Since the technology cost of distributed energy resources (DER) has decreased, the inclination toward using these systems in buildings has increased substantially. High penetration of photovoltaic systems in residential sectors can cause problems in the distribution system, especially when the solar irradiation is high and the electricity demand is low. This paper addresses the congestion problem caused by high PV penetration in a residential distribution system by introducing a central energy management system, which utilizes demand response approach to minimize the cost of the system along with scheduling the operation of the appliances and electrical storages in such a way that grid constraints would not be violated. First, each house will be scheduled individually and send the data to the central controller and then after analyzing the obtained data if the results exceed the defined criteria the central energy management system will perform an optimization to enhance the situation. Simulation results show that the proposed method has decreased the possible problems caused by congestion and improved the performance of the distribution system.","PeriodicalId":161929,"journal":{"name":"2017 Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116067262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In another regime from CSI viewpoint, we consider blind transmitters alongside a relay having access to alternating CSI, and there exists feedback from one of the receivers to the relay. For this situation, we also study the case in which the receivers are permitted to cooperatively play a part in ensuring secrecy.

In this paper, a novel method is presented for scheduling flexible ramp requirements in RTM considering Demand Response (DR). In this method, net load uncertainty is modeled using robust optimization (RO) technique in which each period is defined by some scenarios and RO is used to model the uncertainty of each scenario. In order to verify the effectiveness of the method, a typical case study is conducted and the results are compared with the deterministic and stochastic approaches.

In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed based on combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Cooperative Neural Network (CNN) for solving synthesis problem of a four-bar linkage which leads to an optimization problem. The cooperative network, so-called PS-CNN, consists of memory-retaining particles which collaborate together based on PSO algorithm in a cooperative interaction converge to the optimal dimensional synthesis solution. In the complete-connected network, each neuron provides a solution. Thereby, solutions are updated according to the neurons' memory, their interaction with other neurons and the global best solution of the neurons in order to provide a proper solution to the optimization problem. The objective of the optimization problem is to minimize the distance of the robot's end-effector from the 5 prescribed points by the user when traversing them. Simulation results reveal the desirable performance of the PS-CNN for robot synthesis with higher complexities. Furthermore, the proposed approach opens an avenue to extend it.","PeriodicalId":161929,"journal":{"name":"2017 Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128222486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the acoustic modeling, due to wide speaker variations, some methods have been proposed for adapting DNN to new speakers. In this paper, we propose to use this idea for adaptation of deep belief network (DBN), as a spectral feature extractor, to unknown and new noisy conditions. To this end, we use DBN in two approaches. In the first approach, we use DBN to extract logarithm of Mel sub-band energies (LMFBs) from noisy speech spectrum as robust features. In the second approach, we use DBN to estimate clean speech spectrum from the noisy one. Then, we propose to add a linear layer to DBN (as a linear adaptation method) in order to adapt DBN to unknown and new noisy conditions. This method has been applied to both mentioned DBNs. This linear layer can be added to DBN input or its output. Experimental results on Aurora2 database for ASR show that the proposed adaptation methods increase DBN performance for extracting more robust speech features. Where we have 7.5% and 11% improvement in recognition accuracy by adapting DBNs which are used as LMFB extractor and clean speech spectrum estimator, respectively.","PeriodicalId":161929,"journal":{"name":"2017 Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128716461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
