Smart Energy Optimization Using Heuristic Algorithm in Smart Grid with Integration of Solar Energy Sources
摘要: Smart grid (SG) vision has come to incorporate various communication technologies, which facilitate residential users to adopt different scheduling schemes in order to manage energy usage with reduced carbon emission. In this work, we have proposed a residential load management mechanism with the incorporation of energy resources (RESs) i.e., solar energy. For this purpose, a real-time electricity price (RTP), energy demand, user preferences and renewable energy parameters are taken as an inputs and genetic algorithm (GA) has been used to manage and schedule residential load with the objective of cost, user discomfort, and peak-to-average ratio (PAR) reduction. Initially, RTP is used to reduce the energy consumption cost. However, to minimize the cost along with reducing the peaks, a combined pricing model, i.e., RTP with inclining block rate (IBR) has been used which incorporates user preferences and RES to optimally schedule load demand. User comfort and cost reduction are contradictory objectives, and difficult to maximize, simultaneously. Considering this trade-off, a combined pricing scheme is modelled in such a way that users are given priority to achieve their objective as per their requirements. To validate and analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm, we first propose mathematical models of all utilized loads, and then multi-objective optimization problem has been formulated. Furthermore, analytical results regarding the objective function and the associated constraints have also been provided to validate simulation results. Simulation results demonstrate a significant reduction in the energy cost along with the achievement of both grid stability in terms of reduced peak and high comfort.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM) - Portland, OR, USA (2018.8.5-2018.8.10)] 2018 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting (PESGM) - A Comparison Study of Dispatching Various Battery Technologies in a Hybrid PV and Wind Power Plant
摘要: This paper presents a comparison study for various types of battery technologies using selected BESS parameters in a hybrid PV and wind power plant taking the aging of the batteries into account. The optimization problem was reformulated as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem, with the aim being to minimize the overall operating cost. IBM CPLEX was used to solve the problem. For forecasting, two techniques, i.e., the persistence and Elman Neural Network, were applied for both day-ahead and hour-ahead forecasting. Moreover, four case studies were performed, including the scenario without battery, day-ahead dispatch, day-ahead dispatch with a rolling horizon and hour-ahead dispatch. The simulation results showed that hour-ahead dispatch demonstrated the highest profitability. Furthermore, among different battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries resulted in the highest operating profits, whereas lead-acid batteries had the shortest payback period and vanadium redox flow batteries demonstrated the least degradation from cycling.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC) - Natal (2018.6.25-2018.6.28)] 2018 IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC) - QoS Guaranteed Batch Scheduling for Optical Switches Based on Unequal Weight Sequence
摘要: Due to the reconfiguration overhead of optical fabrics, batch scheduling method is generally used to schedule an optical packet switch, with a necessary speedup inside the switch to ensure 100% throughput with a bounded packet delay. Existing algorithms take each traffic matrix as a batch, and adopt traffic matrix decomposition techniques to decompose it into the sum of a set of weighted permutation matrices (which are then used as switch configurations). Nevertheless, existing algorithms adopt an equal weight for all switch configurations, meaning that each configuration should be held for the same time duration to transmit packets. We observe that this rigid strategy may limit the flexibility of the scheduling and result in a large speedup requirement due to inefficient time slot utilization. Motivated by this observation, we propose a UWS (Unequal Weight Sequence) algorithm to decompose the traffic matrix. UWS uses a different weight for each switch configuration. It first takes an arithmetic progression as the starting weight sequence, and then adjusts the weights for configurations to ensure 100% throughput with a bounded packet delay (such that QoS can be guaranteed). We theoretically prove that the worst case speedup of UWS will never be larger than that of the best existing ADAPT algorithm. Simulation results indeed demonstrate a speedup improvement of around 15%.

摘要: A concept of cloud radio access networks (C-RANs) is becoming a popular solution to support the required communication quality for new emerging service in the future network environment, i.e., more than 10 Gbps capacity, less than 1 ms latency, and connectivity for numerous devices. In this paper, we envision a C-RAN based on passive optical network (PON) exploiting power over fiber (PoF), which achieves low installation and operation costs since it is capable of providing communication services without external power supply for large amount of remote radio heads (RRHs). This network, however, needs to reduce the optical transmission power of PoF due to the fiber fuse issue. Additionally, the diversification of services, devices, and personality indicates the need to improve user satisfaction, i.e., quality of experience (QoE), based on the user’s perspective, which is different from previous approaches that aim to guarantee quality of services (QoS). Therefore, we propose a QoE-guaranteed and power-efficient network operation strategy. Our proposed operation is able to reduce the transmission power while satisfying the QoE constraint by controlling both the schedule of RRH’s sleep and optical transmission power of PoF. Furthermore, the effectiveness of our proposed operation scheme is evaluated through extensive computer simulations.

