Research on time series prediction of hybrid intelligent systems based on deep learning

Power forecasting plays a crucial role in the operation of smart grid system, which is indispensable for making the operation plan of power system, improving economic efficiency and ensuring the quality of power supply. In order to enhance the accuracy of power load forecasting, a hybrid intelligent power load forecasting system is proposed in this paper. The system first preprocesses the raw data using Savitzky-Golay smoothing technology to eliminate noise and improve data quality. Then, a long and short term memory network with attention mechanism is used to enhance the generalization ability of the model. In addition, in order to further improve the prediction performance, an improved genetic algorithm is integrated to optimize the model parameters. Finally, a data set is used to verify the proposed prediction method. In terms of short-term forecasting ability of experiment of the testing data set, compared with LSTM model, the proposed method shows superior performance in root mean square error and mean absolute error indicators, with root mean square error reduced by 18.7 % and mean absolute error reduced by 26.2 %. In terms of long-term prediction ability of experiment of the testing data set, compared with GBRT model, the proposed method reduces root mean square error and mean absolute error by 24.8 % and 30.7 %, respectively. The experimental results show that compared with the existing benchmark algorithm, the proposed method is significantly improved in two key indexes of prediction accuracy, which proves its effectiveness and superiority in power load prediction.

Wild Horse Optimization with Deep Learning-Driven Short-Term Load Forecasting Scheme for Smart Grids

Energy is a major driver of human activity. Demand response is of the utmost importance to maintain the efficient and reliable operation of smart grid systems. The short-term load forecasting (STLF) method is particularly significant for electric fields in the trade of energy. This model has several applications to everyday operations of electric utilities, namely load switching, energy-generation planning, contract evaluation, energy purchasing, and infrastructure maintenance. A considerable number of STLF algorithms have introduced a tradeoff between convergence rate and forecast accuracy. This study presents a new wild horse optimization method with a deep learning-based STLF scheme (WHODL-STLFS) for SGs. The presented WHODL-STLFS technique was initially used for the design of a WHO algorithm for the optimal selection of features from the electricity data. In addition, attention-based long short-term memory (ALSTM) was exploited for learning the energy consumption behaviors to forecast the load. Finally, an artificial algae optimization (AAO) algorithm was applied as the hyperparameter optimizer of the ALSTM model. The experimental validation process was carried out on an FE grid and a Dayton grid and the obtained results indicated that the WHODL-STLFS technique achieved accurate load-prediction performance in SGs.

Detection and Protection Against Intrusions on Smart Grid Systems

The wide area monitoring of power systems is implemented at a central control center to coordinate the actions of local controllers. Phasor measurement units (PMUs) are used for the collection of data in real time for the smart grid energy systems. Intrusion detection and cyber security of network are important requirements for maintaining the integrity of wide area monitoring systems. The intrusion detection methods analyze the measurement data to detect any possible cyber attacks on the operation of smart grid systems. In this paper, the model-based and signal-based intrusion detection methods are investigated to detect the presence of malicious data. The chi-square test and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) have been used for anomaly-based detection. The false data injection attack (FDIA) can be detected using measurement residual. If the measurement residual is larger than expected detection threshold, then an alarm is triggered and bad data can be identified. Avoiding such alarms in the residual test is referred to as stealth attack. There are two protection strategies for stealth attack: (1) Select a subset of meters to be protected from the attacker (2) Place secure phasor measurement units in the power grid. An IEEE 14-bus system is simulated using real time digital simulator (RTDS) hardware platform for implementing attack and detection schemes.
