Deep Learning for Short-Term Load Forecasting—Industrial Consumer Case Study

In the current trend of consumption, electricity consumption will become a very high cost for the end-users. Consumers acquire energy from suppliers who use short, medium, and long-term forecasts to place bids in the power market. This study offers a detailed analysis of relevant literature and prop...

Deep Learning for Short-Term Load Forecasting—Industrial Consumer Case Study
description In the current trend of consumption, electricity consumption will become a very high cost for the end-users. Consumers acquire energy from suppliers who use short, medium, and long-term forecasts to place bids in the power market. This study offers a detailed analysis of relevant literature and proposes a deep learning methodology for forecasting industrial electric usage for the next 24 h. The hourly load curves forecasted are from a large furniture factory. The hourly data for one year is split into training (80%) and testing (20%). The algorithms use the previous two weeks of hourly consumption and exogenous variables as input in the deep neural networks. The best results prove that deep recurrent neural networks can retain long-term dependencies in high volatility time series.
