Abstract To adapt to the uncertainty of new energy, increase new energy consumption, and reduce carbon emissions, a high-voltage distribution network energy storage planning model based on robustness-oriented planning and distributed new energy consumption is proposed. Firstly, the spatio-temporal correlation of large-scale wind-photovoltaic energy is modeled based on the Vine Copula model, and the spatial correlation of the generated wind-photovoltaic power generation is corrected to get the spatio-temporal correlation of wind-photovoltaic power generation scenarios. Finally, considering the subsequent development of new energy on demand for high-voltage distribution network peaking margin and the economy of the system More >

Abstract Efficient energy management is a cornerstone of advancing cognitive cities, where AI, IoT, and cloud computing seamlessly integrate to meet escalating global energy demands. Within this context, the ability to forecast electricity consumption with precision is vital, particularly in residential settings where usage patterns are highly variable and complex. This study presents an innovative approach to energy consumption forecasting using a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. Leveraging a dataset containing over two million multivariate, time-series observations collected from a single household over nearly four years, our model addresses the limitations of traditional time-series forecasting… More >

Abstract The significance of precise energy usage forecasts has been highlighted by the increasing need for sustainability and energy efficiency across a range of industries. In order to improve the precision and openness of energy consumption projections, this study investigates the combination of machine learning (ML) methods with Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) values. The study evaluates three distinct models: the first is a Linear Regressor, the second is a Support Vector Regressor, and the third is a Decision Tree Regressor, which was scaled up to a Random Forest Regressor/Additions made were the third one which was… More >

Abstract The efficient implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is crucial for network data security. This paper presents novel hardware implementations of the AES S-box, a core component, using tower field representations and Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) solvers. Our research makes several significant contributions to the field. Firstly, we have optimized the GF() inversion, achieving a remarkable 31.35% area reduction (15.33 GE) compared to the best known implementations. Secondly, we have enhanced multiplication implementations for transformation matrices using a SAT-method based on local solutions. This approach has yielded notable improvements, such as a 22.22% reduction in More >

Abstract Studies to enhance the management of electrical energy have gained considerable momentum in recent years. The question of how much energy will be needed in households is a pressing issue as it allows the management plan of the available resources at the power grids and consumer levels. A non-intrusive inference process can be adopted to predict the amount of energy required by appliances. In this study, an inference process of appliance consumption based on temporal and environmental factors used as a soft sensor is proposed. First, a study of the correlation between the electrical and… More >

Abstract As the power system transitions to a new green and low-carbon paradigm, the penetration of renewable energy in China’s power system is gradually increasing. However, the variability and uncertainty of renewable energy output limit its profitability in the electricity market and hinder its market-based integration. This paper first constructs a wind-solar-thermal multi-energy complementary system, analyzes its external game relationships, and develops a bi-level market optimization model. Then, it considers the contribution levels of internal participants to establish a comprehensive internal distribution evaluation index system. Finally, simulation studies using the IEEE 30-bus system demonstrate that the More >

Abstract Ad hoc networks offer promising applications due to their ease of use, installation, and deployment, as they do not require a centralized control entity. In these networks, nodes function as senders, receivers, and routers. One such network is the Flying Ad hoc Network (FANET), where nodes operate in three dimensions (3D) using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that are remotely controlled. With the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), these nodes form an IoT-enabled network called the Internet of UAVs (IoU). However, the airborne nodes in FANET consume high energy due to their payloads and… More >

Abstract The modified Siemens method is the dominant process for the production of polysilicon, yet it is characterised by high energy consumption. Two models of laboratory-grade Siemens reduction furnace and 12 pairs of rods industrial-grade Siemens chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reduction furnace were established, and the effects of factors such as the diameter of silicon rods, the surface temperature of silicon rods, the air inlet velocity and temperature on the heat transfer process inside the reduction furnace were investigated by numerical simulation. The results show that the convective and radiant heat losses in the furnace increased… More >

Abstract Investigating flexibility and stability boosting transmission expansion planning (TEP) methods can increase the renewable energy (RE) consumption of the power systems. In this study, we propose a bi-level TEP method for voltage-source-converter-based direct current (VSC-DC), focusing on flexibility and stability enhancement. First, we established the TEP framework of VSC-DC, by introducing the evaluation indices to quantify the power system flexibility and stability. Subsequently, we propose a bi-level VSC-DC TEP model: the upper-level model acquires the optimal VSC-DC planning scheme by using the improved moth flame optimization (IMFO) algorithm, and the lower-level model evaluates the flexibility More >

Abstract In the context of China’s “double carbon” goals and rural revitalization strategy, the energy transition promotes the large-scale integration of distributed renewable energy into rural power grids. Considering the operational characteristics of rural microgrids and their impact on users, this paper establishes a two-layer scheduling model incorporating flexible loads. The upper-layer aims to minimize the comprehensive operating cost of the rural microgrid, while the lower-layer aims to minimize the total electricity cost for rural users. An Improved Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (IAGA) is proposed to solve the model. Results show that the two-layer scheduling model with More >
