Especially for successful power grid integration of the highly volatile wind power production, a reliable forecast is crucial. In this chapter, we focus on short-term wind power prediction and employ data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), which are designed for a wind integration study in the western part of the United States. In contrast to physical approaches based on very complex differential equations, our model derives functional dependencies directly from the observations. Hereby, we formulate the prediction task as regression problem and test different regression techniques such as linear regression and support vector regression. In our experiments, we analyze predictions for individual turbines as well as entire wind parks and show that a machine learning approach yields feasible results for short-term wind power prediction.","PeriodicalId":215519,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122581445","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}

It also controls the constant temperature and adjusts the constant pressure in the thermal grid. However, cavitation occurs in PDCV due to the use of high pressure DH water. It causes frequent failures, many problems and energy losses. It makes a complaint to both the operator and the user. In order to solve these problems, we will introduce the hydroelectric power generation method to replace PDCV with hydraulic turbine, convert the unused differential pressure within a DH pipe into electricity.","PeriodicalId":215519,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126194496","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}

The main dedication of this paper is to develop a knowledge-based DSS (KB-DSS) solution for assisting in designing and keep operating their business websites. The KB-DSS is a well-recognised DSS class in the information system (IS) discipline, which can deal with developing innovative IS artefact. Various studies have been conducted on improving theory and practices within this field. We developed the KB-DSS for website features evaluation, adopting design-science research (DSR) method. The artefact was evaluated for its utility and usefulness through end-user involvements employing focus group technique.","PeriodicalId":215519,"journal":{"name":"2017 4th Asia-Pacific World Congress on Computer Science and Engineering (APWC on CSE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116741401","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}
