Download or read book On Short Term Load Forecasting Using Machine Learning Techniques written by Behnam Farsi and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since electricity plays a crucial role in industrial infrastructures of countries, power companies are trying to monitor and control infrastructures to improve energy management, scheduling and develop efficiency plans. Smart Grids are an example of critical infrastructure which can lead to huge advantages such as providing higher resilience and reducing maintenance cost. Due to the nonlinear nature of electric load data there are high levels of uncertainties in predicting future load. Accurate forecasting is a critical task for stable and efficient energy supply, where load and supply are matched. However, this non-linear nature of loads presents significant challenges for forecasting. Many studies have been carried out on different algorithms for electricity load forecasting including; Deep Neural Networks, Regression-based methods, ARIMA and seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) which among the most popular ones. This thesis discusses various algorithms analyze their performance for short-term load forecasting. In addition, a new hybrid deep learning model which combines long short-term memory (LSTM) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been proposed to carry out load forecasting without using any exogenous variables. The difference between our proposed model and previously hybrid CNN-LSTM models is that in those models, CNN is usually used to extract features while our proposed model focuses on the existing connection between LSTM and CNN. This methodology helps to increase the model's accuracy since the trend analysis and feature extraction process are accomplished, respectively, and they have no effect on each other during these processes. Two real-world data sets, namely "hourly load consumption of Malaysia" as well as "daily power electric consumption of Germany", are used to test and compare the presented models. To evaluate the performance of the tested models, root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and R-squared were used. The results show that deep neural networks models are good candidates for being used as short-term prediction tools. Moreover, the proposed model improved the accuracy from 83.17\% for LSTM to 91.18\% for the German data. Likewise, the proposed model's accuracy in Malaysian case is 98.23\% which is an excellent result in load forecasting. In total, this thesis is divided into two parts, first part tries to find the best technique for short-term load forecasting, and then in second part the performance of the best technique is discussed. Since the proposed model has the best performance in the first part, this model is challenged to predict the load data of next day, next two days and next 10 days of Malaysian data set as well as next 7 days, next 10 days and next 30 days of German data set. The results show that the proposed model also has performed well where the accuracy of 10 days ahead of Malaysian data is 94.16\% and 30 days ahead of German data is 82.19\%. Since both German and Malaysian data sets are highly aggregated data, a data set from a research building in France is used to challenge the proposed model's performance. The average accuracy from the French experiment is almost 77\% which is reasonable for such a complex data without using any auxiliary variables. However, as Malaysian data and French data includes hourly weather data, the performance of the model after adding weather is evaluated to compare them before using weather data. Results show that weather data can have a positive influence on the model. These results show the strength of the proposed model and how much it is stable in front of some challenging tasks such as forecasting in different time horizons using two different data sets and working with complex data.

Download or read book Smart Meter Data Analytics written by Yi Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to make the best use of fine-grained smart meter data to process and translate them into actual information and incorporated into consumer behavior modeling and distribution system operations. It begins with an overview of recent developments in smart meter data analytics. Since data management is the basis of further smart meter data analytics and its applications, three issues on data management, i.e., data compression, anomaly detection, and data generation, are subsequently studied. The following works try to model complex consumer behavior. Specific works include load profiling, pattern recognition, personalized price design, socio-demographic information identification, and household behavior coding. On this basis, the book extends consumer behavior in spatial and temporal scale. Works such as consumer aggregation, individual load forecasting, and aggregated load forecasting are introduced. We hope this book can inspire readers to define new problems, apply novel methods, and obtain interesting results with massive smart meter data or even other monitoring data in the power systems.

