For a power supplier, meeting demand-supply equilibrium is of utmost importance. Electrical energy must be generated according to demand, as a
large amount of electrical energy cannot be stored. For the proper
functioning of a power supply system, an adequate model for predicting load is a necessity. In the present world, in almost every industry, whether it be healthcare, agriculture, and consulting, growing digitization and automation is a prominent feature. As a result, large sets of data related to these industries are being generated, which when subjected to rigorous analysis,
yield out-of-the-box methods to optimize the business and services offered. This paper aims to ascertain the viability of long short term memory (LSTM)
neural networks, a recurrent neural network capable of handling both longterm and short-term dependencies of data sets, for predicting load that is to
be met by a Dispatch Center located in a major city. The result shows appreciable accuracy in forecasting future demand.

electric power, load switching, development plans and energy supply according to the demand. The
important factors for forecasting involve short, medium and long term forecasting. Factors in short term
forecasting comprises of whether data, customer classes, working, non-working days and special event
data, while long term forecasting involves historical data, population growth, economic development and
different categories of customers.In this paper we have analyzed the load forecasting data collected from

Load forecasting plays an essential role in power system planning. The efficiency and reliability of the whole power system can be increased with proper planning and organization. Residential load forecasting is indispensable due to its increasing role in the smart grid environment. Nowadays, smart meters can be deployed at the residential level for collecting historical data consumption of residents. Although the employment of smart meters ensures large data availability, the inconsistency of load data makes it challenging and taxing to forecast accurately. Therefore, the traditional forecasting techniques may not suffice the purpose. However, a deep learning forecasting network-based long short-term memory (LSTM) is proposed in this paper. The powerful nonlinear mapping capabilities of RNN in time series make it effective along with the higher learning capabilities of long sequences of LSTM. The proposed method is tested and validated through available real-world data sets. A comparison of LSTM is then made with two traditionally available techniques, exponential smoothing and auto-regressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA). Real data from 12 houses over three months is used to evaluate and validate the performance of load forecasts performed using the three mentioned techniques. LSTM model has achieved the best results due to its higher capability of memorizing large data in time series-based predictions.

Impacts of Demand Side Management on System Reliability Evaluationinventy
Electricity demand in Saudi Arabia is steadily increasing as electrical loads grows at a rate of about 7% per year, this represents a high rate by all standards, and largely due to population growth, as well as due to government subsidies which may lead to prices much lower than actual production cost. This growth represents a challenge that requires Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) to invest huge amounts of money every year, for the construction of additional generation capacity along with the reinforcement of transmission network to meet the consumption growth.Also the demand varies frequently throughout the day, causing a waste of a large part of the energy. SEC believes the optimum solution lies in altering the load shape in order to have a better balance between customer’s consumption and SEC’s generation, This paper describes the method for improving the power system reliability by shifting the portion of peak load to off-peak periods This load management scheme can be achieved by lifting the generation during off peak periods and utilizing the stored energy during peak periods. A hybrid set up involving solar and wind energy along with batteries can also be used to store energy and utilize it during peak periods.

In today's industrial world, the growing capacity of renewable energy sources is a crucial factor for sustainable power generation. The application of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy sources, as a clean and safe renewable energy resource has found great attention among the consumers in the recent decades. Accurate forecasting of the generated PV power is an important task for scheduling the generators and planning the consumption patterns of customers to save electricity costs. To this end, it is necessary to develop a global model of the generated power based on the effective factors which are mainly the solar radiation intensity and the ambient weather temperature. As a result of the wide numerical range of these parameters and various weather conditions, a large training database must be used for developing the models, which results in high-computational complexity of the algorithms used for training the models. In this paper, a novel algorithm for point to point prediction of the generated power based on the least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) has been proposed which can handle the large training database with a very fewer deal of computation and benefits from reasonable accuracy and generalization capability.

This system imports the real-time temperature and global solar irradiance records from the ASU weather station and associates these records with the available solar PV production measurements to provide the proper inputs for the pre-trained machine learning system along with the records’ time with respect to the current year. The machine learning system was pre-trained and optimised based on the Bayesian Regularization (BR) algorithm, as described in our previous research, and used to predict the solar power PV production for the next 24 hours using weather data of the last five consecutive days. Hourly predictions are provided as a power/time curve and published in real-time at the website of the renewable energy center (REC) of Applied Science Private University (ASU). It is believed that the forecasts provided by the PVPF tool can be helpful for energy management and control systems and will be used widely for the future research activities at REC.

