In Finland, customer class load profiles are used extensively in distribution network
calculation. State estimation systems, for example, use the load profiles to estimate the state …

The majority of distribution utilities do not have accurate information on the constituents of
their loads. This information is very useful in managing and planning the network …

With the addition of smart measurement devices to the electrical distribution system, it is
possible to record consumption data every hour of the day, or even in fractions of an hour …

The problem of optimal management of a water distribution system includes the
determination of the operation regime for each hydrophore station. The optimal operation of …

Clustering-based load profiling utilizes unsupervised machine learning algorithms to form
homogenous clusters composed by electricity load curves with similar characteristics. Due to …

As renewable power generation directly affects the customers' traditional electricity behavior
and then offsets the power load, this paper proposes a load curve modeling method for …

In this paper, a judging method of electric larceny in the name of power saving is proposed,
and the energy saving effect of typical power savers in the market is tested and compared by …

The clustering tool is ideal for scientific and engineering problems where no information
about the data structure is available. Usually, in load profiling applications no sufficient …

A determinação de perfis de consumo é um processo indispensável quer para planeamento
e operação do sistema elétrico, quer no funcionamento do mercado de energia elétrica. A …
