Analysis of Electricity Consumption Pattern Clustering and Electricity Consumption Behavior

Studying user electricity consumption behavior is crucial for understanding their power usage patterns.However,the traditional clustering methods fail to identify emerging types of electricity consumption behavior.To address this issue,this paper introduces a statistical analysis of clusters and evaluates the set of indicators for power usage patterns.The fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is then used to analyze 6 months of electricity consumption data in 2017 from energy storage equipment,agricultural drainage irrigation,port shore power,and electric vehicles.Finally,the proposed method is validated through experiments,where the Davies-Bouldin index and profile coefficient are calculated and compared.Experiments showed that the optimal number of clusters is 4.This study demonstrates the potential of using a fuzzy C-means clustering algorithmin identifying emerging types of electricity consumption behavior,which can help power system operators and policymakers to make informed decisions and improve energy efficiency.

Fuzzy cluster analysis of water mass in the western Taiwan Strait in spring 2019

The classification of the springtime water mass has an important influence on the hydrography,regional climate change and fishery in the Taiwan Strait.Based on 58 stations of CTD profiling data collected in the western and southwestern Taiwan Strait during the spring cruise of 2019,we analyze the spatial distributions of temperature(T)and salinity(S)in the investigation area.Then by using the fuzzy cluster method combined with the T-S similarity number,we classify the investigation area into 5 water masses:the Minzhe Coastal Water(MZCW),the Taiwan Strait Mixed Water(TSMW),the South China Sea Surface Water(SCSSW),the South China Sea Subsurface Water(SCSUW)and the Kuroshio Branch Water(KBW).The MZCW appears in the near surface layer along the western coast of Taiwan Strait,showing low-salinity(<32.0)tongues near the Minjiang River Estuary and the Xiamen Bay mouth.The TSMW covers most upper layer of the investigation area.The SCSSW is mainly distributed in the upper layer of the southwestern Taiwan Strait,beneath which is the SCSUW.The KBW is a high temperature(core value of 26.36℃)and high salinity(core value of 34.62)water mass located southeast of the Taiwan Bank and partially in the central Taiwan Strait.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICABILITY OF FUZZY CLUSTERING IN ESTABLISHING AN INDEX FOR THE EVALUATION OF METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE SATISFACTION

An evaluation index is a prerequisite for the scientific evaluation of a public meteorological service.This paper aims to explore a technical method for determining and screening evaluation indicators.Based on public satisfaction survey data obtained in Wafangdian,China in 2010,this study investigates the suitability of fuzzy clustering analysis method in establishing an evaluation index.Through quantitative analysis of multilayer fuzzy clustering of various evaluation indicators,correlation analysis indicates that if the results of clustering were identical for two evaluation indicators in the same sub-evaluation layer,then one indicator could be removed,or the two indicators merged.For evaluation indicators in different sub-evaluation layers,although clustering reveals attribute correlations,these indicators may not be substituted for one another.Analysis of the applicability of the fuzzy clustering method shows that it plays a certain role in the establishment and correction of an evaluation index.

Fuzzy c-means text clustering based on topic concept sub-space

To improve the accuracy of text clustering, fuzzy c-means clustering based on topic concept sub-space （TCS2FCM） is introduced for classifying texts. Five evaluation functions are combined to extract key phrases. Concept phrases, as well as the descriptions of final clusters, are presented using WordNet origin from key phrases. Initial centers and membership matrix are the most important factors affecting clustering performance. Orthogonal concept topic sub-spaces are built with the topic concept phrases representing topics of the texts and the initialization of centers and the membership matrix depend on the concept vectors in sub-spaces. The results show that, different from random initialization of traditional fuzzy c-means clustering, the initialization related to text content contributions can improve clustering precision.

gscaLCA in R: Fitting Fuzzy Clustering Analysis Incorporated with Generalized Structured Component Analysis

