In recent years, 5G technology has rapidly developed, which is widely used in medical, transportation, energy, and other fields. As the core equipment of the 5G network, 5G base stations provide wireless coverage and realize wireless signal transmission between wired communication networks and wireless terminals. However, as the scale of 5G base stations gradually increases, problems such as poor user experience and insufficient coverage area frequently occur. Hence, it is necessary to evaluate the comprehensive performance of 5G base stations, so as to clarify the problems existing in the construction of base stations. First, the performance evaluation index system is constructed from the perspectives of operational performance, financial performance, environmental impact, and social influence. Then, a novel hybrid multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model based on the Bayesian best-worst method (BBWM) and difference-quotient gray relational analysis (DQ-GRA) technique is adopted. Finally, sixteen 5G base stations are taken as examples for analysis. The result shows that the signal coverage area and per capita input cost are the most important indicators greatly affecting the overall performance of the 5G base station. Compared with the two other MCDM models, the proposed hybrid MCDM model has good applicability and effectiveness for performance evaluation of 5G base stations.
With the continuous development of new power systems, the load demand on the user side is becoming more and more diverse and random, which also brings difficulties in the accurate prediction of power load. Although the introduction of deep learning algorithms has improved the prediction accuracy to a certain extent, it also faces problems such as large data requirements and low computing efficiency. An ultra-short-term load forecasting method based on the windowed XGBoost model is proposed, which not only reduces the complexity of the model, but also helps the model to capture the autocorrelation effect of the forecast object. At the same time, the real-time electricity price is introduced into the model to improve its forecast accuracy. By simulating the load data of Singapore’s electricity market, it is proved that the proposed model has fewer errors than other deep learning algorithms, and the introduction of the real-time electricity price helps to improve the prediction accuracy of the model. Furthermore, the broad applicability of the proposed method is verified by a sensitivity analysis on data with different sample sizes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
