Short-term water demand predictions coupling an artificial neural network model and a genetic algorithm

The application of artificial neural network (ANN) models for short-term (15 min) urban water demand predictions is evaluated. Optimization of the ANN model's hyperparameters with a genetic algorithm (GA) and use of a growing window approach for training the model are also evaluated. The result...

description The application of artificial neural network (ANN) models for short-term (15 min) urban water demand predictions is evaluated. Optimization of the ANN model's hyperparameters with a genetic algorithm (GA) and use of a growing window approach for training the model are also evaluated.

HIGHLIGHTS ANN models were used for short-term (15 min) urban water demand predictions.; The hyperparameters of the ANN model were optimized with a genetic algorithm for better model performance.; The results of the ANN approach were compared to an ARIMA and a pattern-based models for two different datasets.; The performance results proved GA optimized ANN model as an efficient approach for short-term UWD predictions.;
