Method And Apparatus For Detecting Abnormal Traffic Based On Convolutional Autoencoder

A method of supporting collection of demand resources among electricity consumers in a micro grid may include: selecting a number of demand resource participating customers that are greater than or equal to a predetermined number of households and verifying electricity consumption types for the selected participating customers; calculating electricity consumption patterns and electricity consumption fluctuation rates for the customers who have passed the electricity consumption type verification; assessing potential reduction amounts for the customers who have passed the fluctuation rate calculation; checking whether the number of participating customers is greater than or equal to the predetermined number of households according to demand resource registration criteria and the sum of potential reduction amounts of participating customers satisfies a requirement for a demand reduction amount; and calculating a customer baseline load that maximizes a reduction amount of a customer using customer baseline load calculation methods when a demand resource is configured.

2 Independent Claims

  • 1. An apparatus for supporting collection of demand resources among electricity consumers in a micro grid, the apparatus comprising: an electricity consumption type verification unit configured to measure an accuracy of reduction amount assessment for a customer, who participates as a demand resource among electricity consumers, to thereby verify whether the customer is employable as a demand resource customer; an electricity consumption pattern estimation unit configured to estimate an electricity consumption pattern of the customer; an electricity consumption fluctuation rate calculating unit configured to calculate an electricity consumption fluctuation rate of the customer using the electricity consumption pattern; a potential reduction amount assessment unit configured to a potential reduction amount of the customer using the electricity consumption pattern; a demand resource registration criteria check unit configured to check whether the sum of potential reduction amounts of the customers for whom the assessment is completed by the potential reduction amount assessment unit satisfies demand resource registration criteria; a customer baseline load calculation unit configured to calculate, for the customers satisfying the demand resource registration criteria, customer baseline loads by project profitability is maximized; and a customer baseline load calculation result output unit configured to output a result of the calculation by the customer baseline load calculation unit using a chart and a details table.

  • 13. A method of supporting collection of demand resources among electricity consumers in a micro grid, the method comprising: selecting, by an electricity consumption type verification unit, a number of demand resource participating customers that are greater than or equal to a predetermined number of households and verifying electricity consumption types for the selected participating customers; calculating, by an electricity consumption pattern estimation unit and an electricity consumption fluctuation rate calculation unit, electricity consumption patterns and electricity consumption fluctuation rates, respectively, for the customers who have passed the electricity consumption type verification; assessing, by a potential reduction amount assessment unit, potential reduction amounts for the customers who have passed the electricity consumption fluctuation rate calculation; checking, by a demand resource registration criteria check unit, whether the number of participating customers is greater than or equal to the predetermined number of households according to demand resource registration criteria and the sum of potential reduction amounts of participating customers satisfies a requirement for a demand reduction amount; and calculating, by a customer baseline load calculation unit, a customer baseline load that maximizes a reduction amount of a customer using one or more customer baseline load calculation methods that is selectable for each customer satisfying the demand resource registration criteria when a demand resource is configured.