Clustering analysis identifying unknown heterogenous subgroups of a population(or a sample)has become increasingly popular along with the popularity of machine learning techniques.Although there are many software packages running clustering analysis,there is a lack of packages conducting clustering analysis within a structural equation modeling framework.The package,gscaLCA which is implemented in the R statistical computing environment,was developed for conducting clustering analysis and has been extended to a latent variable modeling.More specifically,by applying both fuzzy clustering(FC)algorithm and generalized structured component analysis(GSCA),the package gscaLCA computes membership prevalence and item response probabilities as posterior probabilities,which is applicable in mixture modeling such as latent class analysis in statistics.As a hybrid model between data clustering in classifications and model-based mixture modeling approach,fuzzy clusterwise GSCA,denoted as gscaLCA,encompasses many advantages from both methods:(1)soft partitioning from FC and(2)efficiency in estimating model parameters with bootstrap method via resolution of global optimization problem from GSCA.The main function,gscaLCA,works for both binary and ordered categorical variables.In addition,gscaLCA can be used for latent class regression as well.Visualization of profiles of latent classes based on the posterior probabilities is also available in the package gscaLCA.This paper contributes to providing a methodological tool,gscaLCA that applied researchers such as social scientists and medical researchers can apply clustering analysis in their research.

ALLIED FUZZY c-MEANS CLUSTERING MODEL

A novel model of fuzzy clustering, i.e. an allied fuzzy c means （AFCM） model is proposed based on the combination of advantages of fuzzy c means （FCM） and possibilistic c means （PCM） clustering. PCM is sensitive to initializations and often generates coincident clusters. AFCM overcomes this shortcoming and it is an ex tension of PCM. Membership and typicality values can be simultaneously produced in AFCM. Experimental re- suits show that noise data can be well processed, coincident clusters are avoided and clustering accuracy is better.

Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm Based on Density Canopy and Manifold Learning

Fuzzy C-Means(FCM)is an effective and widely used clustering algorithm,but there are still some problems.considering the number of clusters must be determined manually,the local optimal solutions is easily influenced by the random selection of initial cluster centers,and the performance of Euclid distance in complex high-dimensional data is poor.To solve the above problems,the improved FCM clustering algorithm based on density Canopy and Manifold learning(DM-FCM)is proposed.First,a density Canopy algorithm based on improved local density is proposed to automatically deter-mine the number of clusters and initial cluster centers,which improves the self-adaptability and stability of the algorithm.Then,considering that high-dimensional data often present a nonlinear structure,the manifold learning method is applied to construct a manifold spatial structure,which preserves the global geometric properties of complex high-dimensional data and improves the clustering effect of the algorithm on complex high-dimensional datasets.Fowlkes-Mallows Index(FMI),the weighted average of homogeneity and completeness(V-measure),Adjusted Mutual Information(AMI),and Adjusted Rand Index(ARI)are used as performance measures of clustering algorithms.The experimental results show that the manifold learning method is the superior distance measure,and the algorithm improves the clustering accuracy and performs superiorly in the clustering of low-dimensional and complex high-dimensional data.

Power Incomplete Data Clustering Based on Fuzzy Fusion Algorithm

With the rapid development of the economy,the scale of the power grid is expanding.The number of power equipment that constitutes the power grid has been very large,which makes the state data of power equipment grow explosively.These multi-source heterogeneous data have data differences,which lead to data variation in the process of transmission and preservation,thus forming the bad information of incomplete data.Therefore,the research on data integrity has become an urgent task.This paper is based on the characteristics of random chance and the Spatio-temporal difference of the system.According to the characteristics and data sources of the massive data generated by power equipment,the fuzzy mining model of power equipment data is established,and the data is divided into numerical and non-numerical data based on numerical data.Take the text data of power equipment defects as the mining material.Then,the Apriori algorithm based on an array is used to mine deeply.The strong association rules in incomplete data of power equipment are obtained and analyzed.From the change trend of NRMSE metrics and classification accuracy,most of the filling methods combined with the two frameworks in this method usually show a relatively stable filling trend,and will not fluctuate greatly with the growth of the missing rate.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm model can effectively improve the filling effect of the existing filling methods on most data sets,and the filling effect fluctuates greatly with the increase of the missing rate,that is,with the increase of the missing rate,the improvement effect of the model for the existing filling methods is higher than 4.3%.Through the incomplete data clustering technology studied in this paper,a more innovative state assessment of smart grid reliability operation is carried out,which has good research value and reference significance.

