It is used for convergent traffic, where sensor nodes send messages to the sink node. Due to message transmission failures inherent to wireless sensor networks, researches in this area agree that point-to-point message confirmation in these networks is essential. This work proposes solutions for routing based on Gradient using a confirmation mechanism, where three protocol variations are evaluated for sensor networks applications in order to monitor and control electrical variables. Results demonstrate that the protocol has a satisfactory package delivery rate in severe conditions. Furthermore, results show in which situations each routing protocol variation better suits the target application.","PeriodicalId":365141,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124673699","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 classical method for load forecasting is to use artificial neural networks (ANN). Recently the use of support vector machines (SVM) has emerged as a hot research topic for load forecasting. In this study, in which several different experiments are executed, to compare the use of SVM and ANN for mid-term load forecasting is presented. The forecasting is mainly performed for the electrical daily load in one year. Based on the results from the experiments, a comparison between different internal ANN algorithms as well as the comparison between ANN itself and SVM is discussed, and the merits of each approach described. Also, how much effect the factors like weather and type of day have for the load prediction is analyzed.","PeriodicalId":365141,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121086396","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 is well known ADALINE is slow in convergence which is not appropriate for online application and identification of time varying system. To speed up convergence of learning and thus increase the capability of tracking time varying system parameters, our previous work added a momentum term to the weight adjustment. While the momentum does speed up convergence, it also shows over-shooting or oscillating and also tracks noise closely. To help to reduce this effect, we propose a truncated version of the momentum term to track variable parameters better and track noise less. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides indeed fast yet smoother convergence and better tracking of time varying parameters.","PeriodicalId":365141,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129999242","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 parameter identification step is incorporated into the iterative optimization to reduce the plant/model mismatch. Selected model parameters are updated by identifying a 1D batch column model from the measured data and the parameters are used in a 2D model of the annular process.

We design and implement the proposed gateway based on Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) framework with the integration of NILM smart meters, sensors and actuators. Based on this infrastructure, we then present a data mining and event association algorithm to establish the relationships between appliances, sensors and actuators. The association and relationship information can be used to identify appropriate smart home and building services to specific houses and buildings, to locate appliances in a particular room and area, and to help an NILM system to collect the signatures of unknown appliances.
