Dynamic grouping control of electric vehicles based on improved k-means algorithm for wind power fluctuations suppression

To address the significant lifecycle degradation and inadequate state of charge(SOC)balance of electric vehicles(EVs)when mitigating wind power fluctuations,a dynamic grouping control strategy is proposed for EVs based on an improved k-means algorithm.First,a swing door trending(SDT)algorithm based on compression result feedback was designed to extract the feature data points of wind power.The gating coefficient of the SDT was adjusted based on the compression ratio and deviation,enabling the acquisition of grid-connected wind power signals through linear interpolation.Second,a novel algorithm called IDOA-KM is proposed,which utilizes the Improved Dingo Optimization Algorithm(IDOA)to optimize the clustering centers of the k-means algorithm,aiming to address its dependence and sensitivity on the initial centers.The EVs were categorized into priority charging,standby,and priority discharging groups using the IDOA-KM.Finally,an two-layer power distribution scheme for EVs was devised.The upper layer determines the charging/discharging sequences of the three EV groups and their corresponding power signals.The lower layer allocates power signals to each EV based on the maximum charging/discharging power or SOC equalization principles.The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in accurately tracking grid power signals,smoothing wind power fluctuations,mitigating EV degradation,and enhancing the SOC balance.

Genetic Algorithm Combined with the K-Means Algorithm:A Hybrid Technique for Unsupervised Feature Selection

The dimensionality of data is increasing very rapidly,which creates challenges for most of the current mining and learning algorithms,such as large memory requirements and high computational costs.The literature includes much research on feature selection for supervised learning.However,feature selection for unsupervised learning has only recently been studied.Finding the subset of features in unsupervised learning that enhances the performance is challenging since the clusters are indeterminate.This work proposes a hybrid technique for unsupervised feature selection called GAk-MEANS,which combines the genetic algorithm(GA)approach with the classical k-Means algorithm.In the proposed algorithm,a new fitness func-tion is designed in addition to new smart crossover and mutation operators.The effectiveness of this algorithm is demonstrated on various datasets.Fur-thermore,the performance of GAk-MEANS has been compared with other genetic algorithms,such as the genetic algorithm using the Sammon Error Function and the genetic algorithm using the Sum of Squared Error Function.Additionally,the performance of GAk-MEANS is compared with the state-of-the-art statistical unsupervised feature selection techniques.Experimental results show that GAk-MEANS consistently selects subsets of features that result in better classification accuracy compared to others.In particular,GAk-MEANS is able to significantly reduce the size of the subset of selected features by an average of 86.35%(72%–96.14%),which leads to an increase of the accuracy by an average of 3.78%(1.05%–6.32%)compared to using all features.When compared with the genetic algorithm using the Sammon Error Function,GAk-MEANS is able to reduce the size of the subset of selected features by 41.29%on average,improve the accuracy by 5.37%,and reduce the time by 70.71%.When compared with the genetic algorithm using the Sum of Squared Error Function,GAk-MEANS on average is able to reduce the size of the subset of selected features by 15.91%,and improve the accuracy by 9.81%,but the time is increased by a factor of 3.When compared with the machine-learning based methods,we observed that GAk-MEANS is able to increase the accuracy by 13.67%on average with an 88.76%average increase in time.

Improvement of energy resolution of x-ray transition-edge sensor using K-means algorithm and Wiener filter

We develop an x-ray Ti/Au transition-edge sensor(TES)with an Au absorber deposited on the center of TES and improved its energy resolution using the K-means clustering algorithm in combination with Wiener filter.We firstly extract the main parameters of each recorded pulse trace,which are adopted to classify these traces into several clusters in the K-means clustering algorithm.Then real traces are selected for energy resolution analysis.Following the baseline correction,the Wiener filter is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.Although the silicon underneath the TES has not been etched to reduce the thermal conductance,the energy resolution of the developed x-ray TES is improved from 94 eV to 44 eV at 5.9 keV.

Estimating wheat fractional vegetation cover using a density peak k-means algorithm based on hyperspectral image data

Fractional vegetation cover(FVC)is an important parameter to measure crop growth.In studies of crop growth monitoring,it is very important to extract FVC quickly and accurately.As the most widely used FVC extraction method,the photographic method has the advantages of simple operation and high extraction accuracy.However,when soil moisture and acquisition times vary,the extraction results are less accurate.To accommodate various conditions of FVC extraction,this study proposes a new FVC extraction method that extracts FVC from a normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)greyscale image of wheat by using a density peak k-means(DPK-means)algorithm.In this study,Yangfumai 4(YF4)planted in pots and Yangmai 16(Y16)planted in the field were used as the research materials.With a hyperspectral imaging camera mounted on a tripod,ground hyperspectral images of winter wheat under different soil conditions(dry and wet)were collected at 1 m above the potted wheat canopy.Unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)hyperspectral images of winter wheat at various stages were collected at 50 m above the field wheat canopy by a UAV equipped with a hyperspectral camera.The pixel dichotomy method and DPK-means algorithm were used to classify vegetation pixels and non-vegetation pixels in NDVI greyscale images of wheat,and the extraction effects of the two methods were compared and analysed.The results showed that extraction by pixel dichotomy was influenced by the acquisition conditions and its error distribution was relatively scattered,while the extraction effect of the DPK-means algorithm was less affected by the acquisition conditions and its error distribution was concentrated.The absolute values of error were 0.042 and 0.044,the root mean square errors(RMSE)were 0.028 and 0.030,and the fitting accuracy R2 of the FVC was 0.87 and 0.93,under dry and wet soil conditions and under various time conditions,respectively.This study found that the DPK-means algorithm was capable of achieving more accurate results than the pixel dichotomy method in various soil and time conditions and was an accurate and robust method for FVC extraction.

