Load curve data from advanced metering infrastructure record the consumers’ behavior. User consumption models help one understand a more intelligent power provisioning and clustering the load data is one of the popular approaches for building these models. Similarity measurements are important in the clustering model, but, load curve data is a time series style data, and traditional measurement methods are not suitable for load curve data. To cluster the load curve data more accurately, this paper applied an enhanced Pearson similarity for load curve data clustering. Our method introduces the ‘trend alteration point’ concept and integrates it with the Pearson similarity. By introducing a weight for Pearson distance, this method helps to keep the whole contour of the load data and the partial similarity. Based on the weighed Pearson distance, a weighed Pearson-based hierarchy clustering algorithm is proposed. Years of load curve data are used for evaluation. Several user consumption models are found and analyzed. Results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of load data clustering.

This paper proposed a panel data clustering model based on D-vine and C-vine and supported a semiparametric estimation for parameters. These models include a two-step inference function for margins, two-step semiparameter estimation, and stepwise semiparametric estimation. In similarity measurement, similarity coefficients are constructed by a multivariate Hierarchical Nested Archimedean Copula (HNAC) model and compound PCC models, which are HNAC and D-vine compound model and HNAC and C-vine compound model. Estimation solutions and models evaluation are given for these models. In the case study, the clustering results of HNAC and D-vine compound model and HNAC and C-vine compound model are given, and the effect of different copula families on clustering results is also discussed. The result shows the models are effective and useful.

Background: Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) for the smart grid is growing rapidly which results in the exponential growth of data collected and transmitted in the device. By clustering this data, it can give the electricity company a better understanding of the personalized and differentiated needs of the user. Objective: The existing clustering algorithms for processing data generally have some problems, such as insufficient data utilization, high computational complexity and low accuracy of behavior recognition. Methods: In order to improve the clustering accuracy, this paper proposes a new clustering method based on the electrical behavior of the user. Starting with the analysis of user load characteristics, the user electricity data samples were constructed. The daily load characteristic curve was extracted through improved extreme learning machine clustering algorithm and effective index criteria. Moreover, clustering analysis was carried out for different users from industrial areas, commercial areas and residential areas. The improved extreme learning machine algorithm, also called Unsupervised Extreme Learning Machine (US-ELM), is an extension and improvement of the original Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), which realizes the unsupervised clustering task on the basis of the original ELM. Results: Four different data sets have been experimented and compared with other commonly used clustering algorithms by MATLAB programming. The experimental results show that the US-ELM algorithm has higher accuracy in processing power data. Conclusion: The unsupervised ELM algorithm can greatly reduce the time consumption and improve the effectiveness of clustering.

While urban-scale building energy modeling is becoming increasingly common, it currently lacks standards, guidelines, or empirical validation against measured data. Empirical validation necessary to enable best practices is becoming increasingly tractable. The growing prevalence of advanced metering infrastructure has led to significant data regarding the energy consumption within individual buildings, but is something utilities and countries are still struggling to analyze and use wisely. In partnership with the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga, Tennessee, a crude OpenStudio/EnergyPlus model of over 178,000 buildings has been created and used to compare simulated energy against actual, 15-min, whole-building electrical consumption of each building. In this study, classifying building type is treated as a use case for quantifying performance associated with smart meter data. This article attempts to provide guidance for working with advanced metering infrastructure for buildings related to: quality control, pathological data classifications, statistical metrics on performance, a methodology for classifying building types, and assess accuracy. Advanced metering infrastructure was used to collect whole-building electricity consumption for 178,333 buildings, define equations for common data issues (missing values, zeros, and spiking), propose a new method for assigning building type, and empirically validate gaps between real buildings and existing prototypes using industry-standard accuracy metrics.
