Smart Grids and Home Energy Management System (HEMS) have been propagated by energy liberalization, and there is a demand for services, which are based on analysis of energy consumption data. For instance, a recommendation on effective utilization of home appliances in order to reduce power consumption. However, it is computationally expensive to analyze data in order to provide an energy-saving handbook,...
Electrical load monitoring, by means of a smart meter, is getting more and more popular these days. Power demand information from smart meters is drawing attention among researchers, since it could be applied for power demand control. Providing attractive services with smart meters encourage electricity retailers to utilize demand side management, which could be a solution for energy-related problems...
Smart grid (SG) is an efficient technology for electrical power distribution and management by incorporating two-way communications between utilities and customers. The versatile features of cognitive radio (CR) technology meet the requirements of SG communication and have drawn much attention. In this paper, we study the On-Demand cognitive radio communication for SG. Our contributions includes two...
In order to optimize the power consumption and improve the energy efficiency, the smart grid (SG) provides reliable, efficient and secured electrical power generation and distribution. Smart grid aims to manage and control the consumer demand and provide the needed power. Thus, in smart grid architecture, the information about power supply must be known, in advance, by the operator. This information...
We consider the problem of power demand forecasting in residential micro-grids. Previous approaches rely on ARMA models and, recently, on neural network architectures that are however solely used to perform one-step ahead predictions. Here, we propose an original forecasting technique based on non-linear, autoregressive (NAR) neural networks. Our architecture allows for parallel and efficient training...
With the rise of the Internet of Things, innumerable sensors and actuators are expected to find their way into homes, office spaces, and beyond. Electric power metering equipment, mostly present in the form of smart meters and smart plugs, can thus be anticipated to be installed widely. While smart plugs (i.e., individual power monitors attachable to wall outlets) primarily cater to the user comfort...
One of the major challenges of the future power systems is managing the substantial unreliability and unpredictability induced by the large share of renewables. As one of the promising solutions, energy cooperatives have recently drawn attention. Unlike most of the existing proposed strategies (e.g., storage), there is not much known yet about the practical importance of energy cooperatives. Taking...
