Optimizing Load Forecasting Using Fuzzy Logic and GOA-ENN Optimization

Problem Definition

The existing problem in load forecasting lies in the limitations of traditional models that rely on fixed learning rates and are susceptible to slow convergence rates, being trapped in local minima, and being affected by weather and environmental conditions. These factors ultimately lead to decreased accuracy and efficiency in load forecasting systems. Additionally, the complexity and time-consuming nature of these models further compound the issue, making it challenging to achieve optimal results in a timely manner. As demonstrated by previous research, the lack of adaptability and flexibility in adjusting learning rates hinders the overall performance of load forecasting models. By addressing these key limitations and problems, the proposed model in this study aims to revolutionize load forecasting by introducing a more efficient and precise algorithm that can adapt to changing conditions and provide more accurate predictions.

Objective

The objective of this study is to revolutionize load forecasting by introducing a more efficient and precise algorithm that can adapt to changing conditions and provide more accurate predictions. This will be achieved by implementing a fuzzy logic-based pattern recognition system for power load classification and utilizing the Elman Neural Network (ENN) with tuning of weight values using the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) for load forecasting. The fuzzy logic system will automatically classify data patterns and categorize output load into different clusters based on similarities determined by average and standard deviation inputs. By using fuzzy system rules, the proposed method aims to improve classification performance and accurately determine cluster membership. Additionally, the integration of ENN with GOA will optimize the network training process, enhance convergence rates, and improve overall forecasting accuracy.

The proposed approach is designed to achieve more efficient results in load forecasting by combining fuzzy logic, ENN, and GOA algorithms.

Proposed Work

From the literature survey conducted, it was found that many researchers have used various meta-heuristic algorithms to enhance the accuracy of load forecasting by reducing the differences between actual and predicted load values. However, most models used fixed learning rates which led to slow convergence rates and the possibility of being trapped in local minima, especially in complex problems. Additionally, these models were time-consuming, less efficient, and easily affected by weather and environmental conditions, ultimately degrading traditional system performance. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel approach using fuzzy logic in conjunction with the GOA-ENN optimization algorithms to overcome the limitations of conventional methods and improve load forecasting accuracy. The main objective of this proposed work is to implement a fuzzy logic-based pattern recognition system for power load classification and utilize the Elman Neural Network (ENN) with tuning of weight values using the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) for load forecasting.

The fuzzy logic system is aimed at classifying data patterns automatically, without manual effort, by categorizing output load into different clusters based on similarities determined by average and standard deviation inputs. By using fuzzy system rules, the proposed method improves classification performance by accurately determining cluster membership. Furthermore, the integration of ENN with GOA enables optimization of the network training process, enhancing convergence rates and overall forecasting accuracy. In conclusion, the proposed approach is designed to achieve more efficient results in load forecasting by optimizing network training through the combined use of fuzzy logic, ENN, and GOA algorithms.

Algorithms Used

In order to overcome the issue related to conventional approaches, this paper proposes a novel model in which fuzzy logic is used along with the combination of GOA-ENN optimization algorithms. The main motive of using fuzzy logic is to classify the patterns of data. For instance, if two data patterns are present in the database, then the two types will be created using fuzzy logic as per the time interval. Fuzzy system will help in deciding the patterns in the data without any manual effort. The proposed fuzzy logic takes two inputs i.

e. average and standard deviation to categorize the output load into two clusters based on their similarities. The proposed fuzzy logic comprises average and standard deviation as two inputs. These two inputs are then pre-processed in the fuzzy system by a defined set of rules to get an output which determines whether the obtained pattern belongs to cluster 1 or cluster 2. Moreover, the proposed method enhances the performance of the classical ENN network by using a meta-heuristic algorithm called as grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA).

The main contribution of the proposed work is to enhance the performance of classification or forecasting rate by optimizing the network training process. The purpose of using the ENN and GOA together is to perform optimization so that an optimal output can be obtained and to increase the convergence rate. Therefore, this proposed approach can help to achieve more efficient results for load forecasting.
