Accepted Conference Paper at PSGEC2021
Our conference paper entitled “Hybrid Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach for Investigating Residential Load Compositions and Load Percentages“ is accepted at the 2021 Power System And Green Energy Conference (PSGEC 2021), Shanghai, China
The paper is abstract is given below:
Load points are one of the most vital parts of power systems. Due to the new load forms and programs introduced in the demand side, the load serving entities (LSEs) no longer deal with lump loads, but rather with more dynamic, rational and price elastic loads. The high inter-temporal and behavioral variability of the load profile makes it almost impossible for utilities and system operators to expect the demand curve with the needed accuracy. A sound granularity of the load compositions and consumption percentages and patterns throughout the year is essential for avoiding energy losses, designing demand side management (DSM) programs and ensuring proper adjustments of electricity rates. In this paper, a simplistic model that can be followed by system operators to initially understand the customers consumption pattern and the household load structure is proposed. A top-down approach is combined and matched with a detailed bottom-up one, to extract load compositions and percentages. Real and local load profiles integrated with household statistical data such as device time of use (ToU), number of device units per house and activities exercised in households are all included in the model. The main results of the paper show the load composition in residential demand and the percentage of such composition under seasonal-based scenarios.

Attended the 2019 PSERC IAB Meeting
Pleased to attend the PSERC Industry Advisory Board Meeting (IAB) that was held in Richmond, VA between 4 - 6 of December. The meeting gathered industry members, faculty, and students who are interested in power system engineering. Challenges and opportunities in electrification, decarbonization and digitalization were discussed. I enjoyed the informal networking opportunities with the top-notch researchers in the meeting.
Many thanks to my advisor Professor. Tong for enabling me to participate. The thanks are also extended to Dominion Energy Company and Dr. Anna Rosa Lampis for the great organization of the event.
