It will help separate the group of users with unpredictable consumption behavior and then develop and train specialized deep learning models for power load forecasting or regular and non-regular users. The aim of the current work is to divide electricity customers into numerous groups based on anomalies in consumption behavior and major clusters. Successful separation of such groups of customers will provide us with two advantages. One is the increase in the accuracy of load forecasting of other users or groups of users due to their predictable consumption behavior. The second is the opportunity to develop and train specialized deep learning models for customers with highly unpredictable behaviors. The novelty of the work is the segregation of anomalous electricity users from normal/regular users based on outliers in their past power consumption behavior over a period of 92 days. Results indicate that almost 85 percent of the users in the selected residential community attribute one major cluster in their consumption behavior over a period of 3 months of data (92 days). It is also evident from the results that only a small proportion of customers, i.e., 10 out of 69 customers (15 percent), have either more than one cluster or attribute no cluster (zero clusters), which is highly important and indicates that these are the possible users who cause higher variations in power consumption of the residential community.","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139271866","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}

Furthermore, it is imperative to address the multiple uncertainties that arise during the restoration process to mitigate potential security risks associated with the restoration. Hence, an adaptive ADMM-based entire-process distributed restoration method of TSs and DSs considering CVaR is proposed in this paper. Firstly, an entire-process distributed restoration model of TSs and DSs considering CVaR is proposed to maximize the total restoration benefits of TSs and DSs. Then, an adaptive ADMM-based distributed solving algorithm for the coordinated restoration model of the TSs and DSs is introduced, which incorporates adaptive penalty parameter adjustments, leading to faster convergence compared to the standard ADMM. Finally, case studies on an improved 179-bus transmission system are employed to verify that the proposed restoration method can achieve higher restoration benefits and faster convergence speed compared to existing restoration models.","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139273397","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}

Furthermore, a substantial gap exists in the current state of research, where the majority of studies lack a comprehensive analysis of losses and reliability associated with reconfigurable battery topology structures. This paper quantitatively analyzes existing MOSFET-based topologies from three key dimensions: losses, costs, and reliability. The study aims to discern the impact of different topology structures and energy storage systems with redundant units on these three dimensions. Subsequently, while ensuring the adaptability of the topology structure, we propose a novel reconfigurable battery system topology suitable for DC microgrids, accompanied by its corresponding control strategy. Through comparative analysis with three typical topology structures, this topology structure has been validated to exhibit certain advantages in terms of losses, reliability, and costs. Lastly, the feasibility of the introduced topology structure is demonstrated through simulation using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results indicate that the proposed topology structure not only provides precise control of charge and discharge currents but also demonstrates excellent battery balancing capabilities.","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"177 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139273734","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}

However, market participants and shareholders often seek deeper insights into other system statuses associated with price prediction, such as power flow and market share of generation companies (GenCos). These insights are challenging to obtain using purely data-driven methods. This paper proposes a physics-based solution for the probabilistic prediction of market-clearing outcomes, using real sanitized offer data from the National Electricity Market of Singapore (NEMS). Our approach begins with approximating the generator offers that have been historically cleared. Using this pool of offer data, we propose a probabilistic market-clearing process. This process allows for the probabilistic prediction of market prices. By considering the power system network and its constraints, we also naturally obtain probabilistic predictions of power flow and market shares. We validate our approach using actual NEMS data. Our findings show that while the overall performance of price prediction is comparable to existing methods, our proposed method can also provide probabilistic predictions of other associated system operating conditions. Furthermore, our method enables scenario studies, such as the impact of demand-side participation and the penetration of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems on the Uniform Singapore Energy Price (USEP).","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139275318","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 primary objective of the FITSMC strategy is to regulate the operation of the wind turbine efficiently and maximize power extraction from the WECS. To achieve this, the system is driven onto a sliding surface within a predefined terminal time, ensuring rapid convergence and overall stability. An important advantage of the FITSMC strategy is its ability to maintain a standalone wind power system close to the maximum power point, even under varying wind conditions and load changes. In addition, the controller demonstrates robustness against uncertainties and disturbances, making it highly suitable for real-world applications. Extensive simulations and analyses have been conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed FITSMC. The results show a superior control performance compared to traditional methods.

The thermodynamic and emission characteristic models of air source heat pump are developed and optimized, and further compared with traditional heating solutions when used in five different typical cities throughout the world. The results indicate among the selected working fluids, R152a achieves the highest COP of 3.91 among all of the selected low GWP working fluids.
