Distributed energy resources (DERs) such as wind turbines (WTs), photovoltaics (PVs), storage systems (ESSs), local loads, and demand response (DR) are highly valued for environmental protection. However, their volatility poses several risks to the DER aggregator while formulating a profitable strategy bidding in day-ahead power market. This study proposes data-driven framework confronted with ...

On-body sensor wireless sensor networks using standard TCP/IP protocols allows a system to be built that is both convenient and manageable. We describe a set of 10 gram two-axis accelerometers running SIP-based streaming media servers and a lightweight data aggregator. Motion capture data is analyzed for type of motion and stored in annotated form for later analysis for medical applications.
