Short-Term Forecasting of Electricity Supply and Demand by Using the Wavelet-PSO-NNs-SO Technique for Searching in Big Data of Iran’s Electricity Market

Abstract

The databases of Iran’s electricity market have been storing large sizes of data. Retail buyers and retailers will operate in Iran’s electricity market in the foreseeable future when smart grids are implemented thoroughly across Iran. As a result, there will be very much larger data of the electricity market in the future than ever before. If certain methods are devised to perform quick search in such large sizes of stored data, it will be possible to improve the forecasting accuracy of important variables in Iran’s electricity market. In this paper, available methods were employed to develop a new technique of Wavelet-Neural Networks-Particle Swarm Optimization-Simulation-Optimization (WT-NNPSO-SO) with the purpose of searching in Big Data stored in the electricity market and improving the accuracy of short-term forecasting of electricity supply and demand. The electricity market data exploration approach was based on the simulation-optimization algorithms. It was combined with the Wavelet-Neural Networks-Particle Swarm Optimization (Wavelet-NNPSO) method to improve the forecasting accuracy with the assumption Length of Training Data (LOTD) increased. In comparison with previous techniques, the runtime of the proposed technique was improved in larger sizes of data due to the use of metaheuristic algorithms. The findings were dealt with in the Results section.

An Effective Global Optimization Algorithm for Quadratic Programs with Quadratic Constraints

“…In addition, we can introduce an interval reduction operation from Theorem 3 [6] to improve the convergent speed of the proposed algorithm.…”

“…On the one hand, it is since these classes of problems have a broad applications in multistage shipping, path planning, finance, and portfolio optimization, among others. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. On the other hand, it is because these classes of problems exist as important theoretical complexities and computational difficulties, that is to say, they are known to generally possess multiple local optimal solutions, which are not optimal solutions.…”
