The large volume of electricity consumption data calls for the aggregation of this data. The implementation of aggregation methods is therefore a major concern to which an answer is given by presenting a case of aggregation of electricity consumption data using the jump process. A data set made it possible to carry out simulations and to present the results obtained for the daily, monthly and annual aggregations. The principle of using the jump process for the approval of these data is highlighted. This work is a concrete presentation of a simulation for the aggregation of electricity consumption data in a network of wireless sensors that can constitute a network of smart meters. The approach of this work consists in using aggregation methods to reduce the flow of data exchanges in wireless sensor networks. In fact, this work highlights several interesting properties that justify the choice of the jump process including flexibility, modeling of rare events, management of uncertainties adaptability to non-stationary data management of fluctuations in demand, consideration of volatility effects and scalability. Many significant impacts are expected, including improving network stability, optimizing resource management, reducing operational costs, integrating renewable energies, and data-driven decision-making. The jump process also presents limitations including modeling complexity, model calibration, computational complexity, interpretability of results, uncertainty management.

By Namira Khorshed Khan Kaniz Fatema Kanta Tabammum Haque Pranty Dip Nandi

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijeme.2024.04.05, Pub. Date: 8 Aug. 2024

The Metaverse is an emerging virtual universe that combines technologies such as VR, AR, AI, and IoT, to captivate the user in an artificial universe that blends reality and technology seamlessly. The metaverse provides a plethora of opportunities to vastly expand and realize the capabilities of our imagination as technology materializes ideas into intractable objects for an enhanced experience. The metaverse can also impact the education sector offering a unique opportunity to revolutionize education by providing immersive and interactive learning experiences through 3D avatars. In traditional libraries, students read books to learn about a vast array of topics and can visualize those topics through 2D images provided in the books, but such images might not always be the best stimulus to enhance the reader’s imagination. The introduction and integration of “Digital Libraries” through the Metaverse enable school students to explore various subjects in 3D environments, providing a practical approach to knowledge and improving comprehension, resulting in enjoyable and effective learning experiences. Metaverse enables seamless embodied user communication in real-time and dynamic interactions with digital antiquities. Besides, a digital library is defined as an online database of digital collections. It contains a lot of papers and resources which are arranged digitally. Its benefits include effectiveness, accuracy, authenticity assurance, simpler plagiarism management, easy accessibility, and high convenience. However, it has its drawbacks too such as copyright issues, distractions due to notifications, and various health hazards. In response to those drawbacks, how a digital library may use the Metaverse to add visual and auditory effects to enrich information provided in books has been illustrated, and how digital libraries in the Metaverse have the potential to revolutionize education while also addressing and potentially solving the problems that afflict traditional libraries has been highlighted by suggesting a prototype of the digital library in the Metaverse.