The electric grid is radically evolving into the smart grid, which is characterized by improved energy
efficiency of available resources. The smart grid permits interactions among its computational and physical

Image-fusion provide users with detailed information about the urban and rural environment, which is useful for applications such as urban planning and management when higher spatial resolution images are not available. There are different image fusion methods. This paper implements, evaluates, and compares six satellite image-fusion methods, namely wavelet 2D-M transform, gram schmidt, high-frequency modulation, high pass filter (HPF) transform, simple mean value, and PCA. An Ikonos image (PanchromaticPAN and multispectral-MULTI) showing the northwest of Bogotá (Colombia) is used to generate six fused images: MULTIWavelet 2D-M, MULTIG-S, MULTIMHF, MULTIHPF, MULTISMV, and MULTIPCA. In order to assess the efficiency of the six image-fusion methods, the resulting images were evaluated in terms of both spatial quality and spectral quality. To this end, four metrics were applied, namely the correlation index, erreur relative globale adimensionnelle de synthese (ERGAS), relative average spectral error (RASE) and the Q index. The best results were obtained for the MULTISMV image, which exhibited spectral correlation higher than 0.85, a Q index of 0.84, and the highest scores in spectral assessment according to ERGAS and RASE, 4.36% and 17.39% respectively.

Image encryption enables users to safely transmit digital photographs via a wireless medium while maintaining enhanced anonymity and validity. Numerous studies are being conducted to strengthen picture encryption systems. Elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) is an effective tool for safely transferring images and recovering them at the receiver end in asymmetric cryptosystems. This method's key generation generates a public and private key pair that is used to encrypt and decrypt a picture. They use a public key to encrypt the picture before sending it to the intended user. When the receiver receives the image, they use their private key to decrypt it. This paper proposes an ECC-dependent image encryption scheme utilizing an enhancement strategy based on the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) algorithm. The private key generation step of the ECC system uses a GSAbased optimization process to boost the efficiency of picture encryption. The image's output is used as a health attribute in the optimization phase, such as the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) value, which demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed approach. As comparison to the ECC method, it has been discovered that the suggested encryption scheme offers better optimal PSNR values.

Cryptography and steganography are among the most important sciences that have been properly used to keep confidential data from potential spies and hackers. They can be used separately or together. Encryption involves the basic principle of instantaneous conversion of valuable information into a specific form that unauthorized persons will not understand to decrypt it. While steganography is the science of embedding confidential data inside a cover, in a way that cannot be recognized or seen by the human eye. This paper presents a high-resolution chaotic approach applied to images that hide information. A more secure and reliable system is designed to properly include confidential data transmitted through transmission channels. This is done by working the use of encryption and steganography together. This work proposed a new method that achieves a very high level of hidden information based on non-uniform systems by generating a random index vector (RIV) for hidden data within least significant bit (LSB) image pixels. This method prevents the reduction of image quality. The simulation results also show that the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is up to 74.87 dB and the mean square error (MSE) values is up to 0.0828, which sufficiently indicates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposes a new hybrid method between the learning-based and handcrafted methods for a stereo matching algorithm. The main purpose of the stereo matching algorithm is to produce a disparity map. This map is essential for many applications, including three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction. The raw disparity map computed by a convolutional neural network (CNN) is still prone to errors in the low texture region. The algorithm is set to improve the matching cost computation stage with hybrid CNN-based combined with truncated directional intensity computation. The difference in truncated directional intensity value is employed to decrease radiometric errors. The proposed method’s raw matching cost went through the cost aggregation step using the bilateral filter (BF) to improve accuracy. The winner-take-all (WTA) optimization uses the aggregated cost volume to produce an initial disparity map. Finally, a series of refinement processes enhance the initial disparity map for a more accurate final disparity map. This paper verified the performance of the algorithm using the Middlebury online stereo benchmarking system. The proposed algorithm achieves the objective of generating a more accurate and smooth disparity map with different depths at low texture regions through better matching cost quality.

