This paper presents an online monitoring system to classify the leakage/discharge current of the insulator in coastal sites using Bidirectional Long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) models on a web-based service. The remote monitoring methodology uses environmental parameters to classify the peak level of leakage/discharge current of the 15kV and 25kV distribution insulators. The sequential weather data, the humidity, temperature, rainfall, dew point, solar illumination, wind speed, air pressure, and wind direction are automatically collected hourly in real-time and transferred to data servers. The hyperparameter optimization for the structure of Bi-LSTM is utilized through the grid search capability in a deep learning machine. The optimized design of Bi-LSTMs improves the performance and accuracy in predicting the leakage/discharge current classification for HDPE and SR of 15kV and 25kV insulators. Compared with persistent methodologies such as recurrent neural networks (RNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and the gated recurrent unit (GRU), the Bi-LSTM has better performance and higher accuracy in predicting the leakage/discharge levels, which are utilized to evaluate the surface pollution of insulators. The optimized structure of the proposed Bi-LSTM model could achieve a maximum improvement of 49.529% error, 12.761% accuracy, 72.736% error, and 36.641% accuracy for training and validating data compared with other models. Moreover, web-based service is developed for maintenance staff to interact with all current and predicted status of insulators. This online leakage current classification has been installed in Mailiao Township in Taiwan and could establish a reasonable maintenance mechanism for 15kV and 25kV distribution insulators.INDEX TERMS Bidirectional long short-term memory, deep learning machine, gated recurrent unit, insulator leakage current classification, long short-term memory, online monitoring leakage current, recurrent neural network.

e economic renewable energy generations have been rapidly developed because of the sharp reduction in the costs of solar panels. It is imperative to forecast the three-phase load power for more effective energy planning and optimization in a smart solar microgrid installed on a building in the Linyuan District, Taiwan. To alleviate this problem, this article proposes a convolution neural network bidirectional long short-term memory (CNN-Bi-LSTM) to accurately predict the short-term three-phase load power in building the energy management system in the smart solar microgrid with the collected data from advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), which have not been investigated before. e three-phase load-predicting methodology is developed using weather parameters and different collected data from AMI. e project evaluates the performance of the CNN-Bi-LSTM model by utilizing hyper-parameter optimization to attain the optimum parameters. e prediction models are trained based on hourly historical input features, selected based on the Pearson correlation coefficient. e performances' optimal structure CNN-Bi-LSTM are validated and compared with the bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM), LSTM, the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and the recurrent neural network (RNN) models. e obtained optimized structure of CNN-Bi-LSTM demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed models in the short-term prediction of three-phase load power in a smart solar microgrid for building with a maximum enhancement of 68.36% and 8.81% average MSE, and 30.26% and 36.36% average MAE during the testing and validating operations.
