For the last ten years, utilities have observed on-going transitions on consumers load curves. The previously flat load curves have more frequently turned into duck-shape. This is jointly caused by the increasing household loads as well as the popularity of rooftop solar photovoltaic. Such load curve transition challenges the operational flexibility of the existing systems and greatly increases the per-MWh energy costs. Peak shaving, in this context, becomes a critical task to demand-side management. Owing to the development of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), numerous peak shaving strategies have been developed and implemented. In this paper, by applying a stacked autoencoder (SAE)-based residential peak load curve forecasting technology, we further lift the peaking shaving capabilities of BESSs to a new level. The proposed strategy takes into account the welfares of both generation-side and demand-side and reaches an optimal balance. A comprehensive case study using smart meter data demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method in peak shaving application.

With the rapid adoption of distributed photovoltaics (PVs) in certain regions, issues such as lower net load valley during the day and more steep ramping of the demand after sunset start to challenge normal operations at utility companies. Urban tran sportation systems also have high peak congestion periods and steep ramping because of traffic patterns. We propose using the emerging electric vehicles (EVs) and the charing/discharging stations (CDSs) to coordinate the operation between power distribution system (PDS) and the urban transportation system (UTS), therefore, the operation challenges in each system can be mitigated by utilizing the flexibility of the other system. We conducted the simulation and numerical analysis using the IEEE 8,500-bus for the PDS and the Sioux Falls system with about 10,000 cars for the UTS. Two systems are simulated jointly to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Short-term load forecasting is a critical element of power systems energy management systems. In recent years, probabilistic load forecasting (PLF) has gained increased attention for its ability to provide uncertainty information that helps to improv e the reliability and economics of system operation performances. This paper proposes a two-stage probabilistic load forecasting framework by integrating point forecast as a key probabilistic forecasting feature into PLF. In the first stage, all related features are utilized to train a point forecast model and also obtain the feature importance. In the second stage the forecasting model is trained, taking into consideration point forecast features, as well as selected feature subsets. During the testing period of the forecast model, the final probabilistic load forecast results are leveraged to obtain both point forecasting and probabilistic forecasting. Numerical results obtained from ISO New England demand data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in the hour-ahead load forecasting, which uses the gradient boosting regression for the point forecasting and quantile regression neural networks for the probabilistic forecasting.

A Load Balancing Relay Algorithm (LBRA) was proposed to solve the unfair spectrum resource allocation in the traditional mobile MTC relay. In order to obtain reasonable use of spectrum resources, and a balanced MTC devices (MTCDs) distribution, spect rum resources are dynamically allocated by MTCDs regrouped on the MTCD to MTC gateway link. Moreover, the system outage probability and transmission capacity are derived when using LBRA. The numerical results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in transmission capacity and outage probability than the traditional method. LBRA had an increase in transmission capacity of about 0.7dB, and an improvement in outage probability of about 0.8dB with a high MTCD density.
Large-scale deployment of smart meters has made it possible to collect sufficient and high-resolution data of residential electric demand profiles. Clustering analysis of these profiles is important to further analyze and comment on electricity consu mption patterns. Although many clustering techniques have been proposed in the literature over the years, it is often noticed that different techniques fit best for different datasets. To identify the most suitable technique, standard clustering validity indices are often used. These indices focus primarily on the intrinsic characteristics of the clustering results. Moreover, different indices often give conflicting recommendations which can only be clarified with heuristics about the dataset and/or the expected cluster structures -- information that is rarely available in practical situations. This paper presents a novel scheme to validate and compare the clustering results objectively. Additionally, the proposed scheme considers all the steps prior to the clustering algorithm, including the pre-processing and dimensionality reduction steps, in order to provide recommendations over the complete framework. Accordingly, the proposed strategy is shown to provide better, unbiased, and uniform recommendations as compared to the standard Clustering Validity Indices.

Event detection is the first step in event-based non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) and it can provide useful transient information to identify appliances. However, existing event detection methods with fixed parameters may fail in case of unpredic table and complicated residential load changes such as high fluctuation, long transition, and near simultaneity. This paper proposes a dynamic time-window approach to deal with these highly complex load variations. Specifically, a window with adaptive margins, multi-timescale window screening, and adaptive threshold (WAMMA) method is proposed to detect events in aggregated home appliance load data with high sampling rate (>1Hz). The proposed method accurately captures the transient process by adaptively tuning parameters including window width, margin width, and change threshold. Furthermore, representative transient and steady-state load signatures are extracted and, for the first time, quantified from transient and steady periods segmented by detected events. Case studies on a 20Hz dataset, the 50Hz LIFTED dataset, and the 60Hz BLUED dataset show that the proposed method can robustly outperform other state-of-art event detection methods. This paper also shows that the extracted load signatures can improve NILM accuracy and help develop other applications such as load reconstruction to generate realistic load data for NILM research.
