Electricity price forecasting has become an integral part of power system operation and control. In this paper, a wavelet transform (WT) based neural network (NN) model to forecast price profile in a deregulated electricity market has been presented. The historical price data has been decomposed into wavelet domain constitutive sub series using WT and then combined with the other time domain variables to form the set of input variables for the proposed forecasting model. The behavior of the wavelet domain constitutive series has been studied based on statistical analysis. It has been observed that forecasting accuracy can be improved by the use of WT in a forecasting model. Multi-scale analysis from one to seven levels of decomposition has been performed and the empirical evidence suggests that accuracy improvement is highest at third level of decomposition. Forecasting performance of the proposed model has been compared with (i) a heuristic technique, (ii) a simulation model used by Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), (iii) a Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) model, (iv) NN model, (v) Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model, (vi) Dynamic Regression (DR) model, and (vii) Transfer Function (TF) model. Forecasting results show that the performance of the proposed WT based NN model is satisfactory and it can be used by the participants to respond properly as it predicts price before closing of window for submission of initial bids.

A versatile micro-robotic platform for micro/nano scale assembly has been demanded in a variety of application areas such as micro-biology and nanotechnology. In the near future, a flexible and compact platform could be effectively used in a scanning electron microscope chamber. We are developing a platform that consists of miniature mobile robots and a compact positioning stage with multi degree-of-freedom. This paper presents the design and the implementation of a low-cost and compact multi degree of freedom position sensor that is capable of measuring absolute translational and rotational displacement. The proposed sensor is implemented by using a CMOS type image sensor and a target with specific hole patterns. Experimental design based on statistics was applied to finding optimal design of the target. Efficient algorithms for image processing and absolute position decoding are discussed. Simple calibration to eliminate the influence of inaccuracy of the fabricated target on the measuring performance also presented. The developed sensor was characterized by using a laser interferometer. It can be concluded that the sensor system has submicron resolution and accuracy of ${\pm}4{\mu}m$ over full travel range. The proposed vision-based sensor is cost-effective and used as a compact feedback device for implementation of a micro robotic platform.

다양한 신호가 혼합된 수중 신호로부터 각각의 신호를 분리하는 기술은 오랫동안 연구되어왔지만, 낮은 품질의 수중 신호의 특성 상 쉽게 해결되지 않는 문제이다. 현재 주로 사용되는 방법은 Short-time Fourier transform을 사용하여 수신된 음향신호의 스펙트로그램을 얻은 뒤, 주파수의 특성을 분석하여 신호를 분리하는 기술이다. 하지만 매개변수의 최적화가 까다롭고, 스펙트로그램으로 변환하는 과정에서 위상 정보들이 손실되는 한계점이 지적되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 긴 시계열 신호 처리에서 좋은 성능을 보인 Dual-path Recurrent Neural Network을 기반으로, 다중 채널 센서로부터 생성된 입력신호인 3차원 텐서를 처리할 수 있도록 변형된 Tripple-path Recurrent Neural Network을 제안한다. 제안하는 기술은 먼저 다중 채널 입력 신호를 짧은 조각으로 분할하고 조각 내 신호 간, 구성된 조각간, 그리고 채널 신호 간의 각각의 관계를 고려한 3차원 텐서를 생성하여 로컬 및 글로벌 특성을 학습한다. 제안된 기법은, 기존 방법에 비해 개선된 Root Mean Square Error 값과 Scale Invariant Signal to Noise Ratio을 가짐을 확인하였다.
