Short-Term Electricity Load Forecasting (STELF) through Data Analytics (DA) is an emerging and active research area. Forecasting about electricity load and price provides future trends and patterns of consumption. There is a loss in generation and use of electricity. So, multiple strategies are used to solve the aforementioned problems. Day-ahead electricity price and load forecasting are beneficial for both suppliers and consumers. In this paper, Deep Learning (DL) and data mining techniques are used for electricity load and price forecasting. XG-Boost (XGB), Decision Tree (DT), Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE) and Random Forest (RF) are used for feature selection and feature extraction. Enhanced Convolutional Neural Network (ECNN) and Enhanced Support Vector Regression (ESVR) are used as classifiers. Grid Search (GS) is used for tuning of the parameters of classifiers to increase their performance. The risk of over-fitting is mitigated by adding multiple layers in ECNN. Finally, the proposed models are compared with different benchmark schemes for stability analysis. The performance metrics MSE, RMSE, MAE, and MAPE are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed models. The experimental results show that the proposed models outperformed other benchmark schemes. ECNN performed well with threshold 0.08 for load forecasting. While ESVR performed better with threshold value 0.15 for price forecasting. ECNN achieved almost 2% better accuracy than CNN. Furthermore, ESVR achieved almost 1% better accuracy than the existing scheme (SVR).
Transmission rate is one of the contributing factors in the performance of wireless sensor networks. Congested network causes reduced network response time, queuing delay, and more packet loss. To address the issue of congestion, we have proposed transmission rate control methods. To avoid the congestion, we have adjusted the transmission rate at current node based on its traffic loading information. Multiclassification is done to control the congestion using an effective data science technique, namely support vector machine (SVM). In order to get less miss classification error, differential evolution (DE) and grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithms are used to tune the SVM parameters. The comparative analysis has shown that the proposed approaches DE-SVM and GWO-SVM are more proficient than other classification techniques. Moreover, DE-SVM and GWO-SVM have outperformed the benchmark technique genetic algorithm-SVM by producing 3% and 1% less classification errors, respectively.For fault detection in wireless sensor networks, we have induced four types of faults in the sensor readings and detected the faults using the proposed enhanced random forest. We have made a comparative analysis with state of the art data science techniques based on two metrics, ie, detection accuracy and true positive rate. Enhanced random forest has detected the faults with 81% percent accuracy and outperformed the other classifiers in fault detection.
