Energy management of a virtual power plant (VPP) that consists of wind farm (WF), energy storage systems and a demand response program is discussed in the present study. The introduced strategy is realized at the electrical power transmission level and takes into account the collaboration between VPPs in day‐ahead energy and reserve markets. One notable feature of the proposed strategy is attempting to make the revenue of VPPs close to the operating cost of generating units as much as possible. The objective function is subjected to the network‐constrained unit commitment model, up and down reserve requirements and the proposed VPP constraints. This method is taking into account the uncertainty in system and VPP loads, day‐ahead market energy and reserve price and WF power generation. This strategy is applied as hybrid stochastic‐robust scheduling to the VPP at the electrical power transmission level, where the scenario‐based stochastic programming models the uncertainty of day‐ahead market prices, and the bounded uncertainty‐based robust optimization has been adopted to model the uncertainties related to the load and WF power. Scheme has been tested on IEEE systems. According to the obtained results, the proposed coordination of VPPs in the mentioned markets demonstrates capability of suggested strategy.

Slope stability prediction research is a complex non-linear system problem. In carrying out slope stability prediction work, it often encounters low accuracy of prediction models and blind data preprocessing. Based on 77 field cases, 5 quantitative indicators are selected to improve the accuracy of prediction models for slope stability. These indicators include slope angle, slope height, internal friction angle, cohesion and unit weight of rock and soil. Potential data aggregation in the prediction of slope stability is analyzed and visualized based on Six-dimension reduction methods, namely principal components analysis (PCA), Kernel PCA, factor analysis (FA), independent component analysis (ICA), non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) and t -SNE (stochastic neighbor embedding). Combined with classic machine learning methods, 7 prediction models for slope stability are established and their reliabilities are examined by random cross validation. Besides, the significance of each indicator in the prediction of slope stability is discussed using the coefficient of variation method. The research results show that dimension reduction is unnecessary for the data processing of prediction models established in this paper of slope stability. Random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbour (KNN) achieve the best prediction accuracy, which is higher than 90%. The decision tree (DT) has better accuracy which is 86%. The most important factor influencing slope stability is slope height, while unit weight of rock and soil is the least significant. RF and SVM models have the best accuracy and superiority in slope stability prediction. The results provide a new approach toward slope stability prediction in geotechnical engineering.

Evaluation of earthquake-induced liquefaction potential is crucial in the design phase of construction projects. Although several machine learning models achieve good prediction accuracy on their particular datasets, they may not perform well in other liquefaction datasets. To address this issue, we proposed a novel hybrid classifier ensemble to improve generalizability by combining the predictions of seven base classifiers using the weighted voting method. The applied base classifiers include back propagation neural network, support vector machine, decision tree, k-nearest neighbours, logistic regression, multiple linear regression and naive Bayes. The hyperparameters and weights of the base classifiers were tuned using the genetic algorithm. To verify the robustness of the classifier ensemble, its performance was tested on three datasets collected from previous published researches. The results show that the proposed classifier ensemble outperforms the base classifiers in terms of a variety of performance metrics including accuracy, Kappa, precision, recall, F1 score, AUC and ROC on the three datasets. In addition, the importance of influencing variables was achieved by the classifier ensemble on the three datasets to facilitate the future data collecting work. This robust ensemble method can be extended to solve other classification problems in civil engineering.

K-nearest neighbor rule (KNN) has been regarded as one of the top 10 methods in the field of data mining. Due to its simplicity and effectiveness, it has been widely studied and applied to various classification tasks. In this article, we develop a novel representation coefficient-based k-nearest centroid neighbor method (RCKNCN), which aims to further improve the classification performance and reduce the method’s sensitivity to the neighborhood size k, especially in the cases of small sample size. Different from existing KNN-based methods, RCKNCN is able to capture both the proximity and the geometry of k-nearest neighbors, and learn to differentiate the contribution of each neighbor to the classification of a testing sample through a linear representation method. Moreover, under the RCKNCN framework, we also propose a novel weighted majority voting algorithm using the representation coefficients associated with individual nearest centroid neighbors, which are deemed to hold more discriminative information of the neighbors. To fully study the classification performance of RCKNCN, we compare it with the state-of-the-art KNN-based methods on many data sets that are widely used in the literature. The extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our method in various classification tasks.

The prediction method plays crucial roles in the accurate prediction of rockfall runout range which could improve the protection of endangered residential areas and infrastructure. Recently, the Knearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm, one of many machine learning techniques, showed good performance in pattern classification. Therefore, the aim of this study was to use the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm to predict the rockfall runout range which is classified into different subintervals according to the distance from the slope toe. First, we proposed the prediction model of the rockfall runout range based on our improved KNN algorithm which could better offer robustness against different choices of the neighborhood size k, and it is the first work of applying our improved KNN algorithm to rockfall runout range prediction. Second, the shaking table tests of rockfall runout models were conducted for simulating the rockfall process, and the influence laws of factors-including types of an earthquake, peak ground acceleration, vibration frequency, slope angle, slope height, and block mass and block shape-on rockfall distance are investigated. Finally, there is a discussion of the performance of our proposed prediction model based on our improved KNN algorithm in the prediction of rockfall runout range. The extensive experimental results for rockfall runout range prediction demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed prediction model.

An accurate slope prediction model is important for slope reinforcement before the disaster. The k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm, as a simple and effective nonparametric machine learning method, is widely applied in classification recognition. In our study, the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm is improved to reduce its sample dependence and improve the robustness of the algorithm, and then the prediction model of the slope stability is proposed based on the improved k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. Extensive experimental results show that our proposed prediction model achieves high prediction performance in this regard. Moreover, a comparison between our proposed prediction model and the finite element method, which is the classical theoretical method of slope stability, was made, which will provide an important approach to predicting the slope stability for slope engineering. Finally, shaking table test of a slope model is conducted to evaluate whether the slope is stable or not, and the experimental results are in good agreement with the prediction results of our proposed prediction model, which further demonstrates its effectiveness.
