Active Demand Side Management of a Grid Connected Photovoltaic Energy System Using Optimal Control
Ahmad, A; Anderson, TN; Swain, AK; Kamran, M (dublin energy lab & dublin institute of technology, 2018)In this study, optimal energy management for a grid-connected photovoltaic-battery hybrid system was proposed to benefit customers at the demand side. The management of energy flow aims to minimize electricity cost subject ... -
Excel Based Tool for Global Solar Radiation Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Network Models
Ahmad, A; Anderson, T; Lie, TT (The Meteorological Society of New Zealand, 2015)Building reliable solar energy systems regardless of whether the system is a photovoltaic or thermal solar energy system requires information about global solar irradiation (sum of direct and diffuse solar radiation projected ... -
Global solar radiation prediction using artificial neural network models for New Zealand
Ahmad, A; Anderson, T (Solar 2014 Conference & Expo, 2014)In this study, nonlinear autoregressive recurrent neural networks with exogenous input (NARX) were used to predict global solar radiation across New Zealand. Data for nine hourly weather variables recorded across New Zealand ... -
Hourly electrical power consumption prediction for New Zealand residential houses using artificial neural network models
Ahmad, A; Anderson, T (Australian PV Institute (APVI), 2014)In this study several Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were experimented to predict electricity consumption for a residential house in New Zealand. The effect of number of users in the house, day of the week and ... -
Hourly global solar irradiation forecasting for New Zealand
Ahmad, A; Anderson, TN; Lie, T (Elsevier, 2015)With the growing use of solar thermal energy systems and small scale photovoltaic power generation by domestic users, there is increasing need to develop intelligent controllers that allow these users to efficiently manage ... -
Maximizing Photovoltaic Array Energy Usage Within a House Using Model Predictive Control
Lie, T; Ahmad, A; Anderson, T; Swain, A (IEEE, 2017)In this study, the problems of modeling, energy dispatching and Photovoltaic (PV) array energy priorities for a grid connected residential house with PV array and battery storage using model predictive control (MPC) have ... -
