Forecasting systems for the electricity market generation have become one of the foremost
research topics in the power industry. It is essential to have a forecasting system that can
accurately predict electricity generation for planning and operation in the electricity market.
This thesis also proposed a novel system called multi prediction system and it is developed
based on long short term memory and gated recurrent unit models. This proposed system is
able to predict the electricity market generation with high accuracy.
Multi Prediction System is based on four stages which include a data collecting and
pre-processing module, a multi-input feature model, multi forecast model and mean absolute
percentage error. The data collecting and pre-processing module preprocess the real-time
data using a window method. Multi-input feature model uses single input feeding method,
double input feeding method and multiple feeding method for features input to the multi
forecast model. Multi forecast model integrates long short term memory and gated recurrent
unit variations such as regression model, regression with time steps model, memory between
batches model and stacked model to predict the future generation of electricity. The mean
absolute percentage error calculation was utilized to evaluate the accuracy of the prediction.
The proposed system achieved high accuracy results to demonstrate its performance
Internet of Things-aided Smart Grid: Technologies, Architectures, Applications, Prototypes, and Future Research Directions
Traditional power grids are being transformed into Smart Grids (SGs) to
address the issues in existing power system due to uni-directional information
flow, energy wastage, growing energy demand, reliability and security. SGs
offer bi-directional energy flow between service providers and consumers,
involving power generation, transmission, distribution and utilization systems.
SGs employ various devices for the monitoring, analysis and control of the
grid, deployed at power plants, distribution centers and in consumers' premises
in a very large number. Hence, an SG requires connectivity, automation and the
tracking of such devices. This is achieved with the help of Internet of Things
(IoT). IoT helps SG systems to support various network functions throughout the
generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of energy by
incorporating IoT devices (such as sensors, actuators and smart meters), as
well as by providing the connectivity, automation and tracking for such
devices. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on IoT-aided SG
systems, which includes the existing architectures, applications and prototypes
of IoT-aided SG systems. This survey also highlights the open issues,
challenges and future research directions for IoT-aided SG systems
When Things Matter: A Data-Centric View of the Internet of Things
With the recent advances in radio-frequency identification (RFID), low-cost
wireless sensor devices, and Web technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT)
approach has gained momentum in connecting everyday objects to the Internet and
facilitating machine-to-human and machine-to-machine communication with the
physical world. While IoT offers the capability to connect and integrate both
digital and physical entities, enabling a whole new class of applications and
services, several significant challenges need to be addressed before these
applications and services can be fully realized. A fundamental challenge
centers around managing IoT data, typically produced in dynamic and volatile
environments, which is not only extremely large in scale and volume, but also
noisy, and continuous. This article surveys the main techniques and
state-of-the-art research efforts in IoT from data-centric perspectives,
including data stream processing, data storage models, complex event
processing, and searching in IoT. Open research issues for IoT data management
are also discussed

FedDP: A privacy-protecting theft detection scheme in smart grids using federated learning
In smart grids (SGs), the systematic utilization of consumer energy data while maintaining its privacy is of paramount importance. This research addresses this problem by energy theft detection while preserving the privacy of client data. In particular, this research identifies centralized models as more accurate in predicting energy theft in SGs but with no or significantly less data protection. Current research proposes a novel federated learning (FL) framework, namely FedDP, to tackle this issue. The proposed framework enables various clients to benefit from on-device prediction with very little communication overhead and to learn from the experience of other clients with the help of a central server (CS). Furthermore, for the accurate identification of energy theft, the use of a novel federated voting classifier (FVC) is proposed. FVC uses the majority voting-based consensus of traditional machine learning (ML) classifiers namely, random forests (RF), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and bagging classifiers (BG). To the best of our knowledge, conventional ML classifiers have never been used in a federated manner for energy theft detection in SGs. Finally, substantial experiments are performed on the real-world energy consumption dataset. Results illustrate that the proposed model can accurately and efficiently detect energy theft in SGs while guaranteeing the security of client data
Internet of Things for Sustainability: Perspectives in Privacy, Cybersecurity, and Future Trends
In the sustainability IoT, the cybersecurity risks to things, sensors, and monitoring systems are distinct from the conventional networking systems in many aspects. The interaction of sustainability IoT with the physical world phenomena (e.g., weather, climate, water, and oceans) is mostly not found in the modern information technology systems. Accordingly, actuation, the ability of these devices to make changes in real world based on sensing and monitoring, requires special consideration in terms of privacy and security. Moreover, the energy efficiency, safety, power, performance requirements of these device distinguish them from conventional computers systems. In this chapter, the cybersecurity approaches towards sustainability IoT are discussed in detail. The sustainability IoT risk categorization, risk mitigation goals, and implementation aspects are analyzed. The openness paradox and data dichotomy between privacy and sharing is analyzed. Accordingly, the IoT technology and security standard developments activities are highlighted. The perspectives on opportunities and challenges in IoT for sustainability are given.
