I would like to hear other peoples ideas on fuzzy load managment. We are
investigating a system here where an institution is sold electricity at a
fixed rate provided the max allowed load is not exceeded. We are designing a
fuzzy controller/expert system that will allow us to switch on/off certain
items (geysers, heaters etc) when the load reaches it max. The switching has
to be done so as to minimise the inconvenience to the people and still be as
efficient as possible.
I have initially begun to think along the lines of having a system of
priorities. The fuzzy system will adjust these priorities as certain
influencing factors change (ie time of day, temperature etc ). I thought of
having two queues, one for the items that can be switched off and one for the
items that have been switched off. The fuzzy system will effectivly order the
two queues. As the load nears the max items at the bottom of the switch off
queue will be zapped, and as the load falls again items ot the to of the
switch on queue will be activated again.
Does anybody know if this has been done, and if so are there papers about it.
Generally any ideas comments will be welcome.
Thanks in advance
Andre
