Workshop talk: On the Importance of Data in Energy Systems

On June 28th, the Workshop „Mind, Culture and Behaviour in the Digital Age” took place at the University of Klagenfurt. The emphasis of the workshop was on research perspectives and challenges in times of IoT, Big Data, Digital Humanities, and Digitisation. Researchers from the departments of technical sciences, economic sciences, and humanities were invited to deliver a speech.

Christoph Klemenjak gave a talk "on the importance of data in energy systems". State of the art, work in progress and open research questions were presented. Furthermore, the talk states the research findings of the Smart Grids research group. In particular, the talk presents the following contributions:
Without any doubt data will be among the most important resources in future. Exactly as all other resources data itself is neither good nor bad, it depends for which purposes it is used for.

Location: Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Österreich

Meetup on Future Research Challenges in Energy Informatics

18 - 19 April 2018 @ University of Klagenfurt, Austria Find further information here . Objective This two-day event aims to bring together researchers that are working on the topic of energy informatics in academia.  The focus of this meetup will be on Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) . Other relevant subtopics of energy informatics such as data analytics, energy management systems, or artificial intelligence in Smart Microgrids are warmly welcome. Within a small group, participants will present their latest findings, share experiences, discuss current issues, and discover possible ways of future cooperation and collaboration.  Researchers interested in joining are asked to apply with a talk title and abstract. Application deadline is March 19th . A committee will decide upon acceptance till March 22nd . Apply now Remarks The organisers would like to highlight that the University of Klagenfurt cannot provide any funding for expenses such as trave

European Workshop on Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM)

Image
From 6th to 7th of November, the 4th European Workshop on Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring was held in London, United Kingdom. This special event brought together researchers and professionals to present and discuss latest developments in the area of NILM as well as its applications.  The sessions comprised topics such as commercial & industrial NILM, innovative algorithms, deep learning approaches, and evaluation. Also, several vendors such as  Voltaware ,  Qualisteo  or  Verv  introduced their latest products. In the poster & demo session, Christoph presented a poster on "Appliance Detection in Power Meter Readings". The poster illustrates how correlation can be utilised to detect electrical appliances in power readings. Especially for hardware with limited computational resources this approach shows promising results. For more information about the presented work refer to our paper on correlation filters for appliance detection. Picture: Christoph Klem

Thesis Topics for Bachelor and Master Students

Image
Deep Neural Networks for Appliance Detection The objective of this thesis will be to explore the applicability of deep neural networks as appliance detectors. The student will be provided with training data, which includes the energy consumption of typical household appliances over the time span of one year. By using the data, the student will first label the data, train the DNNs and evaluate their performance. Depending on the thesis type, the student will have to compare the performance to another appliance detector. The selected approach will be implemented in Python or C++. Contact: Christoph.Klemenjak@aau.at Type: Scalable to all thesis types Supervised learning techniques for Energy Advisors Energy Advisors such as Mjölnir provide valuable feedback to the user. The feedback builds on gathered knowledge and observations of the energy consumption in households. The objective of this thesis will be: Review applicable supervised machine learning techniques and
