Transformer Training Strategies for Forecasting Multiple Load Time Series

1 code implementation19 Jun 2023 Matthias Hertel, Maximilian Beichter, Benedikt Heidrich, Oliver Neumann, Benjamin Schäfer, Ralf Mikut, Veit Hagenmeyer

We evaluate whether a Transformer load forecasting model benefits from a transfer learning strategy, where a global univariate model is trained on the load time series from multiple clients.

Understanding electricity prices beyond the merit order principle using explainable AI

no code implementations9 Dec 2022 Julius Trebbien, Leonardo Rydin Gorjão, Aaron Praktiknjo, Benjamin Schäfer, Dirk Witthaut

In perfect competition, the merit order principle describes that dispatchable power plants enter the market in the order of their marginal costs to meet the residual load, i. e. the difference of load and renewable generation.

Physics-inspired machine learning for power grid frequency modelling

no code implementations2 Nov 2022 Johannes Kruse, Eike Cramer, Benjamin Schäfer, Dirk Witthaut

Finally, we generate synthetic time series from the model, which successfully reproduce central characteristics of the grid frequency such as their heavy-tailed distribution.

Predicting the power grid frequency of European islands

no code implementations27 Sep 2022 Thorbjørn Lund Onsaker, Heidi S. Nygård, Damià Gomila, Pere Colet, Ralf Mikut, Richard Jumar, Heiko Maass, Uwe Kühnapfel, Veit Hagenmeyer, Benjamin Schäfer

In the present paper, we utilize measurements of the power grid frequency obtained in European islands: the Faroe Islands, Ireland, the Balearic Islands and Iceland and investigate how their frequency can be predicted, compared to the Nordic power system, acting as a reference.

Understanding Braess' Paradox in power grids

no code implementations27 Sep 2022 Benjamin Schäfer, Thiemo Pesch, Debsankha Manik, Julian Gollenstede, Guosong Lin, Hans-Peter Beck, Dirk Witthaut, Marc Timme

The ongoing energy transition requires power grid extensions to connect renewable generators to consumers and to transfer power among distant areas.

Revealing interactions between HVDC cross-area flows and frequency stability with explainable AI

no code implementations22 Apr 2022 Sebastian Pütz, Benjamin Schäfer, Dirk Witthaut, Johannes Kruse

Here, we investigate the interaction of power imbalances - represented through the power grid frequency - and power flows on HVDC links between synchronous areas in Europe.

Validation Methods for Energy Time Series Scenarios from Deep Generative Models

no code implementations27 Oct 2021 Eike Cramer, Leonardo Rydin Gorjão, Alexander Mitsos, Benjamin Schäfer, Dirk Witthaut, Manuel Dahmen

The design and operation of modern energy systems are heavily influenced by time-dependent and uncertain parameters, e. g., renewable electricity generation, load-demand, and electricity prices.

Secondary frequency control stabilizing voltage dynamics

no code implementations6 Sep 2021 Eder Batista Tchawou Tchuisseu, Eric-Donald Ndogmo, Pavel Procházka, Paul Woafo, Pere Colet, Benjamin Schäfer

Even more interesting, while we only consider secondary frequency control, we observe a stabilizing effect on the voltage dynamics, especially in our numerical bulk analysis.

Exploring deterministic frequency deviations with explainable AI

Isolating the impact of trading on grid frequency fluctuations

no code implementations24 Mar 2021 Benjamin Schäfer, Marc Timme, Dirk Witthaut

While particularly large frequency deviations in 2017 are not as frequent as in 2011, large deviations are more likely to occur shortly after the trading instances.
