Abstract: Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) gained importance in many industrial applications. State-of-the-art solutions heavily rely on external infrastructures and are subject to potential privacy compromises, external information requirements, and assumptions, that make it unfavorable for environments demanding privacy and prolonged functionality. In certain environments deploying supplementary infrastructures for indoor positioning could be infeasible and expensive. Recent developments in machine learning (ML) offer solutions to address these limitations relying only on the data from onboard sensors of IoT devices. However, it is unclear which model fits best considering the resource constraints of IoT devices. This paper presents a machine learning-based indoor positioning system, using motion and ambient sensors, to localize a moving entity in privacy concerned factory environments. The problem is formulated as a multivariate time series classification (MTSC) and a comparative analysis of different machine learning models is conducted in order to address it. We introduce a novel time series dataset emulating the assembly lines of a factory. This dataset is utilized to assess and compare the selected models in terms of accuracy, memory footprint and inference speed. The results illustrate that all evaluated models can achieve accuracies above 80 %. CNN-1D shows the most balanced performance, followed by MLP. DT was found to have the lowest memory footprint and inference latency, indicating its potential for a deployment in real-world scenarios.

Abstract: The concept of cellular energy systems of the German Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (VDE) proposes sector coupled energy networks for energy transition based on cellular structures. Its decentralized control approach radically differs from that of existing networks. Deeply integrated information and communications technologies (ICT) open opportunities for increased resilience and optimizations. The exploration of this concept requires a comprehensive simulation tool. In this paper, we investigate simulation techniques for cellular energy systems and present a concept based on co-simulation. We combine simulation tools developed for different domains. A classical tool for studying physical aspects of energy systems (Modelica, TransiEnt library) is fused with a state-of-the-art communication networks simulator (OMNeT++) via the standardized functional mock-up interface (FMI). New components, such as cell managers, aggregators, and markets, are integrated via remote procedure calls. A special feature of our concept is that the communication simulator coordinates the co-simulation as a master and integrates other components via a proxy concept. Model consistency across different domains is achieved by a common description of the energy system. Evaluation proves the feasibility of the concept and shows simulation speeds about 20 times faster than real time for a cell with 111 households.
