CNN-LSTM vs. LSTM-CNN to Predict Power Flow Direction: A Case Study of the High-Voltage Subnet of Northeast Germany

Abstract

The massive installation of renewable energy sources together with energy storage in the power grid can lead to fluctuating energy consumption when there is a bi-directional power flow due to the surplus of electricity generation. To ensure the security and reliability of the power grid, high-quality bi-directional power flow prediction is required. However, predicting bi-directional power flow remains a challenge due to the ever-changing characteristics of power flow and the influence of weather on renewable power generation. To overcome these challenges, we present two of the most popular hybrid deep learning (HDL) models based on a combination of a convolutional neural network (CNN) and long-term memory (LSTM) to predict the power flow in the investigated network cluster. In our approach, the models CNN-LSTM and LSTM-CNN were trained with two different datasets in terms of size and included parameters. The aim was to see whether the size of the dataset and the additional weather data can affect the performance of the proposed model to predict power flow. The result shows that both proposed models can achieve a small error under certain conditions. While the size and parameters of the dataset can affect the training time and accuracy of the HDL model.

CNN-LSTM to Predict and Investigate the Performance of a Thermal/Photovoltaic System Cooled by Nanofluid (Al2O3) in a Hot-Climate Location

“…The capacity of a CNN to acquire highly abstracted object properties makes it one of the deep learning models that is appropriate for visual picture analysis and recognition [42]. However, it can be used to anticipate how well thermal/photovoltaic systems would work because it can also learn time-series data with a variety of attributes.…”

“…The last two layers are the flattening layer and the fully connected layer, respectively. It is important to note that the flattering layer turns data into a one-dimensional vector to allow the fully connected layer to connect neurons between other layers [42].…”

“…Researchers have determined that both methods have distinct advantages and drawbacks. The advantages associated with deep learning methods include a lower error rate, greater flexibility in addressing more intricate problems, and the ability to learn from data using computing power [14]. DL is a highly versatile approach that can be implemented effectively across a range of prediction tasks.…”

“…The first model comprises a fusion of the CNN and LSTM networks, whereas the second model integrates the CNN with the GRU network. The CNN-LSTM architecture is composed of a convolutional layer, a pooling layer, a flattening layer, and an LSTM network [14]. The CNN-GRU model shares a similar structure, except for the fact that the LSTM network has been substituted with the GRU network.…”