Due to the advances in information and communication technologies, the usage of the internet of things (IoT) has reached an evolutionary process in the development of the modern health care environment. In the recent human health care analysis system, the amount of brain tumor patients has increased severely and placed in the 10th position of the leading cause of death. Previous state-of-the-art techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) faces challenges in brain tumor detection as it requires accurate image segmentation. A wide variety of algorithms were developed earlier to classify MRI images which are computationally very complex and expensive. In this paper, a cost-effective stochastic method for the automatic detection of brain tumors using the IoT is proposed. The proposed system uses the physical activities of the brain to detect brain tumors. To track the daily brain activities, a portable wrist band named Mi Band 2, temperature, and blood pressure monitoring sensors embedded with Arduino-Uno are used and the system achieved an accuracy of 99.3%. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the designed method in detecting brain tumors automatically and produce better accuracy in comparison to previous approaches.

The extended utilization of picture-enhancing or manipulating tools has led to ease of manipulating multimedia data which includes digital images. These manipulations will disturb the truthfulness and lawfulness of images, resulting in misapprehension, and might disturb social security. The image forensic approach has been employed for detecting whether or not an image has been manipulated with the usage of positive attacks which includes splicing, and copy-move. This paper provides a competent tampering detection technique using resampling features and convolution neural network (CNN). In this model range spatial filtering (RSF)-CNN, throughout preprocessing the image is divided into consistent patches. Then, within every patch, the resampling features are extracted by utilizing affine transformation and the Laplacian operator. Then, the extracted features are accumulated for creating descriptors by using CNN. A wide-ranging analysis is performed for assessing tampering detection and tampered region segmentation accuracies of proposed RSF-CNN based tampering detection procedures considering various falsifications and post-processing attacks which include joint photographic expert group (JPEG) compression, scaling, rotations, noise additions, and more than one manipulation. From the achieved results, it can be visible the RSF-CNN primarily based tampering detection with adequately higher accurateness than existing tampering detection methodologies.

Singular nonlinear systems have received wide attention in recent years, and can be found in various applications of engineering practice. On the basis of the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) formalism, which represents a powerful tool allowing the study and the treatment of nonlinear systems, many control and diagnostic problems have been treated in the literature. In this work, we aim to present a new approach making it possible to estimate simultaneously both non-measurable states and unknown faults in the actuators and sensors for a class of continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno singular model (CTSSM). Firstly, the considered class of CTSSM is represented in the case of premise variables which are non-measurable, and is subjected to actuator and sensor faults. Secondly, the suggested observer is synthesized based on the decomposition approach. Next, the observer’s gain matrices are determined using the Lyapunov theory and the constraints are defined as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a numerical simulation on an application example is given to demonstrate the usefulness and the good performance of the proposed dynamic system.

Cooperative hunting is one of the important problems that exist in many areas such as military and industry, requiring cooperation between robots in order to accomplish the hunting process effectively. This paper proposed a cooperative hunting strategy for a multi-robot system based on wolf swarm algorithm (WSA) and artificial potential field (APF) in order to hunt by several robots a dynamic target whose behavior is unexpected. The formation of the robots within the multi-robot system contains three types of roles: the leader, the follower, and the antagonist. Each role is characterized by a different cognitive behavior. The robots arrive at the hunting point accurately and rapidly while avoiding static and dynamic obstacles through the artificial potential field algorithm to hunt the moving target. Simulation results are given in this paper to demonstrate the validity and the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
Agricultural harvesting using integrated robot systemIJEECSIAES
In today's competitive world, robot designs are developed to simplify and improve quality wherever necessary. The rise in technology and modernization has led people from the unskilled sector to shift to the skilled sector. The agricultural sector's solution for harvesting fruits and vegetables is manual labor and a few other agro bots that are expensive and have various limitations when it comes to harvesting. Although robots present may achieve harvesting, the affordability of such designs may not be possible by small and medium-scale producers. The integrated robot system is designed to solve this problem, and when compared with the existing manual methods, this seems to be the most cost-effective, efficient, and viable solution. The robot uses deep learning for image detection, and the object is acquired using robotic manipulators. The robot uses a Cartesian and articulated configuration to perform the picking action. In the end, the robot is operated where carrots and cantaloupes were harvested. The data of the harvested crops are used to arrive at the conclusion of the robot's accuracy.

