The key feature of the DMD technique is that it utilizes the past data for the prediction of future data without the need for the system model. Once the load profile is forecasted using DMD, the peak loads and base load time period are segregated. With the help of a system operator, various energy sources can be arranged for supplying peak loads. Electric vehicles (EVs) having the advantage of mobility and smart building acting as the virtual battery is considered for providing support to the grid as compared to other renewable energy sources which generally have limitations due to environmental factors. The DMD technique for forecasting the load profile of the smart grid is tested under various test scenarios. Finally, from the results, it has been proved that EVs and the smart building seem to be the most promising solution for supporting the grid during the peak load period.","PeriodicalId":355781,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128419259","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 is accomplished through the Ott-Antonsen ansatz framework for the dynamics of large interactive unit networks. Besides, this approach reduces the infinite-dimensional dynamics to phase space flow, i.e., low dimensional dynamics for certain systems of globally coupled phase oscillators. The resulting Hamiltonian-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) expression is extremely difficult to solve in general, therefore this paper introduces the AC method for learning approximate optimal control laws for the Kuramoto oscillator model. RL has been contemplated as one of the efficient methods to solve optimal control of non-linear systems. For a collection of non-homogeneous oscillators, the states are elucidated as phase angles, which is the modification of the model for a coupled Kuramoto oscillator. An admissible initial control policy for the Kuramoto oscillator model is designed and solved using RL giving an approximate solution of the optimal control problem. Finally, local synchronism of the coupled Kuramoto oscillator model is supported through simulations analysis.","PeriodicalId":355781,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"30 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133615836","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}

Map Matching becomes a challenging problem when the sparse geo-temporal data set is noisy (e.g., 10 meters away from the actual location) and has a low sampling rate (e.g., one data point per 3 minutes). The public transportation domain (e.g., buses) differs from the generic transportation (e.g., taxis) as it follows a predefined route, and that helps to build the ground truth trajectories. Ground truth trajectories are essential to validate the map-matching algorithms. There are many advanced map matching algorithms, but they are focused on the generic map matching problem. We propose an improvement to the existing Hidden Markov Model (HMM) map matching methodology to find the most likely road route considering the probability of the bus being on the predefined route. The proposed algorithm is validated using simulated GPS data in a dense road network with different noises and sample rates. Finally, the results are compared with the existing HMM solution using Route Mismatched Fraction (RMF).","PeriodicalId":355781,"journal":{"name":"2020 7th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133657037","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}
