Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Models for ERCOT Short Term Load Forecasting
… and deep learning (DL) models for short-term load forecasting (STLF) in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid. A dual comparative approach is employed, evaluating models based on temporal features alone as well as in combination with actual and forecasted weather variables. …

THE SHEAR BEHAVIOUR OF THE REINFORCED CONCRETE FOUR-PILE CAPS
… reinforced four-pile concrete cap under wall loading. It is aided by a series of laboratory experiments which are validated by an advanced non-linear numerical modelling for the reinforced concrete structure. The experience from the numerical modelling is taken further to carry out a …

Rethinking Serverless for Machine Learning Inference
… popular. However, executing these workloads on dedicated hardware may not be feasible for many users due to high maintenance costs, varying load patterns, and time to production. Furthermore, ML inference workloads are stateless, and most of them are not extremely latency sensitive. For …

Evaluation of clustering techniques for generating household energy consumption patterns in a developing country
… techniques for generating representative daily load profiles that are characteristic of residential energy consumers in South Africa. The input data captures two decades of metered household consumption, covering 14 945 household years and 3 295 848 daily load patterns of a population with high …

Evaluation of the design, construction and operation of a gas fuelled, engine driven heat pump, and its possible role in a UK market
… laboratory test programme simulating various load patterns and operating conditions. The heat pump, using air as its source of heat was driven by a 360 cc single cylinder marine engine converted to run on natural gas. The work was completed in 1980 and the heat pump was found to work well and …

A corpus-based examination of English if-conditionals through the lens of modality : nature and types
… metrics for the extent of modal marking (modal load): modal density and modalisation spread. It establishes the modal load in a random sample of if-conditionals, and compares it to that of written English, as well as other conditionals, and a number of non-conditional bi-partite constructions. …

Electric Distribution Reliability Analysis Considering Time-varying Load, Weather Conditions and Reconfiguration with Distributed Generation
… this research takes into account time-varying load patterns, and seeks approaches that are financially justified. An exhaustive search scheme is used to calculate optimal locations for Distributed Generators (DG) from the reliability point of view. A Discrete Ascent Optimal Programming (DAOP) …

Load models for technical, economic and tariff analysis of medium voltage feeders
Load models play an essential role in many studies, including calculating voltage drops and technical losses in distribution systems, for distributed generator (DG) integration planning, and in tariff analysis and design models. The Herman-Beta transform used in the low voltage network modelling …

Distribution Level Building Load Prediction Using Deep Learning
<p>Load prediction in distribution grids is an important means to improve energy supply scheduling, reduce the production cost, and support emission reduction. Determining accurate load predictions has become more crucial than ever as electrical load patterns are becoming increasingly complicated …

Training loads, injury profiles and illness in elite South African rugby players
… illness, but the relationship between training loads on injury and illness profiles are unclear. As a result, the Super Rugby tournament is a platform to further investigate injury, illness and training load patterns within Rugby Union. Epidemiological data on training loads, injury profiles and …

Elastic Lateral Torsional Buckling of Beams Strengthened with Cover Plates while under Loading
… worldwide and the typical increase in service loads relative to original design loads make it essential to develop effective techniques for strengthening and rehabilitating existing structures, to enhance their resistance. An effective method for strengthening existing steel I-beams is to weld …