The aim of the proposed paper is an analytical model and realization of the characteristics for tunnel field-effect transistor (TFET) based on charge plasma (CP). One of the most applications of the TFET device which operates based on CP technique is the biosensor. CP-TFET is to be used as an effective device to detect the uncharged molecules of the bio-sample solution. Charge plasma is one of some techniques that recently invited to induce charge carriers inside the devices. In this proposed paper we use a high work function in the source (ϕ=5.93 eV) to induce hole charges and we use a lower work function in drain (ϕ=3.90 eV) to induce electron charges. Many electrical characterizations in this paper are considered to study the performance of this device like a current drain (ID) versus voltage gate (Vgs), ION/IOFF ratio, threshold voltage (VT) transconductance (gm), and subthreshold swing (SS). The signification of this paper comes into view enhancement the performance of the device. Results show that high dielectric (K=12), oxide thickness (Tox=1 nm), channel length (Lch=42 nm), and higher work function for the gate (ϕ=4.5 eV) tend to best charge plasma silicon tunnel field-effect transistor characterization.
A new smart approach of an efficient energy consumption management by using a...IJEECSIAES
Many consumers of electric power have excesses in their electric power consumptions that exceed the permissible limit by the electrical power distribution stations, and then we proposed a validation approach that works intelligently by applying machine learning (ML) technology to teach electrical consumers how to properly consume without wasting energy expended. The validation approach is one of a large combination of intelligent processes related to energy consumption which is called the efficient energy consumption management (EECM) approaches, and it connected with the internet of things (IoT) technology to be linked to Google Firebase Cloud where a utility center used to check whether the consumption of the efficient energy is satisfied. It divides the measured data for actual power (Ap) of the electrical model into two portions: the training portion is selected for different maximum actual powers, and the validation portion is determined based on the minimum output power consumption and then used for comparison with the actual required input power. Simulation results show the energy expenditure problem can be solved with good accuracy in energy consumption by reducing the maximum rate (Ap) in a given time (24) hours for a single house, as well as electricity’s bill cost, is reduced.
Parameter selection in data-driven fault detection and diagnosis of the air c...IJEECSIAES
Data-driven fault detection and diagnosis system (FDD) has been proven as simple yet powerful to identify soft and abrupt faults in the air conditioning system, leading to energy saving. However, the challenge is to obtain reliable operation data from the actual building. Therefore, a lab-scaled centralized chilled water air conditioning system was successfully developed in this paper. All necessary sensors were installed to generate reliable operation data for the data-driven FDD. Nevertheless, if a practical system is considered, the number of sensors required would be extensive as it depends on the number of rooms in the building. Hence, parameters impact in the dataset were also investigated to identify critical parameters for fault classifications. The analysis results had identified four critical parameters for data-driven FDD: the rooms' temperature (TTCx), supplied chilled water temperature (TCHWS), supplied chilled water flow rate (VCHWS) and supplied cooled water temperature (TCWS). Results showed that the data-driven FDD successfully diagnosed all six conditions correctly with the proposed parameters for more than 92.3% accuracy; only 0.6-3.4% differed from the original dataset's accuracy. Therefore, the proposed parameters can reduce the number of sensors used for practical buildings, thus reducing installation costs without compromising the FDD accuracy.
A simple faulted phase-based fault distance estimation algorithm for a loop d...IJEECSIAES
This paper presents a single ended faulted phase-based traveling wave fault localization algorithm for loop distribution grids which is that the sensor can
get many reflected signals from the fault point to face the complexity of localization. This localization algorithm uses a band pass filter to remove noise from the corrupted signal. The arriving times of the faulted phasebased filtered signals can be obtained by using phase-modal and discrete
wavelet transformations. The estimated fault distance can be calculated using the traveling wave method. The proposed algorithm presents detail
level analysis using three detail levels coefficients. The proposed algorithm is tested with MATLAB simulation single line to ground fault in a 10 kV grounded loop distribution system. The simulation result shows that the
faulted phase time delay can give better accuracy than using conventional time delays. The proposed algorithm can give fault distance estimation accuracy up to 99.7% with 30 dB contaminated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
for the nearest lines from the measured terminal.

