Multi-Kernel Learning based Sugar Industry Load Forecasting

Abstract

Sugar industry which plans for power usage from Bagasse also needs the load forecasting carried out using the energy audit data. The stochastic nature of the load demand of the sugar industry needs to be forecasted in advance for the assuring uninterrupted power delivery to the industry. The manual energy audit data obtained from the sugar industry for a period of time is obtained and trained on a regression based on MultiKernel Learning (MKL). The Support Vector Regression (SVR) formulation is applied with the MultiKernel topology and the performance parameters including the Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) is observed in the implementation. The algorithm is the Multi Kernel Support Vector Regression algorithm using the Python based toolbox.
