Daily electricity consumption forecasting of home appliances can improve the accuracy and efficiency of the operation of home energy management systems. In this paper, an improved bidirectional long short memory network (BILSTM) model for predicting daily electricity consumption of household air conditioning is proposed. Firstly, and the “mutual information” is used to analyze the correlation between the daily electricity consumption of air conditioning and some environmental factors. Second, the environmental factors with strong correlation with the daily electricity consumption of air conditioning are selected as the influence factors, and these influence factors and the electricity data are taken as the characteristic input of the network. Finally, the improved bidirectional LSTM load prediction model which has been trained is used to forecast the daily electricity consumption of air conditioning. The experimental results show that the improved bidirectional LSTM network proposed in this paper can predict the daily electricity consumption of air conditioning in short term, and the maximum relative error of the predicted result is less than 5%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
