Social media data become an integral part in the business data and should be integrated into the decisional process for better decision making based on information which reflects better the true situation of business in any field. However, social media data are unstructured and generated in very high frequency which exceeds the capacity of the data warehouse. In this work, we propose to extend the data warehousing process with a staging area which heart is a large scale system implementing an information extraction process using Storm and Hadoop frameworks to better manage their volume and frequency. Concerning structured information extraction, mainly events, we combine a set of techniques from NLP, linguistic rules and machine learning to succeed the task. Finally, we propose the adequate data warehouse conceptual model for events modeling and integration with enterprise data warehouse using an intermediate table called Bridge table. For application and experiments, we focus on drug abuse events extraction from Twitter data and their modeling into the Event Data Warehouse.

Over time, the number of smart grids installed worldwide is gradually increasing. However, the major portion of the required electricity is still being produced by traditional large-scale and centralized power systems. The main requirement, then, is to study and develop mathematical methods that attend the integration between the two systems previously announced. In this paper, a novel model that addresses this issue is presented. The model minimizes the total operating cost of the large-scale system considering the participation of the smart grid as a dynamic entity, entailing a close relationship between both systems. This approach distinguishes the novel proposal from others that solve similar situations by taking into account the two systems in isolation. Besides, the models that represent the most common organizational structures of the smart grids are also presented in this paper. They are needed to develop the integrated model. Many similar problems in the literature are solved by implementing decomposition techniques, which might obtain a local optimum different from the global one. By contrast, problems with this proposal are solved by using mixed-integer linear programming models that ensure the reaching of a global optimum. The real test case is the integrated Argentine large-scale system and the Armstrong smart grid. Results indicate that the novel model can reach solutions that are 5% lower in comparison with the traditional techniques of considering in isolation. Efficient CPU times enable the possibility of promptly obtaining solutions if there is any change in the parameters. In addition, other benefits, apart from the economical reductions, are also achieved. Operating information closer to the reality of both systems is obtained because it considers the effects of the smart grid in large-scale system solving.

As we move towards electrical networks with a growing presence of renewable generation, the representation of the electrical components becomes more important. In hydro-dominated power systems, modelling the forbidden zones of hydro plants becomes increasingly challenging as the number of plants increases. Such zones are ranges of generation that either should be avoided or are altogether unreachable. However, because representing the forbidden zones introduces a substantial computational burden, hydrothermal unit-commitment problems (HTUC) for large systems are usually formulated ignoring the forbidden zones. Nonetheless, this simplification may demand adjustments to the solution of the HTUC, because the generation of the hydro stations may fall in forbidden zones. In practice, the adjustments are usually performed based on the experience of system operators and, then, can be far from an optimal correction. In this paper, we study the impact of explicitly representing the hydro-generation forbidden zones in a large-scale system with more than 7000 buses, 10,000 lines, and 700 hydro units. Our findings show that the simplified model that is current used can deviate significantly from the model with forbidden zones, both in terms of the generation of hydro plants, as well as the generation of thermal plants and the system marginal costs.

Decentralized controller design using overlapping decompositions is considered for descriptor-type systems with distributed time-delay. The approach is based on the principle of extension. In this approach, a given large-scale system is decomposed overlappingly into a number of subsystems and expanded such that the overlapping parts appear as disjoint. A decentralized controller is then designed for the expanded system. This controller is then contracted for implementation on the original system. It is shown that if the decentralized controllers are designed to stabilize the expanded system and to achieve certain performance, then the contracted controller, which would have an overlapping decentralized structure, will stabilize the original system and will achieve corresponding performance
