Demand side management (DSM) plays a critical role in scheduling and optimizing the energy consumption in the smart grid. Considering the critical yet complex human behavior issue, we develop new population dynamic models to describe the behavior of DSM users and use them to analyze the performance of DSM. We first introduce an accurate Markov model for the DSM population. We show that this model...
This paper proposes a new objective function and quantile regression (QR) algorithm for load forecasting (LF). In LF, the positive forecasting errors often have different economic impact from the negative forecasting errors. Considering this difference, a new objective function is proposed to put different prices on the positive and negative forecasting errors. QR is used to find the optimal solution...
Online bidding and procurement, as one of the advanced business models, has been widely used in manufacturing enterprises exhibiting traits of modern enterprise management: speed, cost and variety. The Chinese military-industrial enterprises are still under the influence of planned economy; therefore, it is of utmost importance to use the advanced modern enterprise management theories and tools to...
This paper presents an interactive method for synthesizing natural scenes especially plant scenes from natural texture samples. Using anisotropic texel (TEXture ELement) distribution as our anchor point, and with simple user-assisted feature extraction, we can explicitly model the characteristics of a texture with respect to scale variation, element type, color and other prominent properties. Thus...
This paper firstly introduces the concept of ldquoknowledge filterrdquo and divides the growth of science parks into innovation and commercialization of knowledge, university-industry relations as well as external factors of industry agglomeration and spillover effect. The empirical study based on the panel data model is applied to test contribution of each factor concerned with Chinapsilas science...
