Electrical Peak Load Clustering Analysis Using K-Means Algorithm and Silhouette Coefficient

Abstract

Nowadays, data analysis widely used in many fields especially in engineering. Clustering is one of data analysis methods to organize the amount of data into groups with similarity characteristics. One powerful analysis method to learn information by grouping data is clustering algorithms. The clustering advantages for electrical power utilities is to learn load behavior and provide information for power plant operation and also generation cost. In this paper, a simulation concept is proposed for analysis of peak load data by K-means clustering algorithm based on historical dataset. The results show electrical peak loads clustering by K-means algorithm are optimum classified into three clusters. This cluster evaluated by silhouette scores which high, intermediate, and low load level interpretation. One cluster has centroid during January, June, and July are relatively lower than another cluster caused by Indonesia national holiday. This concept also evaluates the load level affected by Covid-19 pandemic condition.

Deep learning-based anomaly-onset aware remaining useful life estimation of bearings

“…K-means clustering technique was used to form normal and abnormal clusters. An optimum number of clusters can be determined with the help of the Silhouette coefficient ( Tambunan et al, 2020 ). The difference between within-cluster tightness and separation from the remainder is calculated using the silhouette coefficient.…”

Multi‐level refined power system operation mode analysis: A data‐driven approach

“…The k‐Means++ clustering algorithm improves the selection of the initial clustering centres on the k‐Means clustering algorithm, requiring the initial clustering centres to be as far away from each other as possible to optimize the problem of difficult selection of k‐Means cluster K. The K is estimated from silhouettes coefficient [24]. The closer the $${s_i}$$ is to 1, the number of clustering classes is best.…”

Study on Potential Utilization of New Renewable Energy to Support the Electricity System in Warudoyong Area

“…The trilemma of energy in energy security, equity (energy equity), and environmental sustainability must all be considered while planning the electric power system [8]. Primary energy management [9], infrastructure [10]- [12] and operations [13], and the ability to satisfy current and future needs [14], [15] are all aspects of energy security. It is, of course, critical to pay attention to electricity assets in order for them to continue to function optimally [16]- [19].…”
