By using intelligent meters and analyzing the behavior of consumers relevant information can be obtained, which may be used for capacity distribution or to have more precise estimation for expected energy consumption for individual consumers or local regions. In this paper, we introduce new results on a recently proposed classification scheme based on the forecast of the consumption time series obtained from a smart meter using nonlinear methods. The new results include i) tests on measured power consumption data and performance evaluation in different cases; ii) comparison with other methods. The numerical results prove that our method is capable of distinguishing different consumers with different consumption patterns at lower error rate than the existing methods. As a result the forecast based method proved to be the most promising classification tool in real applications.","PeriodicalId":348843,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Green Building and Smart Grid (IGBSG)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133289727","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 particular, the power consumption of decoder for random access mode is significant compared with other coding mode. Firstly, the evaluation result show that when the number of group of picture and reference frames are varied on some conditions in random access mode. Next, based on the evaluation results, the proposed algorithm adaptively select the optimal number of reference frames in terms of the relationship of the prediction mode, coding unit size.

The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce over 40% of the reference frames comparing to the original HEVC algorithm.","PeriodicalId":348843,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Green Building and Smart Grid (IGBSG)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114419060","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 PLC technology is widely used in power grid as a part of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) allowing mainly data transfers between a management system at utility and customer-premises smart meters. However, the PLC technology on medium voltage (MV) lines is often used for remote control and monitoring of distribution transformers as well. Since power grid and consequently power lines have different transmission parameters affected by their placement and potentially burdened by interferences, the PLC systems have to be evaluated on site before placed to production. In this paper, authors propose a methodology for long-term benchmarking of the PLC systems using newly developed testing tools. The methodology is subsequently tested on real power grid and a selection of results is presented.","PeriodicalId":348843,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Green Building and Smart Grid (IGBSG)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131822861","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}

Such a joint consideration entails a mixed integer programming (MIP) problem. To efficaciously resolve this complicated MIP problem, we propose a blended genetic algorithm (BGA), which tackles all of these three issues as a whole and is free of extra assumptions made in previous works to simplify the problem. In our BGA, every chromosome is divided into a number of integer strings for relay selection and subcarrier pairing, and a real number string for power allocation. A proper initialization scheme based on the convex optimization theory and the channel strengths is proposed. Moreover, new crossover and mutation operations are devised for these new chromosomes as well as to manage the interference to the primary users (PUs). Conducted simulations show that the developed BGA provides superior performance, yet with lower computations compared with previous works.","PeriodicalId":348843,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Green Building and Smart Grid (IGBSG)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133394169","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 aggregator that serves power suppliers and residential users has two objectives: maximizing the aggregated benefit of power suppliers and users and minimizing the cost of the cognitive radio system. By increasing the sensing time for the available spectrum, the communication quality can be improved. Accurate information exchange further boosts the overall benefit of grid participants; however, larger sensing time yields higher communication cost, implying less profit for the aggregator. The above two objectives are conflicting, leading to a multiobjective optimization problem (MOP). By solving the MOP, a novel demand response management (DRM) system can be constructed. The MO framework motivates competition among power suppliers; hence, residential users can choose power suppliers probabilistically. For the aggregator, a reasonable cost of the cognitive radio system can be attained while communication quality of service is guaranteed. Simulations show that the proposed MO approach yields a stable DRM system. In contrast with a single-objective formulation, which combines multiple objectives, the MO formulation offers a broad perspective on optimality so that the conflicting features of the objectives can be readily visualized. A reasonable value of the sensing time can be further determined based on the obtained Pareto front.","PeriodicalId":348843,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd International Conference on Intelligent Green Building and Smart Grid (IGBSG)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115578396","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}

With suitably set circuit parameters, only one power switch can exhibit ZVS condition. Thus, high energy conversion efficiency is achieved. A prototype of the novel converter, designed to provide a 25W output power at an operating frequency of 42kHz, was constructed and tested to demonstrate the relevant theoretical predictions. The measured efficiency of the proposed novel current-fed parallel-loaded resonant converter reached 94.9%.
