Widespread damages from extreme winds have attracted lots of attentions of the resilience assessment of power distribution systems. With many related environmental parameters as well as numerous power infrastructure components, such as poles and wires, the increased challenge of power asset management before, during and after extreme events have to be addressed to prevent possible cascading failures in the power distribution system. Many extreme winds from weather events, such as hurricanes, generate widespread damages in multiple areas such as the economy, social security, and infrastructure management. The livelihoods of residents in the impaired areas are devastated largely due to the paucity of vital utilities, such as electricity. To address the challenge of power grid asset management, power system clustering is needed to partition a complex power system into several stable clusters to prevent the cascading failure from happening. Traditionally, system clustering uses the Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) to derive the clustering result, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Meanwhile, the previous studies considering the weather hazards did not include any detailed weather-related meteorologic parameters which is not appropriate as the heterogeneity of the parameters could largely affect the system performance. Therefore, a fragility-based network hierarchical spectral clustering method is proposed. In the present paper, the fragility curve and surfaces for a power distribution subsystem are obtained first. The fragility of the subsystem under typical failure mechanisms is calculated as a function of wind speed and pole characteristic dimension (diameter or span length). Secondly, the proposed fragility-based hierarchical spectral clustering method (F-HSC) integrates the physics-based fragility analysis into Hierarchical Spectral Clustering (HSC) technique from graph theory to achieve the clustering result for the power distribution system under extreme weather events. From the results of vulnerability analysis, it could be seen that the system performance after clustering is better than before clustering. With the F-HSC method, the impact of the extreme weather events could be considered with topology to cluster different power distribution systems to prevent the system from experiencing power blackouts.

The development of smart grids has enabled the easy collection of a large amount of power data. There are some common patterns that make it useful to cluster power consumption patterns when analyzing s power big data. In this paper, clustering analysis is based on distance functions for time series and clustering algorithms to discover patterns for power consumption data. In clustering, we use 10 distance measures to find the clusters that consider the characteristics of time series data. A simulation study is done to compare the distance measures for clustering. Cluster validity measures are also calculated and compared such as error rate, similarity index, Dunn index and silhouette values. Real power consumption data are used for clustering, with five distance measures whose performances are better than others in the simulation.

Understanding load patterns and customer classification is a basic step in analyzing the behavior of electricity consumers. To achieve that, there have been many researches about clustering customers' daily load data. Nowadays, the deployment of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and big-data technologies make it easier to study customers' load data. In this paper, we study load clustering from the view point of yearly and daily load pattern. We compare four clustering methods; K-means clustering, hierarchical clustering (average & Ward's method) and DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise). We also discuss the relationship between clustering results and Korean Standard Industrial Classification that is one of possible labels for customers' load data. We find that hierarchical clustering with Ward's method is suitable for clustering load data and KSIC can be well characterized by daily load pattern, but not quite well by yearly load pattern.

This paper is focused on the survey on the power system modeling using a clustering algorithm. In electricity markets, clustering method is a efficient tool to model the power system. It can be seen that electricity markets can also be classified into several groups which show similar patterns and that the fundamental characteristics of power systems can be widely applicable to other technical problems in power system such as generation scheduling, power flow analysis, short-term load forecasting, and so on. There are several researches on the power system modeling using a clustering algorithm. We specially surveyed their own clustering methods to model the power system.

Offshore wind power has been extremely popular in recent years, and in the energy technology field, relevant research has been increasingly conducted. However, research regarding patent portfolios is still insufficient. The purpose of this research is to study the status of mainstream offshore wind power technology and patent portfolios and to investigate major assignees and countries to obtain a thorough understanding of the developmental trends of offshore wind power technology. The findings may be used by the government and industry for designing additional strategic development proposals. Data mining methods, such as multiple correspondence analyses and k-means clustering, were implemented to explore the competing technological and strategic-group relationships within the offshore wind power industry. The results indicate that the technological positions and patent portfolios of the countries and manufacturers are different. Additional technological development strategy recommendations were proposed for the offshore wind power industry.

This paper represents how to reduce the computer time in small signal stability analysis by selecting the dominant oscillation modes with frequency of 0.5 to 1.2 Hz using the clustering technique. Clustering technique links the buses which are expected to be similar with zero-impedance lines and the voltage variations of these buses are regarded to be identical. The computer time was reduced remarkably with this technique and the effect of clustering will be powerful in the analysis of large-scale power systems.

Diagnosis techniques based on the dissolved gas analysis(DGA) have been developed to detect incipient faults in power transformers. Various methods exist based on DGA such as IEC, Roger, Dornenburg, and etc. However, these methods have been applied to different problems with different standards. Furthermore, it is difficult to achieve an accurate diagnosis by DGA without experienced experts. In order to resolve these drawbacks, this paper proposes a novel diagnosis method using fuzzy clustering and a radial basis neural network(RBFNN). In the neural network, fuzzy clustering is effective for selecting the efficient training data and reducing learning process time. After fuzzy clustering, the RBF neural network is developed to analyze and diagnose the state of the transformer. The proposed method measures the possibility and degree of aging as well as the faults occurred in the transformer. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, various experiments are performed and their results are presented.

제한된 용량의 배터리로 동작해야 하는 모바일 시스템에서는 소프트웨어 설계시 성능뿐만 아니라 전력소모도 고려해야 한다. 따라서 소프트웨어의 실행 중에 전력소모를 정확하게 예측할 수 있으면 전력과 성능을 고려한 효율적인 소프트웨어의 설계가 가능해진다. 본 논문에서는 모바일 프로세서의 전력소모 예측을 위해 정량적으로 프로세서의 동작을 분석하고 모델링 하는 통계적인 분석 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 다양한 벤치마크 프로그램들을 실행하여 프로세서의 성능 모니터링 이벤트들과 전력소모 데이터를 수집한 후 계층적 클러스터링(hierarchical clustering) 분석 등을 적용하여 서로 중복되지 않으면서 전력소모에 크게 기여하는 대표적인 성능 모니터링 이벤트들을 추출한다. 전력 예측 모델은 선택된 성능 모니터링 이벤트들이 독립변수가 되고 전력소모가 종속변수가 되는 회귀분석(regression analysis)을 수행하여 개발한다. 전력 예측 모델은 Intel XScale 아키텍처 기반의 PXA320 모바일 프로세서에 적용하여 평균 4% 이내의 에러율로 전력소모를 예측할 수 있음을 보인다.

This paper introduces the PC clustering of the SIMD structure for a distributed processing of on-line contingency to assess a static security of a power system. To execute on-line contingency analysis of a large-scale power system, we need to use high-speed execution device. Therefore, we constructed PC-cluster system using PC clustering method of the SIMD structure and applied to a power system, which relatively shows high quality on the high-speed execution and has a low price. SIMD(single instruction stream, multiple data stream) is a structure that processes are controlled by one signal. The PC cluster system is consisting of 8 PCs. Each PC employs the 2 GHz Pentium 4 CPU and is connected with the others through ethernet switch based fast ethernet. Also, we consider N-1 line contingency that have high potentiality of occurrence realistically. We propose the distributed process algorithm of the SIMD structure for reducing too much execution time on the on-line N-1 line contingency analysis in the large-scale power system. And we have verified a usefulness of the proposed algorithm and the constructed PC cluster system through IEEE 39 and 118 bus system.