A New Method of Wind Turbine Bearing Fault Diagnosis Based on Multi-Masking Empirical Mode Decomposition and Fuzzy C-Means Clustering

Based on Multi-Masking Empirical Mode Decomposition (MMEMD) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering, a new method of wind turbine bearing fault diagnosis FCM-MMEMD is proposed, which can determine the fault accurately and timely. First, FCM clustering is employed to classify the data into different clusters, which helps to estimate whether there is a fault and how many fault types there are. If fault signals exist, the fault vibration signals are then demodulated and decomposed into different frequency bands by MMEMD in order to be analyzed further. In order to overcome the mode mixing defect of empirical mode decomposition (EMD), a novel method called MMEMD is proposed. It is an improvement to masking empirical mode decomposition (MEMD). By adding multi-masking signals to the signals to be decomposed in different levels, it can restrain low-frequency components from mixing in highfrequency components effectively in the sifting process and then suppress the mode mixing. It has the advantages of easy implementation and strong ability of suppressing modal mixing. The fault type is determined by Hilbert envelope finally. The results of simulation signal decomposition showed the high performance of MMEMD. Experiments of bearing fault diagnosis in wind turbine bearing fault diagnosis proved the validity and high accuracy of the new method.

Power interconnected system clustering with advanced fuzzy C-mean algorithm

An advanced fuzzy C-mean （FCM） algorithm was proposed for the efficient regional clustering of multi-nodes interconnected systems. Due to various locational prices and regional coherencies for each node and point, modified similarity measure was considered to gather nodes having similar characteristics. The similarity measure was needed to contain locafi0nal prices as well as regional coherency. In order to consider the two properties simultaneously, distance measure of fuzzy C-mean algorithm had to be modified. Regional clustering algorithm for interconnected power systems was designed based on the modified fuzzy C-mean algorithm. The proposed algorithm produces proper classification for the interconnected power system and the results are demonstrated in the example of IEEE 39-bus interconnected electricity system.

New two-dimensional fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm for image segmentation

To solve the problem of poor anti-noise performance of the traditional fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm in image segmentation, a novel two-dimensional FCM clustering algorithm for image segmentation was proposed. In this method, the image segmentation was converted into an optimization problem. The fitness function containing neighbor information was set up based on the gray information and the neighbor relations between the pixels described by the improved two-dimensional histogram. By making use of the global searching ability of the predator-prey particle swarm optimization, the optimal cluster center could be obtained by iterative optimization, and the image segmentation could be accomplished. The simulation results show that the segmentation accuracy ratio of the proposed method is above 99%. The proposed algorithm has strong anti-noise capability, high clustering accuracy and good segment effect, indicating that it is an effective algorithm for image segmentation.

Watershed classification by remote sensing indices： A fuzzy c-means clustering approach

Determining the relatively similar hydrological properties of the watersheds is very crucial in order to readily classify them for management practices such as flood and soil erosion control. This study aimed to identify homogeneous hydrological watersheds using remote sensing data in western Iran. To achieve this goal, remote sensing indices including SAVI, LAI, NDMI, NDVI and snow cover, were extracted from MODIS data over the period 2000 to 2015. Then, a fuzzy method was used to clustering the watersheds based on the extracted indices. A fuzzy c-mean(FCM) algorithm enabled to classify 38 watersheds in three homogeneous groups.The optimal number of clusters was determined through evaluation of partition coefficient, partition entropy function and trial and error. The results indicated three homogeneous regions identified by the fuzzy c-mean clustering and remote sensing product which are consistent with the variations of topography and climate of the study area. Inherently,the grouped watersheds have similar hydrological properties and are likely to need similar management considerations and measures.
