Sequential Learning-Based Energy Consumption Prediction Model for Residential and Commercial Sectors

Abstract

The use of electrical energy is directly proportional to the increase in global population, both concerning growing industrialization and rising residential demand. The need to achieve a balance between electrical energy production and consumption inspires researchers to develop forecasting models for optimal and economical energy use. Mostly, the residential and industrial sectors use metering sensors that only measure the consumed energy but are unable to manage electricity. In this paper, we present a comparative analysis of a variety of deep features with several sequential learning models to select the optimized hybrid architecture for energy consumption prediction. The best results are achieved using convolutional long short-term memory (ConvLSTM) integrated with bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM). The ConvLSTM initially extracts features from the input data to produce encoded sequences that are decoded by BiLSTM and then proceeds with a final dense layer for energy consumption prediction. The overall framework consists of preprocessing raw data, extracting features, training the sequential model, and then evaluating it. The proposed energy consumption prediction model outperforms existing models over publicly available datasets, including Household and Korean commercial building datasets.

An Internet of Things and Fuzzy Markup Language Based Approach to Prevent the Risk of Falling Object Accidents in the Execution Phase of Construction Projects

“…Sensors can measure the physical conditions of the world, such as position, occupancy, acceleration, velocity, movement, temperature, etc. As will be detailed below, they have been widely applied to monitor parameters including environmental status, occupant behavior, and energy usage inside buildings [54][55][56]. While Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) can, through electromagnetic fields, automatically identify and track tags attached to objects.…”

AB-Net: A Novel Deep Learning Assisted Framework for Renewable Energy Generation Forecasting

“…Different assembled AI-based models have been developed to enhance the RE forecast accuracy [17]. To predict RE generation, several time horizons have been investigated such as minutely, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly depending on the objective of the forecast [18]. Data-driven prediction models based on ML techniques including support vector machines (SVMs), k-nearest neighbors (k-NNs), support vector regression (SVR), multiple linear regression (LR), regression tree, gradient boosting (GB), and random forest (RF) are frequently utilized for the RE prediction domain.…”
