PReS: Power Peak Reduction by Real-time Scheduling for Urban Railway Transit
Railway transportation is one of the most popular options for Urban Massive Transportation Systems (UMTS) because of many attractive features. A robust electric power supply is essential to enable normal operation. However, the power peaks appearing at the start time of the vehicles put heavy pressure on the power grid. Reduction of the power peak is a key issue in improving urban railway transit's power efficiency. Researchers have tried to address this problem by making a delicate timetable, but this method often failed to serve the purpose because of the punctuality problem. In this work, taking advantage of real-time estimation of the single train's power consumption, an online Power peak Reduction by real-time Scheduling (PReS) solution for trains' departure is proposed. Particularly, a Binary Integer Programming (BIP) model is introduced that is able to avoid power consumption peak caused by multiple trains departure simultaneously. The simulation result verified that the proposed real-time scheduling approach can effectively reduce the occurrences of power peak without bringing in additional train travel delay.

A Novel Demand Response Model and Method for Peak Reduction in Smart Grids -- PowerTAC
One of the widely used peak reduction methods in smart grids is demand response, where one analyzes the shift in customers' (agents') usage patterns in response to the signal from the distribution company. Often, these s…
Practical Active Noise Control: Restriction of Maximum Output Power
This paper presents some recent algorithms developed by the authors for real-time adaptive active noise (AANC) control systems. These algorithms address some of the common challenges faced by AANC systems, such as speake…
Optimal Online Algorithms for Peak-Demand Reduction Maximization with Energy Storage
The high proportions of demand charges in electric bills motivate large-power customers to leverage energy storage for reducing the peak procurement from the outer grid. Given limited energy storage, we expect to maximiz…
Decision MakingPricing Mechanisms versus Non-Pricing Mechanisms for Demand Side Management in Microgrids
In this paper, we compare pricing and non-pricing mechanisms for implementing demand-side management (DSM) mechanisms in a neighborhood in Helsinki, Finland. We compare load steering based on peak load-reduction using th…
