Development of an Algorithm for Regulating the Load Schedule of Educational Institutions Based on the Forecast of Electric Consumption within the Framework of Application of the Demand Response

Abstract

There is a tendency to increase the use of demand response technology in the Russian Federation along with other developing countries, covering not only large industries, but also individual households and organizations. Reducing peak loads of electricity consumption and increasing energy efficient use of equipment in the power system is achieved by applying demand management technology based on modeling and predicting consumer behavior in an educational institution. The study proposes to consider the possibility of participating in the concept of demand management of educational institutions with a typical workload schedule of the work week. For the study, statistical data of open services and sources, Russian and foreign research on the use of digital and information technologies, analytical methods, methods of mathematical modeling, methods of analysis, and generalization of data and statistical methods of data processing are used. An algorithm for collecting and processing power consumption data and a load planning algorithm were developed, including all levels of interaction between devices. A comparison was made between the values of the maximum daily consumption before and after optimization, as well as the magnitude of the decrease in the maximum consumption after applying the genetic algorithm. The developed algorithm has the ability to scale, which will increase the effect of using the results of this study to more significant values. Load switching helps to reduce peak consumption charges, which often represent a significant portion of the electricity cost.

Incremental Machine Learning for Soft Pneumatic Actuators with Symmetrical Chambers

“…Because calibration was performed to operate within the critical range, the actuator operated at a maximum pressure of 1 bar. A camera was mounted around the test bench, and an optical system called OptiTrack [19] was used to track the position of the end-effector. This system ran on a Windows operating system and converted visual data to Cartesian coordinates before streaming the Cartesian coordinates in real time to a PC for additional calculations.…”

Analyzing Energy Consumption Patterns at Mbarara University of Science and Technology: A Case Study of the Academic Calendar Influence

“…Energy consumption in educational institutions is subject to unique patterns due to the cyclic nature of academic calendars [1] [2]. This research investigates these patterns within the context of Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST 1 ), with a particular emphasis on the influence of the academic calendar. Understanding and optimizing these energy consumption patterns are critical for sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental responsibility [3].…”

Adaptive approach formation using machine vision technology to determine the parameters of enrichment products deposition

“…It may also indicate the relatively widespread adoption of machine vision systems in industry, as well as research activities to improve the results achieved with machine vision systems. Many of the technologies categorized as machine vision are empirical models that relate process parameters (such as content or recovery) to machine vision characteristics (such as bubble size, particle size, or statistical descriptions of texture) [18][19][20].…”
