Stochastic Economic Dispatch Considering the Dependence of Multiple Wind Farms Using Multivariate Gaussian Kernel Copula

Wind farms usually cluster in areas with abundant wind resources.Therefore,spatial dependence of wind speeds among nearby wind farms should be taken into account when modeling a power system with large-scale wind power penetration.This paper proposes a novel non-parametric copula method,multivariate Gaussian kernel copula(MGKC),to describe the dependence structure of wind speeds among multiple wind farms.Wind speed scenarios considering the dependence among different wind farms are sampled from the MGKC by the quasi-Monte Carlo(QMC)method,so as to solve the stochastic economic dispatch(SED)problem,for which an improved meanvariance(MV)model is established,which targets at minimizing the expectation and risk of fuel cost simultaneously.In this model,confidence interval is applied in the wind speed to obtain more practical dispatch solutions by excluding extreme scenarios,for which the quantile-copula is proposed to construct the confidence interval constraint.Simulation studies are carried out on a modified IEEE 30-bus power system with wind farms integrated in two areas,and the results prove the superiority of the MGKC in formulating the dependence among different wind farms and the superiority of the improved MV model based on quantilecopula in determining a better dispatch solution.

Nonlinear industrial process fault diagnosis with latent label consistency and sparse Gaussian feature learning

With the increasing complexity of industrial processes, the high-dimensional industrial data exhibit a strong nonlinearity, bringing considerable challenges to the fault diagnosis of industrial processes. To efficiently extract deep meaningful features that are crucial for fault diagnosis, a sparse Gaussian feature extractor(SGFE) is designed to learn a nonlinear mapping that projects the raw data into the feature space with the fault label dimension. The feature space is described by the one-hot encoding of the fault category label as an orthogonal basis. In this way, the deep sparse Gaussian features related to fault categories can be gradually learned from the raw data by SGFE. In the feature space,the sparse Gaussian(SG) loss function is designed to constrain the distribution of features to multiple sparse multivariate Gaussian distributions. The sparse Gaussian features are linearly separable in the feature space, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the downstream fault classification task. The feasibility and practical utility of the proposed SGFE are verified by the handwritten digits MNIST benchmark and Tennessee-Eastman(TE) benchmark process,respectively.

In the end, a multivariate Gaussian distribution mathematical expression of background clutter image is given.

Build Gaussian Distribution Under Deep Features for Anomaly Detection and Localization

Anomaly detection in images has attracted a lot of attention in the field of computer vision.It aims at identifying images that deviate from the norm and segmenting the defect within images.However,anomalous samples are difficult to collect comprehensively,and labeled data is costly to obtain in many practical scenarios.We proposes a simple framework for unsupervised anomaly detection.Specifically,the proposed method directly employs CNN pre-trained on ImageNet to extract deep features from normal images and reduce dimensionality based on Principal Components Analysis(PCA),then build the distribution of normal features via the multivariate Gaussian(MVG),and determine whether the test image is an abnormal image according to Mahalanobis distance.We further investigate which features are most effective in detecting anomalies.Extensive experiments on the MVTec anomaly detection dataset show that the proposed method achieves 98.6%AUROC in image-level anomaly detection and outperforms previous methods by a large margin.

An Advanced Probabilistic Neural Network for the Design of Breakwater Armor Blocks

In this study, an advanced probabilistic neural network （APNN） method is proposed to reflect the global probability density function （PDF） by summing up the heterogeneous local PDF which is automatically determined in the individual standard deviation of variables. The APNN is applied to predict the stability number of armor blocks of breakwaters using the experimental data of＇ van der Meet, and the estimated results of the APNN are compared with those of an empirical formula and a previous artificial neural network （ANN） model. The APNN shows better results in predicting the stability number of armor bilks of breakwater and it provided the promising probabilistic viewpoints by using the individual standard deviation in a variable.

Joint Limit Distributions of Exceedances Point Processes and Partial Sums of Gaussian Vector Sequence

In this paper, we study the joint limit distributions of point processes of exceedances and partial sums of multivariate Gaussian sequences and show that the point processes and partial sums are asymptotically independent under some mild conditions. As a result, for a sequence of standardized stationary Gaussian vectors, we obtain that the point process of exceedances formed by the sequence （centered at the sample mean） converges in distribution to a Poisson process and it is asymptotically independent of the partial sums. The asymptotic joint limit distributions of order statistics and partial sums are also investigated under different conditions.

Probability hypothesis density filter with adaptive parameter estimation for tracking multiple maneuvering targets

The probability hypothesis density(PHD) filter has been recognized as a promising technique for tracking an unknown number of targets. The performance of the PHD filter, however, is sensitive to the available knowledge on model parameters such as the measurement noise variance and those associated with the changes in the maneuvering target trajectories. If these parameters are unknown in advance, the tracking performance may degrade greatly. To address this aspect, this paper proposes to incorporate the adaptive parameter estimation(APE) method in the PHD filter so that the model parameters, which may be static and/or time-varying, can be estimated jointly with target states. The resulting APE-PHD algorithm is implemented using the particle filter(PF), which leads to the PF-APE-PHD filter. Simulations show that the newly proposed algorithm can correctly identify the unknown measurement noise variances, and it is capable of tracking multiple maneuvering targets with abrupt changing parameters in a more robust manner, compared to the multi-model approaches.
