Decision tree-based prediction approach for improving stable energy management in smart grids

Abstract

Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) has an important role for deploying power and energy management in the smart grids as emerging trend for managing power stability and consumption. In the IoT, smart grids has important role for managing power communication systems with safe data transformation using artificial intelligent approaches such as Machine Learning (ML), evolutionary computation and meta-heuristic algorithms. One of important issues to manage renewable energy consumption is intelligent aggregation of information based on smart metering and detecting the user behaviors for power and electricity consumption in the IoT. To achieve optimal performance for detecting this information, a context-aware prediction system is needed that can apply a resource management effectively for the renewable energy consumption for smart grids in the IoT. Also, prediction results from machine learning methods can be useful to manage optimal solutions for power generation activities, power transformation, smart metering at home and load balancing in smart grid networks. This paper aims to design a new periodical detecting, managing, allocating and analyzing useful information regarding potential renewable power and energy consumptions using a context-aware prediction approach and optimization-based machine learning method to overcome the problem. In the proposed architecture, a decision tree algorithm is provided to predict the grouped information based on important and high-ranked existing features. For evaluating the proposed architecture, some other well-known machine learning methods are compared to the evaluation results. Consequently, after analyzing various components by solving different smart grids datasets, the proposed architecture’s capacity and supremacy are well determined among its traditional approaches.
