Creation of a Software Tool with Elements of an Artificial Neural Network for Data Forecasting

Abstract

Currently, Russia is moving towards automating the collection of information from metering devices for heat, gas, water, electricity, etc. Technologies are being developed that allow transmitting data on resource consumption through various communication channels, both wired and on-air. There are already devices and devices that allow transmitting readings of electricity metering devices over existing wired communication networks, and this issue is being resolved at the legislative level, federal Law No. 522-FZ of 01.07.2020 has been adopted. The basis for the research is to save time and effort to obtain the necessary information to take into account the readings of electricity from substations, increase the speed of decision-making, to be able to predict the situation with big data to identify abnormal values and eliminate them (for example, identified data from electricity meters will reduce the time labor costs of accounting operators and economic losses of the energy supply company). The article proposes software methods for detecting data on electricity losses based on the use of artificial neural network algorithms and allowing to detect inconsistencies of commercial data readings of electric meters, which will reduce the commercial component of electricity losses. A verification calculation of an artificial neural network was performed for inconsistencies in the data on the transmitted electricity.
