Despite its significance, VPP currently has a very limited presence in the energy markets. A lack of systematic assessment of the multiple factors has been identified as the main reason for VPP’s limited admittance into the energy markets. This necessitates research initiatives that consider superior approaches and frameworks for the sustainable future of VPPs. A novel multi-aspect framework (MAF) is proposed in this study to examine objectively multi-dimensional aspects. A STEEP (social, technological, environmental, economic, and political) analysis tool is used to assess the challenges, opportunities, and benefits of VPP in the energy market. The approach outlines the essential factors and actions needed to address the challenges of VPP admittance in the energy markets. This study demonstrated that there is still more work to be done to support the fast and wide-scale adoption of sustainable VPP applications. For this reason, a more favourable policy and regulatory framework based on social, technological, economic, environmental, and policy considerations are necessary to realize the genuine contributions of a VPP.","PeriodicalId":288300,"journal":{"name":"2023 5th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference (GPECOM)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124948024","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 this scheme, the LWA simultaneously scan its beam to estimate the DoA of each user independently at different scanning angles. The proposed algorithm employs a high-resolution multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm by applying the LWA scanning features and SVD technique to generate the spectrum and derive the Cramer–Rao lower bounds (CRLB) to improve the robustness. We provide a software define radio (SDR) implementation of the proposed scheme. Finally, the simulation results ensures that the proposed DoA algorithm performs efficiently over other DoA with linear array antenna.

In the proposed method, the automatic docking operation of a charging connector is divided into four stages. The contact stage includes single-and two-point contacts, and in this stage, a mechanical model of a charging connector is established. In addition, considering the requirements of practical applications, a hybrid force-position control model and a flexible docking method of a self-adaptive position are developed in the contact stage, and a complete control strategy is designed according to typical application requirements for the automatic docking of a charging connector. A test system is constructed to test the proposed hybrid compliance control method and compare it with the existing docking method without compliance control. The test results show that the proposed hybrid force-position compliance control method can stably comply with external constraints in the process of automatic docking of an electric vehicle’s charging connector and complete the docking.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) approach in analyzing real-time data on Locational Marginal Prices (LMPs) during periods before, during, and after the COVID19 pandemic. Open data from the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) are utilized to obtain the LMP data. To evaluate the accuracy of the model predictions, three performance metrics were utilized, namely Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). Additionally, the study assesses the ability of LSTM to forecast LMP, considering yearly fluctuations. Graphical visualizations are created to depict the trends and patterns of LMP changes and forecasts over time. The results demonstrate the promising potential of LSTM in forecasting LMP even in unpredictable situations like pandemic. Despite the challenges of accurately estimating extreme energy demands during the pandemic, the LSTM model generates reliable forecasts, as evidenced by the performance metrics. The graphical visualizations also illustrate the effectiveness of LSTM in capturing the underlying trends and patterns of LMP changes over time.","PeriodicalId":288300,"journal":{"name":"2023 5th Global Power, Energy and Communication Conference (GPECOM)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130347070","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}

This paper proposes an approach to diagnose and predict the health condition of induction motors used in electric vehicle powertrain applications using machine learning techniques. The proposed approach utilizes vibration signals collected from accelerometers attached to the motor and employs decision forest and decision tree algorithms to classify the health condition of the motor. The study aims to identify the most significant features of the vibration signals and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in diagnosing and predicting the health of the motor. The models are trained on full extracted features and selected features using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Correlation Analysis (CA) to improve the classification performance. The experimental results demonstrate that the combination of selected features using PCA with the Decision Forest (DF) algorithm achieves the best classification performance for the simulated motor fault conditions.