For a power supplier, meeting demand-supply equilibrium is of utmost
importance. Electrical energy must be generated according to demand, as a
large amount of electrical energy cannot be stored. For the proper
functioning of a power supply system, an adequate model for predicting load
is a necessity. In the present world, in almost every industry, whether it be
healthcare, agriculture, and consulting, growing digitization and automation
is a prominent feature. As a result, large sets of data related to these
industries are being generated, which when subjected to rigorous analysis,
yield out-of-the-box methods to optimize the business and services offered.
This paper aims to ascertain the viability of long short term memory (LSTM)
neural networks, a recurrent neural network capable of handling both long-
term and short-term dependencies of data sets, for predicting load that is to
be met by a Dispatch Center located in a major city. The result shows
appreciable accuracy in forecasting future demand.

1. INTRODUCTION
Electricity is an extremely important source of energy and plays a significant role in a country’s
economic development [1]. Load forecasting is necessary for the proper functioning of electrical dispatch
centers. Load forecasting is a method used to maintain synchronicity of demand and supply of electrical
power. With a greater contention for the market and greater decentralization, short-term forecasting is
becoming more significant [2]. In an age where smart grids with advanced sensing and communication are
fast becoming a reality, load forecasting is a field where the scope and necessity of accuracy are increasing
day by day [3]. Numerous significant decisions depend upon the load forecasts like economic dispatch,
distribution schedule, schedule of protection, and maintenance measures [4]. From proper maintenance of
equipment to the economic strategies of the suppliers, load forecasting has a significant impact [5].
Especially for small-scale consumption units, peak load forecasting is very important [6]. Moreover, there
has been an increased tendency of winters being colder and summers being more extreme than before.
Therefore, greater use of equipment like air conditioners and heaters, and their use has become even more
frequent [7]. This has led to more swings in terms of peak load and minimum load.
Many factors impact electrical load, their interrelation is complex and so is the extent to which one
factor overrides one another. The factors can be divided into three categories [8]. Climate is considered the
most important factor [9]. The short-term factors: They are factors that last only a little duration, like a
sudden weather change. The middle-term factors: They last for a substantial duration and have a distinct

43
characteristic that governs the corresponding load variation. For example, seasonal climatic variations. The
long-term factors: They last for a significant time period, and usually over multiple forecasting periods [10].
For a particular area, the temperature is the measure of the average warmth or coolness of the surrounding.
Temperature is far more influential than other factors like wind speed and cloud cover [11].
When the temperature falls to a certain extent, it becomes cold and households require more energy [12].
Similarly, after a temperature rise, more energy is required. Both in summers and winters, there is a strong
correlating contribution between temperature and load curve. There is positive co-relation for summers, i.e.
with temperature rise in summer leading to increased consumption of electrical load as appliances such as
fans, coolers, and air conditioners (ACs), are turned on and if in summer the temperature falls, the same
appliances are turned off for lesser load consumption. But there is a negative co-relation for winters, as only
when the temperature falls, appliances used to keep the households warm are used. Generally, it can be seen,
on working days there are substantial differences in load demands compared to working days and Weekends.
There’s lower consumption on Tuesdays to Thursdays while on weekends and days closer to weekends such
as Mondays and Fridays the consumption is higher [13]. Another trend that can be observed is that on
moving holidays: Holidays which do not have any fixed date, e.g. the religious festivals, also impact the
forecast. Generally, on days of festivals, the demand is relatively higher. But since industrial activities are
lesser, the overall consumption prediction becomes difficult.
In a broad sense, there are two types of models proposed or used for predicting future electrical
demands, conventional statistical techniques, and artificial intelligence (AI) based techniques. Classic models
use historical data and process them, and the estimates of parameters in such models can be easily
interpreted. The models and techniques that fall under this category include auto regressive moving average
(ARIMA) model [14], the regression seasonal ARIMA generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic
(Reg-SARIMA-GARCH) model [15], support vector machine models [16]. Time series model for series
exhibiting multiple complex seasonalities (TBATS) [17]. AI techniques on the other hand prove to be more
flexible due to their ability to adapt to moving data. The AI functions are nonlinear and nonparametric. In
general, the AI models yield better results than traditional ones [18]. Neural networks and deep learning
models have proven to be more accurate for electrical load forecasts than the traditional model. With the
advent of smart grids and the ever-diversifying application of data analytics, a huge amount of data inflow
and ever-increasing applications based on their analysis are expected [19], [20]. AI and machine learning
techniques are expected to find a variety of uses not only in load forecasting but also in theft detection [21],
protection and safety of nuclear [22] and thermal power plants [23] along with power price determination [24].
This paper has attempted to explore the implementation of relatively newer AI techniques in the
domain of electrical load forecasting. Forecasting for electrical loads is a complex process that is prone to
slight errors even when utmost care is taken in choosing the methods. This occurs due to the multiple factors
influencing load patterns. Even such slight errors can lead to grave consequences to power system equipment
and also gravely impact economic interests. These patterns are sometimes completely independent of each
other and thus it becomes inherently impossible to find a co-relation. This paper inspects the use of the long
short term memory (LSTM) model to solve this complex problem. For the same, we have to ensure that the
data set on which this study is to be done, is organically dynamic and encapsulates the impact of all the
factors. To achieve this, we use data taken from a major Dispatch Center, State Load Despatch Center
(SLDC) State Load Dispatch Center, located in Delhi, one of the biggest cities of one of the biggest cities in
the world in terms of active consumers. This paper, therefore, inspects the applicability of the LSTM model
in load forecasting over a dynamic consumer base. This can create a platform for further exploration of the
problem through LSTM using optimizers and supporting mechanisms. LSTM proves to be appreciably viable
in handling the complex problem that electrical load forecasting presents.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
Our focus in this paper was to use the LSTM model to correctly predict the electrical load. LSTM is
often used for time series forecasting, we chose to test how accurate it is for electrical load forecasting. To
implement the algorithm on organic and potent data set, we scrapped the site state load dispatch centre,
Delhi. We scrapped through the data from the 28th
of January to the 28th
of February. Parameters for each
epoch of model development and training are presented in Table 1. From Table 1, 20 epochs were taken, with
a batch consisting of 4600 data points. For cross-validating, 10 epochs were taken. The epochs and batch size
were decided based on calculations and then approximated by trial and error for the best possible result. After
the forecasts, root mean square error is used to compare the actual load to the forecast done by the model and
received satisfactory results.

