Abstract
Accurate renewable energy generation and electricity demand forecasting tools constitute an essential part of the energy management system functions in microgrids. This study proposes a hybrid approach for short-term load forecasting in microgrids, which integrates empirical mode decomposition (EMD), particle swarm optimisation (PSO) and adaptive network-based fuzzy inference systems (ANFISs). The proposed technique first employs EMD to decompose the complicated load data series into a set of several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and a residue, and PSO algorithm is then used to optimise an ANFIS model for each IMF component and the residue. The final short-term electric load forecast value could be obtained by summing up the prediction results from each component model. The performance of the proposed model is examined using load demand dataset of a case study microgrid in Beijing and is compared with four other forecasting methods using the same dataset. The results show that the proposed approach yielded superior performance for short-term forecasting of microgrid load demand compared with the other methods.

Abstract
In this study, to reduce secondary sound source pollution in the reference signal of active noise control (ANC), a novel ANC algorithm, based on signal reconstruction, is proposed for vehicle interior noise. This algorithm combines the processes of ear-sides noise reconstruction and ANC. First, to reduce non-stationarity and nonlinearity, multi-source noise signals outside the vehicle are decomposed into a finite number of intrinsic mode function (IMF) components by empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Second, the IMFs are reconstructed by the energy-extreme division method into three components: high-frequency, intermediate-frequency and low-frequency. The radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) parameters are adjusted by the proportions of the components. Model training is performed to obtain the high-precision EMD-RBFNN reconstruction model (EMD-NNRM). The reconstructed noise signal is used as the reference signal of the variable step-size least mean square (VSS-LMS) algorithm, to control the passenger ear-sides noise. The effectiveness of the EMD-NNRM is validated using four noise signals from the outside of a vehicle. The interior noise of a high-speed vehicle is processed by the proposed algorithm and the traditional VSS-LMS algorithm for comparison. The reconstruction results show that the mean absolute error is improved by 77.64% compared with the back propagation neural network reconstruction model. Reconstructed passenger ear-sides noise can be utilized for ANC. The active control results suggest that the proposed algorithm can not only effectively suppress the interior noise but can also avoid pollution from secondary sound sources.
