic hour-to-hour generation dispatch for load following the total net load of the transmission, and to prepare sufficient system flexibility (i.e., ramp-rate capability of the thermal and hydropower plants, or energy storage systems) to cope with the net load fluctuation due to solar generation intermittency for maintaining system frequency stability, concurrently, in its operation. For DSO, a significant amount of reverse power flow when self-generation from solar exceeds self-consumption can lead to technical concerns of voltage regulation and equipment overloading problems. The near real-time estimation of solar generation in each distribution area will enable DSO to activate proper network switching or reconfiguring to mitigate such fundamental concerns to ensure its reliable operation.

Over the past few years, the division of gait phases has emerged as a complex area of research that carries significant importance for various applications in the field of gait technologies. The accurate partitioning of gait phases plays a crucial role in advancing these applications. Researchers have been exploring a range of sensors that can be employed to provide data for algorithms involved in gait phase partitioning. These sensors can be broadly categorized into two types: wearable and non-wearable, each offering unique advantages and capabilities. In our study aimed at examining the current approaches to gait analysis and detection specifically designed for implementation in ambulatory rehabilitation systems, we conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of existing research studies. Our analysis revealed a diverse range of sensors and sensor combinations that demonstrate the ability to analyze gait patterns in ambulatory settings. These sensor options vary from basic force-based binary switches to more intricate setups incorporating multiple inertial sensors and sophisticated algorithms. The findings highlight the wide spectrum of available technologies and methodologies used in gait analysis for ambulatory applications. To conduct an extensive review, we systematically examined two prominent databases, IEEE and Scopus, with the aim of identifying relevant studies pertaining to gait analysis. The search criteria were limited to 189 papers published between 1999 and 2023. From this pool, we identified and included five papers that specifically focused on various techniques including Thresholding, Quasi-static method, adaptive classifier, and SVM-based approaches. These selected papers provided valuable insights for our review.
