Uncertainty affects the system since the cooling load depends on the building occupancy. The goal is to minimize the energy consumption of the cooling system, while preserving comfort in the building. This is achieved by optimally distributing the cooling load demand among the chillers and the thermal storage unit, and modulating the building temperature set-point to some (limited) extent. The problem can be decomposed into a static optimization problem, and a dynamic programming problem, which is solved based on the abstraction to a Markov chain of the stochastic hybrid system modeling the cooling system.","PeriodicalId":307118,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2013","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122605231","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}

A feature selection method can be used to reduce the number of features by excluding less useful or irrelevant features. Selecting useful features not only reduces the computational complexity, but also enhances the classification performance. The novelty of this paper is to use various techniques of feature selection, including Student's t-test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Kullback Leibler Divergence test, to rank features' order based on discriminative power of different features. The ordered features are tested with the K-Nearest Neighbour classification algorithm to evaluate their importance based on fault classification accuracy.","PeriodicalId":307118,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2013","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124231409","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}

By including also prior knowledge of the magnitudes of the injections, coming from statistical load modelling, we show how it is possible to resort to conventional state estimators while achieving an increased reliability of the solution as well as the ability to detect/correct wrong prior models, using classical bad data analysis.","PeriodicalId":307118,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2013","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121455738","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 ST controls the power exchange between a microgrid and the utility network by only controlling its microgrid side voltage, instead of the conventional arrangement where new set points are communicated to all microgrid elements. When the voltage-based droop (VBD) control is implemented in the DG units, loads and storage elements, all microgrid units automatically respond to this change of microgrid voltage by altering their power output or consumption. However, this reference value of power exchange is dependent on (day-ahead) predictions of both consumption and (renewable) power generation. Hence, when these predictions prove to be inaccurate, the ST will still control the power exchange, but with consequently large variations of the microgrid voltage from its nominal value. It is suggested to take the real-time microgrid voltage into account when determining the reference power of the ST. This is presented in this paper by extending the ST's control strategy with a VBD control, such that the ST can contribute in the primary control. Simulations are included to analyze this primary control of the ST combined with VBD control of the other microgrid elements.","PeriodicalId":307118,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2013","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116914526","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}

Two types of approaches show high potential to resolve this issue: (i) secure aggregation and (ii) multi-resolution representation with conditional access. In this paper a combination of these two principle approaches is proposed. It is shown formally that secure aggregation and wavelet-based multi-resolution representation are compatible. Furthermore, it is shown that that the wavelet transformation is compatible with existing privacy-preserving protocols and can be used to extend them with additional degrees of freedom.

The data used for building the forecasting models consists of load measurements, local climate measurements and weather forecasts. The load measurements are from a supermarket located in a village in Denmark. Every hour the hourly load for refrigeration for the following 42 hours is forecasted. The forecast models are time adaptive linear time-series models. The dynamic relations between the inputs and the load is modeled by simple transfer functions. The system operates in two regimes: one in the closing hours during night and one in the opening hours during the day. This is modeled by a regime switching model in which some of the coefficients in the model depends on the regime. The results show that the one-step ahead residuals are close to white noise, however it is found that some non-linear dependence on the ambient temperature should be included in the model in further work.","PeriodicalId":307118,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2013","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114373948","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}

An option to further increase benefits, is to install a community microgrid and coordinate smart homes intelligently. To quantify this increase, we apply numerical simulations using real-world data for household loads in a temporal resolution of 15-minutes. In systems consisting of CHP-units, the degree of electricity autonomy rises from 50% to 80% through installing a microgrid, allowing lucrative CHP operation. In PV-based systems, the benefits are fewer and if battery storage is installed additionally, they almost disappear completely. As a consequence, intelligently managed microgrids are as valuable option for the integration of microgeneration as long as decentralized battery storage is not profitable and thus not employed.","PeriodicalId":307118,"journal":{"name":"IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2013","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114782230","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}
