Power short-term load forecasting based on big data and optimization neural network by Xin JIN, Long-wei LI, Jia-nan JI, Zhi-qi LI, Yu HU, Yong-bin ZHAO

“…With the reduction of the cost of power data acquisition and the interconnection of large scale power systems,the types of data available in the power network are becoming more and more abundant.In the past,the centralized fore-casting method was limited to the analysis of the massive power data.Therefore,a short-term power load forecasting based on large data and particle swarm optimization BP neural network was proposed,and short-term power load fore-casting model was established.The actual load data of the national grid,using the method of prediction,compared with the actual load data and centralized load forecasting results prove that this method is accurate enough,reduce the load forecasting time with feasibility in practical application.…”

Performance analysis and re-modeling of secondary users in cognitive radio system by Wei LIN, Yu FU, Qin-yu ZHANG, Ye WANG, Sheng WANG

“…A number of errors in the past Markov model and theoretical analysis were discussed in spectrum access based on cognitive radio network (CRN).To imitate the behav ary user (PU) and secondary user (SU) factually,new models for access strategy were presented.The performance of CRN based on different access strategies were reappraised and compared by using matrix geometric theory and event scheduling of discrete events system simulation.Theoretical analysis results and simulation experiments were tally close,which confirms the reliability of proposed models.The access strategies with handoff and channel reservation efficiently decrease the call dropping probability,as while as,increase the blocking probability.And the thought for CRN can reach the maximum in the latter with the optimum number of reserved channels.…”
