A review of the enabling methodologies for knowledge discovery from smart grids data
The large-scale deployment of pervasive sensors and decentralized computing in modern smart
grids is expected to exponentially increase the volume of data exchanged by power system applications.
In this context, the research for scalable and flexible methodologies aimed at supporting rapid decisions
in a data rich, but information limited environment represents a relevant issue to address. To this aim,
this paper investigates the role of Knowledge Discovery from massive Datasets in smart grid computing,
exploring its various application fields by considering the power system stakeholder available data and
knowledge extraction needs. In particular, the aim of this paper is dual. In the first part, the authors
summarize the most recent activities developed in this field by the Task Force on “Enabling Paradigms
for High-Performance Computing in Wide Area Monitoring Protective and Control Systems” of the
IEEE PSOPE Technologies and Innovation Subcommittee. Differently, in the second part, the authors
propose the development of a data-driven forecasting methodology, which is modeled by considering
the fundamental principles of Knowledge Discovery Process data workflow. Furthermore, the described
methodology is applied to solve the load forecasting problem for a complex user case, in order to
emphasize the potential role of knowledge discovery in supporting post processing analysis in data-rich
environments, as feedback for the improvement of the forecasting performances
Data Mining in Smart Grids
Effective smart grid operation requires rapid decisions in a data-rich, but information-limited, environment. In this context, grid sensor data-streaming cannot provide the system operators with the necessary information to act on in the time frames necessary to minimize the impact of the disturbances. Even if there are fast models that can convert the data into information, the smart grid operator must deal with the challenge of not having a full understanding of the context of the information, and, therefore, the information content cannot be used with any high degree of confidence. To address this issue, data mining has been recognized as the most promising enabling technology for improving decision-making processes, providing the right information at the right moment to the right decision-maker. This Special Issue is focused on emerging methodologies for data mining in smart grids. In this area, it addresses many relevant topics, ranging from methods for uncertainty management, to advanced dispatching. This Special Issue not only focuses on methodological breakthroughs and roadmaps in implementing the methodology, but also presents the much-needed sharing of the best practices. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Fuzziness in smart grids computing Emerging techniques for renewable energy forecasting Robust and proactive solution of optimal smart grids operation Fuzzy-based smart grids monitoring and control frameworks Granular computing for uncertainty management in smart grids Self-organizing and decentralized paradigms for information processin