Download or read book Forecasting and Assessing Risk of Individual Electricity Peaks written by Maria Jacob and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching aim of this open access book is to present self-contained theory and algorithms for investigation and prediction of electric demand peaks. A cross-section of popular demand forecasting algorithms from statistics, machine learning and mathematics is presented, followed by extreme value theory techniques with examples. In order to achieve carbon targets, good forecasts of peaks are essential. For instance, shifting demand or charging battery depends on correct demand predictions in time. Majority of forecasting algorithms historically were focused on average load prediction. In order to model the peaks, methods from extreme value theory are applied. This allows us to study extremes without making any assumption on the central parts of demand distribution and to predict beyond the range of available data. While applied on individual loads, the techniques described in this book can be extended naturally to substations, or to commercial settings. Extreme value theory techniques presented can be also used across other disciplines, for example for predicting heavy rainfalls, wind speed, solar radiation and extreme weather events. The book is intended for students, academics, engineers and professionals that are interested in short term load prediction, energy data analytics, battery control, demand side response and data science in general.

Download or read book Recurrent Neural Networks for Short Term Load Forecasting written by Filippo Maria Bianchi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key component in forecasting demand and consumption of resources in a supply network is an accurate prediction of real-valued time series. Indeed, both service interruptions and resource waste can be reduced with the implementation of an effective forecasting system. Significant research has thus been devoted to the design and development of methodologies for short term load forecasting over the past decades. A class of mathematical models, called Recurrent Neural Networks, are nowadays gaining renewed interest among researchers and they are replacing many practical implementations of the forecasting systems, previously based on static methods. Despite the undeniable expressive power of these architectures, their recurrent nature complicates their understanding and poses challenges in the training procedures. Recently, new important families of recurrent architectures have emerged and their applicability in the context of load forecasting has not been investigated completely yet. This work performs a comparative study on the problem of Short-Term Load Forecast, by using different classes of state-of-the-art Recurrent Neural Networks. The authors test the reviewed models first on controlled synthetic tasks and then on different real datasets, covering important practical cases of study. The text also provides a general overview of the most important architectures and defines guidelines for configuring the recurrent networks to predict real-valued time series.

Download or read book Short Term Load Forecasting 2019 written by Antonio Gabaldón and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short-term load forecasting (STLF) plays a key role in the formulation of economic, reliable, and secure operating strategies (planning, scheduling, maintenance, and control processes, among others) for a power system and will be significant in the future. However, there is still much to do in these research areas. The deployment of enabling technologies (e.g., smart meters) has made high-granularity data available for many customer segments and to approach many issues, for instance, to make forecasting tasks feasible at several demand aggregation levels. The first challenge is the improvement of STLF models and their performance at new aggregation levels. Moreover, the mix of renewables in the power system, and the necessity to include more flexibility through demand response initiatives have introduced greater uncertainties, which means new challenges for STLF in a more dynamic power system in the 2030–50 horizon. Many techniques have been proposed and applied for STLF, including traditional statistical models and AI techniques. Besides, distribution planning needs, as well as grid modernization, have initiated the development of hierarchical load forecasting. Analogously, the need to face new sources of uncertainty in the power system is giving more importance to probabilistic load forecasting. This Special Issue deals with both fundamental research and practical application research on STLF methodologies to face the challenges of a more distributed and customer-centered power system.

Download or read book Multistep Framework for Short term Load Forecasting Using Machine Learning Algorithm written by Hari Silwal and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional forecasting approaches forecast the total system load directly without considering the individual consumer's load. With the introduction of the smart grid, lots of renewable energy resources such as wind and solar are added to the system from consumer side fluctuates the system load and makes forecasting more complex. Thus, it is necessary to forecast individual consumers load. Here, a framework is presented in which individual customer loads is forecasted rather than the system load. At first, a hierarchical cluster analysis is performed to classify daily load patterns into different groups for all the individuals. Then an association analysis is performed to determine critical influential factors that affect the load curve for given day. The next step is the application of a decision tree to establish classification rules between the different groups of the load curve and the critical influential factors. Then, appropriate forecasting models are chosen for different load patterns and the individual load is forecasted. Finally, the forecasted total system load is obtained through an aggregation of an individual load forecasting results. The relative error of forecasting the system load using this framework is compared with the relative errors using SVM regression and this framework had better accuracy. This framework is also used for forecasting the power output of the renewable generation. Also, the results of the day ahead forecast of system load and renewable generation is used for economic power scheduling for the microgrid and peak shaving for the utilities.