Energy scheduling of a smart microgrid with shared photovoltaic panels and storage: The case of the Ballen marina in Sams??
摘要: This paper focuses on the Model Predictive Control (MPC) based energy scheduling of a smart microgrid equipped with non-controllable (i.e., with fixed power profile) and controllable (i.e., with flexible and programmable operation) electrical appliances, as well as photovoltaic (PV) panels, and a battery energy storage system (BESS). The proposed control strategy aims at a simultaneous optimal planning of the controllable loads, the shared resources (i.e., the storage system charge/discharge and renewable energy usage), and the energy exchange with the grid. The control scheme relies on an iterative finite horizon on-line optimization, implementing a mixed integer linear programming energy scheduling algorithm to maximize the self-supply with solar energy and/or minimize the daily cost of energy bought from the grid under time-varying energy pricing. At each time step, the resulting optimization problem is solved providing the optimal operations of controllable loads, the optimal amount of energy to be bought/sold from/to the grid, and the optimal charging/discharging profile for the BESS. The proposed energy scheduling approach is applied to the demand side management control of the marina of Ballen, Sams? (Denmark), where a smart microgrid is currently being implemented as a demonstrator in the Horizon2020 European research project SMILE. Simulations considering the marina electric consumption (340 boat sockets, a service building equipped with a sauna and a wastewater pumping station, and the harbour master’s office equipped with a heat pump), PV production (60kWp), and the BESS (237 kWh capacity) based on a public real dataset are carried out on a one year time series with a 1 h resolution. Simulations indicate that the proposed approach allows 90% exploitation of the production of the PV plant. Furthermore, results are compared to a na?ve control approach. The MPC based energy scheduling improves the self-supply by 1.6% compared to the na?ve control. Optimization of the business economy using the MPC approach, instead, yields to 8.2% savings in the yearly energy cost with respect to the na?ve approach.

Scheduling of PV inverter reactive power set-point and battery charge/discharge profile for voltage regulation in low voltage networks
摘要: In recent years, renewable energies and storage systems are bringing a significant contribution to power system. Due to the high penetration of non-predictable power sources, especially in the distribution networks, new challenges related to the integration and management of these new resources also combined with storage systems arose in power system research. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to propose an innovative scheduling method for voltage regulation in low voltage networks. A simple type of contract for ancillary services that foresees the participation of active users endowed with a storage system coupled with a PV system is considered. The method allows to regulate the voltage in a distribution system by using a combined PV and storage system. The voltage regulation is achieved by setting the value of the inverter reactive power on the basis of sensitivity coefficients of the considered node, taking into account the capability curve constrains, as required by new grid codes. A possible tariff policy is also proposed for the ancillary service and for the operation of the realization of the scheduling algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for the scheduling of the power system.

摘要: The general problem of a queue-aware radio resource management and scheduling design is investigated for wireless communications under quasi-static fading channel conditions. Based on an analysis of the source buffer queuing system, the problem is formulated as a constrained nonlinear discrete programming problem. The state transition matrix of the queuing system determined by the queue-aware scheduler is shown to have a highly dynamic structure, so that the conventional matrix analysis and optimization tools are not applicable. By reformulating the problem into a nonlinear integer programming problem on an integer convex set, a direct search approach is considered. Two types of search algorithms, gradient based and gradient-free, are investigated. An integer steepest-descent search with a sub-sequential interval search algorithm and a constrained discrete Rosenbrock search (CDRS) algorithm is proposed to solve the nonlinear integer problem. Both algorithms are shown to have low complexity and good convergence. The numerical results for a single user resource allocation are presented, which show that both algorithms outperform equal partitioning and random partitioning queue-aware scheduling. The dynamic programming (DP) solution given by the relative value iteration algorithm, which provides the true optima but has high complexity, is used as a benchmark. In the majority of the numerical examples, the performance of the CDRS algorithm is almost identical to that of the DP approach in terms of both the average queue length minimization and the average packet blocking plus packet retransmission minimization, but it is less complex, and thus has better scalability.

摘要: Recently, multiple concurrent transmission techniques have been proposed for smartly exploiting interference to improve network throughput. This paper considers zero-forcing (ZF) precoding that allows two interfering links to concurrently transmit under certain situations. This paper focuses on identifying appropriate schedule schemes that efficiently utilize the ZF precoding opportunities to improve network throughput. With this motivation, we define novel link models to formulate our concerned problem. We also develop a distributed scheduling algorithm by using belief propagation. Finally, we conduct extensive simulation experiments to evaluate the efficiency of ZF in improving network throughput in multihop wireless networks. Our simulations confirm that intelligently utilizing ZF in multihop networks is very effective in improving throughput.

摘要: This paper investigates the downlink of a single-cell base station (BS) equipped with a large-scale antenna array system while considering a non-negligible transmit circuit power consumption. This consumption involves that activating all RF chains does not always necessarily achieve the maximum sum-rate when the total BS transmit power is limited. This paper formulates a sum-rate maximization problem when a low complexity linear precoder, such as conjugate beamforming or zero forcing beamforming, is used. The problem is first relaxed by assuming arbitrary antenna selection. In this case, we derive analytically the optimal number of activated RF chains that maximizes the sum-rate under either optimal power allocation or equal received power constraint for all users. Also, user scheduling algorithms are proposed when users require a minimum received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. Two iterative user scheduling algorithms are designed. The first one is efficient in terms of fairness and the second one achieves the optimal performance. Next, the antenna selection is investigated and we propose iterative antenna selection algorithms that are efficient in terms of instantaneous sum-rate. Simulation results corroborate our analytical results and demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms compared with arbitrary and optimal brute force search antenna selection.

摘要: In this paper, we propose joint angle-delay subspace based-channel estimation in single cell for broadband massive multiple-input and multiple-output systems employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation. Based on a parametric channel model, we present a new concept of the joint angle-delay subspace, which can be tracked by the low-complexity low-rank adaptive ?ltering algorithm. Then, we investigate an interference-free transmission condition that the joint angle-delay subspaces of the users reusing the same pilots are non-overlapping. Since the channel statistics are usually unknown, we develop a robust minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator under the worst precondition of pilot decontamination, considering that the joint angle-delay subspaces of the interfering users fully overlap. Furthermore, motivated by the interference-free transmission criteria, we present a novel low-complexity greedy pilot scheduling algorithm to avoid the problem of initial value sensitivity. Simulation results show that the joint angle-delay subspace can be estimated effectively, and the proposed pilot reuse scheme combined with robust MMSE channel estimation offers signi?cant performance gains.