2.1. The LSTM model
Traditional neural networks cannot use the concept of memory. They can’t use the knowledge of
previous states. This is a major drawback. Recurrent neural networks (RNN) in terms of architecture is not
that different from the conventional neural network. An RNN however is capable of learning from memory.
Figure 1 shows traditional neural networks, it is clear that since the output of neural networks doesn’t loop
back to previous layers, the previous states have no contribution towards future ones. Figure 2 shows a
simple RNN, with a loop. Recurrent neural networks have proved to be powerful and accurate in their
application. LSTM is a slightly different kind of RNN that overcomes some shortcomings of the standard
version.
LSTM does not suffer from the short-term dependency problem of usual RNNs. Recurrent neural
networks tend to prove inefficient when data shows more long term dependency than short term. LSTM does
not have this issue and is considered suitable for time series modelling. LSTMs like RNN have a chain-like
structure. However, in LSTM the repeating module has a slightly more complex structure. Each module has 4
layers and each layer interacts with one another. From Figure 3, it can see a cell state, represented by the top
line running through the entire chain. The cell state only involves a few linear interactions. LSTM repeating
module can either attach or delete the information running in the cell state. This is achieved through a “Gate”.
Gate is maintained or changes the cell state.

Figure 4 shows how one of the reasons LSTM is different from RNN is the absence of a cell state.
The cell state is the key to LSTM’s ability to recognize short-term patterns. Figure 5 highlights the initial
step, which is to determine if the incoming information from the cell state is to be deleted or not.
Figure 4. RNN does not have the cell states
Figure 5. Highlighting a cell state
The initial step is to determine if the information from an incoming cell state has to be deleted. This
is determined by the “forget gate layer”. Thereafter, we decide if we have to add any information. This is
divided into two steps. An “input Gate layer” will determine the values which are to be updated, afterward a
tan h section that creates a set of value that is to be added in cell state. Hereafter, they are combined to update
the state. To achieve that, we multiply the old state with Function F(t). And we add to it, It∗ C~t. Finally, we
employ a sigmoid layer which determines what will be the output. We now use tanh which restricts values to
a smaller range. Now we ensure certain selected sections are treated as outgoing output using another gate.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Dataset source
For the data, we have scrapped the site of SLDC, Delhi. The SLDC is responsible for an integrated
power supply to Delhi. The site updates load data every five minutes. To scrap the data, we have used
Beautiful soup, a python library used for basic scrapping. It is capable of extracting data from hypertext
markup language and extensible markup language documents. We took load data for the last month. The load
data is taken every 5 minutes. Figure 6 shows the load data obtained for the 23rd
of February 2021. It can be
seen, the load demanded is lesser in the night and peaks during a time span of 9 to 12 o’clock span. In Figure 7
we see the variation of load from 28th
of January 2021 till 28th
of February 2021. It shows the entire 30-day
period load.

