2024-11-21T09:33:48+00:00

INTRODUCTION: At present, the communication between measuring data and network topology in the distribution system cannot be accurately established. Therefore, deep neural networks were utilized to learn the mapping relationship between the measurement data and network topology, achieving topology structure discrimination under different working conditions.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to establish a machine learning-based Intelligent Distribution Network (IDN) online topology recognition model to address the limited measurement equipment in distribution networks and improve the accuracy and efficiency of network topology recognition.

METHODS: First, light GBM was used for feature selection to reduce computational complexity and improve learning efficiency. Then, a DNN model was constructed for topological identification and enhances the model scalability through incremental and transfer learning mechanisms. In addition, the Cross-Validation Grid Search Algorithm (GSA) was used to optimize the hyperparameters to ensure that the model can achieve the optimal performance on different data sets. Finally, a new intelligent distribution network identification model (Intelligent Distribution Electricity Network Identification System, IDENIS) was constructed.

RESULTS: The study was experimentally verified on the distribution system of IEEE 33 and PG&E 69. The experimental results showed that the accuracy of the DNN-based model reached 0.9817 on the test set, while the accuracy after feature selection only decreased by 1.3%, and the features decreased by 81.8%. In the PG&E 69 node system, the features were reduced by 85.5%, while the identification accuracy was decreased by only 0.51%. These results demonstrated that the proposed method maintained high identification accuracy while reducing the computational resource consumption.

CONCLUSION: Its efficient computing speed fully meets the real-time requirements in practical applications. This paper provides new ideas and methods for achieving intelligent distribution network topology recognition of high proportion distributed power sources.

The global demand for stored and processed data has surged due to the development of IoTs and similar computational structures, which has led to further energy consumption by concentrated data storage facilities and thus the demands of global energy and environmental needs. The current paper introduces Fuzzy Allocation Optimization Algorithm to mitigate energy consumption in high storage density settings. It uses the principles of Fuzzy logic to determine the best way to assign the tasks in relation to storage density necessity, urgency and energy consumption. Thus, the proposed approach incorporates fuzzy inference systems with multi-objective optimization methods where location of storage is dynamically assessed and assigned according to energy efficiency parameters. The findings of the simulation and case study prove that the algorithm is successful in saving energy while at the same time lowering storage I/O response time, which provides a viable solution to energy issues in evolving data centres. This work satisfies the lack of energy efficient algorithms in high density storage areas and responds to the recent calls for green technology and smart utilization of resources in the energy field. The findings are used in the promotion of significant IT infrastructures towards developing the next generation of energy efficient data centers with respect to Future Internet and evolving energy web environments.
