Abstract

Prediction of power consumption is an integral part of the operation and planning of the electricity supply company. In terms of power supply and demand, For the stable supply of electricity, the reserve power must be prepared. However, it is necessary to predict electricity demand because electricity is difficult to store. In this paper, we propose a CNN-LSTM hybrid network that can extract spatio-temporal information to effectively predict the house power consumption. Experiments have shown that CNN-LSTM hybrid networks, which linearly combine convolutional neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM) and deep neural network (DNN), can extract irregular features of electric power consumption. The CNN layer is used to reduce the spectrum of spatial information, the LSTM layer is suitable for modeling temporal information, the DNN layer generates a predicted time series. The CNN-LSTM hybrid approach almost completely predicts power consumption. Finally, the CNN-LSTM hybrid method achieves higher root mean square error (RMSE) than traditional predictive methods for the individual household power consumption data sets provided by the UCI repository.