3.2. Data cleaning and preparation
Now using seasonal decompose from Python’s Stats model library, we decompose the data (using
daily frequency as a basis) into trends, seasonality, and residue. Figure 8 shows the results of using seasonal
decompose, the topmost is the actual observed data, the next section shows the prevalent trend and then the
regularity of structure is shown by the seasonal part. The next section is the residual part.

3.3. Identifying the trend of the time series data set and detrending
Figure 8 shows the trend of data, which can be considered to be a time series data set. A trend is
defined as a regular increase and decrease of values over the mean. The trend present in the data set is of
stochastic type. Panda et al. [25] argued that detrending can reduce errors in forecasts and improve overall
performance. Thus removal of this trend can improve the forecasting ability of the model. The removal of a
trend is called detrending. Detrending must be done with proper methods else becomes detrimental.
Detrending doesn’t always improve performance, specifically for machine learning applications. However,
we have chosen to detrend our data because it has proven to be beneficial for time series forecasting [26].
3.4. Removing seasonality and rescaling the data
Seasonality refers to regularly repeating patterns in the data set. Seasonal components tend to obscure
the actual data pattern that is significant for modeling [27], [28]. In this work, a different method to remove
seasonality for our data set. Now before the data set can be used for training and fitting into the network, it
should be scaled down to much lower values so that those processing are faster and more efficient [29], [30].
We have scaled down our data to lie between -1 to 1. Figure 9 shows the data after detrending, removal of
seasonality, and rescaling.
Figure 9. Detrended and rescaled data
3.5. Model training and forecast
First data is reshaped and treated to start the model training. From Keras layers, we directly invoke
LSTM and from Keras. Models we invoke sequentially, now we have to decide the epochs and batch
size [31], [32]. We have decided to run the model training for 30 epochs the batch size has been taken as one.
After training for 30 epochs and cross-validating as well, the model is ready for making forecasts. Figure 10
shows the load forecast. Root mean square error (RMSE) or root mean squared error is one of the standard
error parameters when only two dimensions are involved. In this work, RMSE is selected as it doesn’t get
affected by the curse of dimensionality.

3.6. Comparison of forecast with actual load
Figure 11 shows a comparison between forecasts and actual load. The forecast is depicted in orange
color, while the blue graph represents actual load [33]. It shows appreciable accuracy except for a distinct
region located left to the middle mark.
The RMSE evaluation reveals an error of 127 W, which is well within the range of appreciable
accuracy, is about 4.1% to 3.2% of the observed range of peak load experienced in a day. Thus long short
term neural network models show significant accuracy in terms of load forecasting. However, further
accuracy is required to ensure real life application in actual power plants where a difference of 4.1 to 3.2 %
might imply a difference of the magnitudes of 1000s of KWs.
Figure 11. Comparison between actual load and load forecast
4. CONCLUSION
LSTM shows appreciable accuracy for electrical load forecasts. It outperforms traditional statistical
prediction models and also outperforms many earlier used standard RNN methods. However, room for error
persists. Therefore, LSTM can be enhanced with the addition of other techniques. The LSTM model
supported by pinball loss results in better performance than a standard one. Another method is to use various
optimizers to improve the performance of the LSTM network and then using it for the forecasts. LSTMs can
prove to be quite efficient for load forecasts, especially if further improvements are applied to the model. The
proposed methodology is subjected to a dynamic data set. From the results it can be concluded that LSTM as
a single model is relatively more suitable for electrical load forecasting than traditional methods. Moreover,
its superiority might improve beyond other AI techniques with the use of correct optimizers.
