Classifying electricity customers based on real power consumptions has been particularly important in the last decade following the liberalization of the electricity markets in numerous countries and ubiquitous use of Automatic Meter Reading devices that collect consumption data at hourly intervals. Collection of vast amounts of consumption data has made it possible to identify customer classes by clustering. Classification of customer load profiles provides the basis of several applications offering solutions to encountered problems in the area. Dedicated tariff design, load forecasting and fraud detection are among deployable applications. Evaluated scalability of the methods reveals an implicit estimation about the size of local regions to which the framework can be applied within reasonable time. Forming further relations among local regions holding consumption data may be useful in developing national energy policies. This study covers a comprehensive scope of the recent work in the problem domain and puts forward foundations of corresponding applications by processing real consumption data of customers of an electricity distribution company in Turkey.

On the parametric and nonparametric prediction methods for electricity load forecasting Erişen, Esra; İyigün, Cem; Department of Industrial Engineering (2013) Accurate electricity load forecasting is of great importance in deregulated electricity markets. Market participants can reap significant financial benefits by improving their electricity load forecasts. Electricity load exhibits a complex time series structure with nonlinear relationships between the variables. Hence, new models with higher capabilities to capture such nonlinear relationships need to be developed and tested. In this thesis, we present a parametric and a nonparametric method for short-term ...
Price based unit commitment with reserve considerations Okuşluğ, Ali; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, Osman Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) In electricity markets of modern electric power systems, many generation companies, as major market participants, aim to maximize their profits by supplying the electrical load in a competitive manner. This thesis is devoted to investigate the price based unit commitment problem which is used to optimize generation schedules of these companies in deregulated electricity markets. The solution algorithm developed is based on Dynamic Programming and Lagrange Relaxation methods and solves the optimization probl...
Short term electricity price forecasting in Turkish electricity market Özgüner, Erdem; Güven, Ali Nezih; Tör, O. Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) With the aim for higher economical efficiency, considerable and radical changes have occurred in the worldwide electricity sector since the beginning of 1980s. By that time, the electricity sector has been controlled by the state-owned vertically integrated monopolies which manage and control all generation, transmission, distribution and retail activities and the consumers buy electricity with a price set by these monopolies in that system. After the liberalization and restructuring of the electricity powe...
A soft computing approach to projecting locational marginal price Nwulu, Nnamdi I.; Fahrioglu, Murat (2013-05-01) The increased deregulation of electricity markets in most nations of the world in recent years has made it imperative that electricity utilities design accurate and efficient mechanisms for determining locational marginal price (LMP) in power systems. This paper presents a comparison of two soft computing-based schemes: Artificial neural networks and support vector machines for the projection of LMP. Our system has useful power system parameters as inputs and the LMP as output. Experimental results obtained...
Data mining methods for clustering power quality data collected via monitoring systems installed on the electricity network Güder, Mennan; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) Increasing power demand and wide use of high technology power electronic devices result in need for power quality monitoring. The quality of electric power in both transmission and distribution systems should be analyzed in order to sustain power system reliability and continuity. This analysis is possible by examination of data collected by power quality monitoring systems. In order to define the characteristics of the power system and reveal the relations between the power quality events, huge amount of d...