A Hybrid Method Combining Improved K-means Algorithm with BADA Model for Generating Nominal Flight Profiles

A high-precision nominal flight profile,involving controllers′intentions is critical for 4Dtrajectory estimation in modern automatic air traffic control systems.We proposed a novel method to effectively improve the accuracy of the nominal flight profile,including the nominal altitude profile and the speed profile.First,considering the characteristics of trajectory data,we developed an improved K-means algorithm.The approach was to measure the similarity between different altitude profiles by integrating the space warp edit distance algorithm,thereby to acquire several fitted nominal flight altitude profiles.This approach breaks the constraints of traditional K-means algorithms.Second,to eliminate the influence of meteorological factors,we introduced historical gridded binary data to determine the en-route wind speed and temperature via inverse distance weighted interpolation.Finally,we facilitated the true airspeed determined by speed triangle relationships and the calibrated airspeed determined by aircraft data model to extract a more accurate nominal speed profile from each cluster,therefore we could describe the airspeed profiles above and below the airspeed transition altitude,respectively.Our experimental results showed that the proposed method could obtain a highly accurate nominal flight profile,which reflects the actual aircraft flight status.

To deal with the problem caused by the random selection of initial center points in the traditional al- gorithm, this paper proposes an improved K-means algorithm based on the similarity matrix. The im- proved algorithm can effectively avoid the random selection of initial center points, therefore it can provide effective initial points for clustering process, and reduce the fluctuation of clustering results which are resulted from initial points selections, thus a better clustering quality can be obtained. The experimental results also show that the F-measure of the improved K-means algorithm has been greatly improved and the clustering results are more stable.

A Nonuniform Clustering Routing Algorithm Based on an Improved K-Means Algorithm

In a large-scale wireless sensor network(WSN),densely distributed sensor nodes process a large amount of data.The aggregation of data in a network can consume a great amount of energy.To balance and reduce the energy consumption of nodes in a WSN and extend the network life,this paper proposes a nonuniform clustering routing algorithm based on the improved K-means algorithm.The algorithm uses a clustering method to form and optimize clusters,and it selects appropriate cluster heads to balance network energy consumption and extend the life cycle of the WSN.To ensure that the cluster head(CH)selection in the network is fair and that the location of the selected CH is not concentrated within a certain range,we chose the appropriate CH competition radius.Simulation results show that,compared with LEACH,LEACH-C,and the DEEC clustering algorithm,this algorithm can effectively balance the energy consumption of the CH and extend the network life.

Multiple Parameter Based Clustering (MPC): Prospective Analysis for Effective Clustering in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Using K-Means Algorithm

In wireless sensor network cluster architecture is useful because of its inherent suitability for data fusion. In this paper we represent a new approach called Multiple Parameter based Clustering (MPC) embedded with the traditional k-means algorithm which takes different parameters (Node energy level, Euclidian distance from the base station, RSSI, Latency of data to reach base station) into consideration to form clusters. Then the effectiveness of the clusters is evaluated based on the uniformity of the node distribution, Node range per cluster, Intra and Inter cluster distance and required energy level of each centroid. Our result shows that by varying multiple parameters we can create clusters with more uniformly distributed nodes, minimize intra and maximize inter cluster distance and elect less power consuming centroid.

Enhanced KOCED Routing Protocol with K-means Algorithm

Replacing or recharging batteries in the sensor nodes of a wireless sensor network(WSN)is a significant challenge.Therefore,efficient power utilization by sensors is a critical requirement,and it is closely related to the life span of the network.Once a sensor node consumes all its energy,it will no longer function properly.Therefore,various protocols have been proposed to minimize the energy consumption of sensors and thus prolong the network operation.Recently,clustering algorithms combined with artificial intelligence have been proposed for this purpose.In particular,various protocols employ the K-means clustering algorithm,which is a machine learning method.The number of clustering configurations required by the K-means clustering algorithm is greater than that required by the hierarchical algorithm.Further,the selection of the cluster heads considers only the residual energy of the nodes without accounting for the transmission distance to the base station.In terms of energy consumption,the residual energy of each node,the transmission distance,the cluster head location,and the central relative position within the cluster should be considered simultaneously.In this paper,we propose the KOCED(K-means with Optimal clustering for WSN considering Centrality,Energy,and Distance)protocol,which considers the residual energy of nodes as well as the distances to the central point of the cluster and the base station.A performance comparison shows that the KOCED protocol outperforms the LEACH protocol by 259%(223 rounds)for first node dead(FND)and 164%(280 rounds)with 80%alive nodes.

