Pronóstico del Precio de la Energía Eléctrica usando Redes Neuro-Difusas

Fernando Villada; Edwin García; Juan D. Molina

Resumen Se propone un modelo para el pronostico del precio de la energia electrica en Colombia mediante el uso de redes neuro-difusas. Se utilizan dos estructuras de redes incluyendo como entradas la serie de precios diarios en la primera y la serie de precios mas el nivel medio de los embalses en la segunda. Los resultados son comparados con dos estructuras de redes neuronales y con un modelo Autoregresivo Condicional Heterocedastico Generalizado (GARCH). Los datos historicos fueron obtenidos de la Compania XM del Grupo ISA; datos para 120 dias son usados para entrenamiento y los 31 dias siguientes para verificar la capacidad predictiva del modelo. Se encontro ventajas en este ultimo dentro del periodo de muestreo para una variable de entrada, pero un mejor desempeno de las redes neuro-difusas en el periodo fuera de la muestra tanto para una como para dos variables de entrada. Palabras clave: precio de la electricidad, redes neuronales artificiales, redes neuro-difusas, modelos de series de tiempo

Algoritmo Evolutivo Eficiente Aplicado a la Planeación de la Expansión de Sistemas de Distribución

Carlos García; Edwin García; Fernando Villada

The optimization of the expansion planning of the real distribution system in the city of Medellin in Colombia, is analyzed in this work. The distribution system has 155 nodes and 154 branches at a voltage level of 13200 volts. Efficient evolutionary algorithms are applied, with the purpose of observing their improvements and performance when compared with conventional evolutionary algorithms. Besides, a mono-stage and mono-objective distribution planning model, which objective function is the optimization of construction costs and technical losses of the system is also studied. Finally, the impact of specially designed efficient operators for optimization is discussed and the estimated costs are analyzed.

Fernando Villada; Nicolás Muñoz; Edwin García

Resumen Este trabajo propone un modelo basado en redes neuronales artificiales para el pronostico de los precios de dos de las principales acciones transadas en mercado de valores colombiano. El modelo propuesto se aplica al estudio de las acciones de Ecopetrol y Preferencial Bancolombia, empresas que negocian en las bolsas de valores de Colombia y Nueva York. Se utilizan dos estructuras de redes incluyendo como entradas la serie de precios diarios en la primera y la serie de precios mas el indice del dolar estadounidense DXY en la segunda. Se prueban diferentes configuraciones de redes neuronales utilizando una serie de seis meses, donde los datos de los primeros cinco se utilizan para entrenamiento dejando el ultimo mes para verificar la capacidad predictiva de la red. Los resultados muestran un buen comportamiento de las redes neuronales con bajos errores en su desempeno tanto en aprendizaje como en prediccion.

Implementación del Algoritmo Evolutivo Multi-Objetivo de Frente de Pareto (SPEA) para la Planeación de Sistemas Eléctricos de Distribución incluyendo Huecos de Voltaje

Carlos García; Edwin García; Fernando Villada

espanolEn este trabajo se presenta la implementacion del algoritmo evolutivo multi-objetivo de frente de Pareto (SPEA) para la planeacion de la expansion de sistemas de distribucion, considerando como funciones objetivos los costos de la inversion y el numero de huecos de voltaje esperado por ano. El algoritmo se implementa aplicandolo a un sistema de distribucion real teniendo en cuenta algunos parametros fijos del sistema, tales como el numero de tramos, el numero de nodos y la poblacion inicial. Tambien se consideran otras variables que son propias de los algoritmos evolutivos como el porcentaje en poblaciones distintas que se cruzan entre si en una generacion (cruce) y la mutacion. Se concluye que la implementacion de SPEA para la planeacion de sistemas de distribucion reales es una buena y eficiente herramienta computacional cuando se requiere considerar varias funciones objetivo. EnglishThis article describes the implementation of the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm Pareto front (SPEA) for the planning of distribution system expansion, taking as target functions the investment costs and the number of Sag voltages expected per year. The algorithm is implemented by applying it to real distribution system, given some fixed system parameters such as the number of network segments, number of nodes and the number of initial population. Other variables that are proper of evolutionary algorithms such as percentage of generation population that crosses another (cross) and mutation are taken into consideration. It is concluded that the implementation of SPEA for planning real distribution systems is a good and efficient computational tool when it is necessary to consider several objective functions.

Multiphase Coupled Numerical Simulation of the Rainfall Infiltration into Unsaturated Embankments

Sayuri Kimoto; Edwin García; Fusao Oka

In order to study the effect of the water infiltration due to the rise of the water level of the rivers on the river dikes, a series of two-dimensional numerical analyses of experiments are carried out using a multi-phase seepage-deformation coupled method for unsaturated soil. The mechanism of the surface deformation and the strain localization on these soil structures are discussed mainly with respect to the water permeability of the soils. Results obtained by the simulations show that the deformation of the embankments significantly depends on the water permeability of the soil and it is localized on the slope surface at the river sides. The larger the saturated water permeability of the soil, the velocity of the seepage flow and the deformation on the surface of the river embankments are larger. The method adopted here, can effectively be used to study the practical seepage deformation coupled problems on unsaturated soils.

Instability of Unsaturated Soil During the Water Infiltration

Fusao Oka; Edwin García; Sayuri Kimoto

It is known that the unstable behavior of unsaturated soil includes collapses behavior which is due to the decrease of suction as well as the shear failure. In addition, we often meet the numerical instability for the simulation of unsaturated soil during the wetting process. In the present study, we have performed a one-dimensional linear instability analysis for the air-water-soil coupled three-phase viscoplastic material. From the instability analysis of the viscoplastic unsaturated soil subjected to the water infiltration, we have found that the specific moisture capacity, the matric suction and the hardening parameter affect the instability. Then, we have performed numerical simulations of the behavior of unsaturated soil during the water infiltration using a multi-phase coupled elasto-viscoplastic finite element analysis method. The conditions under which the numerical instability occurs during the simulation agree well with the results by linear instability analysis.
