Short Term Load Forecasting using feature engineering

This repository provides the code for the paper "A Novel Technique for Short-Term Load Forecasting Using Sequential Models and Feature Engineering" available at paper .

---

Introduction

In the paper tests were performed on five different datasets: Smart Grid Smart City (SGSC), The Almanac of Minutely Power dataset (AMPD), Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE), The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), Pakistan Residential Electricity Consumption (PRECON).In this repository we provide the code for the derived models and derived feature generation. The code provided is generic and needs to be slightly modified to fit the format of each dataset.

Dependencies

Make sure you have Python>=3.6 installed on your machine.

pip install -q requirements.txt

Training

Training and Testing and Graph Generation funcations arfe provided in /src/utils.py, which are imported in Experiments.ipynb. The experiments notebook contains code for agressive training and testing models on a particular dataset.

Set the parameters to select differnet model types, evaluation and loss functions and features.

Example:

experiment_type = "derived"
loss_function = "mape"
windows = [12]
model_names = ['LSTM']

Runs experiment using LSTM model with MAPE loss fucntion and 12 timesteps and derived features.