Parallel K-Means Algorithm for Shared Memory Multiprocessors

Clustering is the task of assigning a set of instances into groups in such a way that is dissimilarity of instances within each group is minimized. Clustering is widely used in several areas such as data mining, pattern recognition, machine learning, image processing, computer vision and etc. K-means is a popular clustering algorithm which partitions instances into a fixed number clusters in an iterative fashion. Although k-means is considered to be a poor clustering algorithm in terms of result quality, due to its simplicity, speed on practical applications, and iterative nature it is selected as one of the top 10 algorithms in data mining [1]. Parallelization of k-means is also studied during the last 2 decades. Most of these work concentrate on shared-nothing architectures. With the advent of current technological advances on GPU technology, implementation of the k-means algorithm on shared memory architectures recently start to attract some attention. However, to the best of our knowledge, no in-depth analysis on the performance of k-means on shared memory multiprocessors is done in the literature. In this work, our aim is to fill this gap by providing theoretical analysis on the performance of k-means algorithm and presenting extensive tests on a shared memory architecture.

深度学习中神经网络的性能依赖于高质量的样本,然而噪声标签会降低网络的分类准确率。为降低噪声标签对网络性能的影响,噪声标签学习算法被提出。该算法首先将训练样本集划分成干净样本集和噪声样本集,然后使用半监督学习算法对噪声样本集赋予伪标签。然而,错误的伪标签以及训练样本数量不足的问题仍然限制着噪声标签学习算法性能的提升。为解决上述问题,提出基于K-means聚类和特征空间增强的噪声标签深度学习算法。首先,该算法利用K-means聚类算法对干净样本集进行标签聚类,并根据噪声样本集与聚类中心的距离大小筛选出难以分类的噪声样本,以提高训练样本的质量;其次,使用mixup算法扩充干净样本集和噪声样本集,以增加训练样本的数量;最后,采用特征空间增强算法抑制mixup算法新生成的噪声样本,从而提高网络的分类准确率。并在CIFAR10、CIFAR100、MNIST和ANIMAL-10共4个数据集上试验验证了该算法的有效性。

基于K-Means聚类与熵权TOPSIS法的岩石可爆性评价研究

露天矿山的爆破块度分布,直接影响到后续的采装、运输和破碎工作。为了控制石墨矿山不同区域爆破块度分布,基于K-means无监督聚类学习法与熵权TOPSIS评价法建立了一种新的岩石可爆性评价模型,选取岩石密度、动力能量耗散率、动态抗压强度、平均应变率、脆性指数作为评价指标,通过熵权计算,发现岩石破碎程度受脆性指数影响最大,受平均应变率影响最小。将此模型应用于实际石墨矿山,可爆性分为10个等级,统计不同分级下的岩石平均破碎粒径,发现可爆性分级等级越高平均粒径越大,有明显的分级特征,验证了模型的有效性。从爆破石墨矿石岩体类型看,岩石可爆性从易到难排序为:片岩、片麻岩、变粒岩、混合岩。结合石墨矿石微观观测结果分析可知:岩性从片岩向混合岩转变,岩石内部石墨晶质呈下降趋势,石墨矿石可爆性等级也随之越来越高。岩石密度、能量耗散率、动态抗压强度之间呈线性正相关,岩石可爆性与平均应变率、脆性指数存在负相关性。研究成果为矿山矿岩可爆性评价提供了一条新思路,对露天矿山爆破块度优化具有一定的理论和实践指导意义。

现有的深度聚类算法大多采用对称的自编码器来提取高维数据的低维特征,但随着自编码器训练次数的不断增加,数据的低维特征空间在一定程度上发生了扭曲,这样得到的数据低维特征空间无法反映原始数据空间中潜在的聚类结构信息.为了解决上述问题,本文提出了一种新的深度嵌入K-means算法(SDEKC).首先,在低维特征提取阶段,在对称的卷积自编码器中相对应的编码器与解码器之间以一定的权重加入两个跳跃连接,以减弱解码器对编码器的编码要求同时突出卷积自编码器的编码能力,这样可以更好地保留原始数据空间中蕴含的聚类结构信息;其次,在聚类阶段,通过一个标准正交变换矩阵将低维数据空间转换为一个新的揭示聚类结构信息的空间;最后,本文以端到端的方式采用贪婪算法迭代优化数据的低维表示及其聚类,在6个真实数据集上验证了本文提出新算法的有效性.
