The current electric power system witnesses a significant transition into Smart Grids (SG) as a promising landscape for high grid reliability and efficient energy management. This ongoing transition undergoes rapid changes, requiring a plethora of advanced methodologies to process the big data generated by various units. In this context, SG stands tied very closely to Deep Learning (DL) as an emerging technology for creating a more decentralized and intelligent energy paradigm while integrating high intelligence in supervisory and operational decision-making. Motivated by the outstanding success of DL-based prediction methods, this article attempts to provide a thorough review from a broad perspective on the state-of-the-art advances of DL in SG systems. Firstly, a bibliometric analysis has been conducted to categorize this review's methodology. Further, we taxonomically delve into the mechanism behind some of the trending DL algorithms. We then showcase the DL enabling technologies in SG, such as federated learning, edge intelligence, and distributed computing. Finally, challenges and research frontiers are provided to serve as guidelines for future work in the futuristic power grid domain. This study's core objective is to foster the synergy between these two fields for decision-makers and researchers to accelerate DL's practical deployment for SG systems.

This paper proposes an effective Photovoltaic (PV) Power Forecasting (PVPF) technique based on hierarchical learning combining Nonlinear Auto-Regressive Neural Networks with exogenous input (NARXNN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. First, the NARXNN model acquires the data to generate a residual error vector. Then, the stacked LSTM model, optimized by Tabu search algorithm, uses the residual error correction associated with the original data to produce a point and interval PVPF. The performance of the proposed PVPF technique was investigated using two real datasets with different scales and locations. The comparative analysis of the NARX-LSTM with twelve existing benchmarks confirms its superiority in terms of accuracy measures. In summary, the proposed NARX-LSTM technique has the following major achievements: 1) Improves the prediction performance of the original LSTM and NARXNN models; 2) Evaluates the uncertainties associated with point forecasts with high accuracy; 3) Provides a high generalization capability for PV systems with different scales. Numerical results of the comparison of the proposed NARX-LSTM method with two real-world PV systems in Australia and USA demonstrate its improved prediction accuracy, outperforming the benchmark approaches with an overall normalized Rooted Mean Squared Error (nRMSE) of 1.98% and 1.33% respectively.

This paper proposes an effective deep learning framework for Short-Term Load Forecasting (STLF) of multivariate time series. The proposed model consists of a hybrid Convolutional neural network-Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (CBiLSTM) based on the Evolution Strategy (ES) method and the Savitzky–Golay (SG) filter (SG-CBiLSTM). The adopted methodology incorporates the virtue of different prepossessing blocks to enhance the performance of the CBiLSTM model. In particular, a data-augmentation strategy is employed to synthetically improve the feature representation of the CBiLSTM model. The augmented data is forwarded to the Partial Least Square (PLS) method to select the most informative features above the predefined threshold. Next, the SG algorithm is computed for smoothing the load to enhance the learning capabilities of the underlying system. The structure of the SG-CBiLSTM for the ISO New England dataset is optimized using the ES technique. Finally, the CBiLSTM model generates output forecasts. The proposed approach demonstrates a remarkable improvement in the performance of the original CBiLSTM model. Furthermore, the experimental results strongly confirm the high effectiveness of the proposed SG-CBiLSTM model compared to the state-of-the-art techniques.

Deep learning (DL)-based PV Power Forecasting (PVPF) emerged nowadays as a promising research direction to intelligentize energy systems. With the massive smart meter integration, DL takes advantage of the large-scale and multi-source data representations to achieve a spectacular performance and high PV forecastability potential compared to classical models. This review article taxonomically dives into the nitty-gritty of the mainstream DL-based PVPF methods while showcasing their strengths and weaknesses. Firstly, we draw connections between PVPF and DL approaches and show how this relation might cross-fertilize or extend both directions. Then, fruitful discussions are conducted based on three classes: discriminative learning, generative learning, and deep reinforcement learning. In addition, this review analyzes recent automatic architecture optimization algorithms for DL-based PVPF. Next, the notable DL technologies are thoroughly described. These technologies include federated learning, deep transfer learning, incremental learning, and big data DL. After that, DL methods are taxonomized into deterministic and probabilistic PVPF. Finally, this review concludes with some research gaps and hints about future challenges and research directions in driving the further success of DL techniques to PVPF applications. By compiling this study, we expect to help aspiring stakeholders widen their knowledge of the staggering potential of DL for PVPF.

This paper deals with characterization and modelling of human handwriting motion from two forearm muscle activity signals, called electromyography signals (EMG). In this work, an experimental approach was used to record the coordinates of a pen tip moving on the (x, y) plane and EMG signals during the handwriting act. The main purpose is to design a new mathematical model which characterizes this biological process. Based on a multi-model approach, this system was originally developed to generate letters and geometric forms written by different writers. A Recursive Least Squares algorithm is used to estimate the parameters of each sub-model of the multi-model basis. Simulations show good agreement between predicted results and the recorded data.
