Forecasting of electricity consumption by industrial enterprises with a continuous nature of production based on the principal component method (PCA)

Abstract

Forecasting the consumption of electrical energy is important to improve its efficiency and, as a result, to improve the competitiveness of manufactured products by reducing the share of electricity costs in the cost of production. When determining the forecast indicators of electricity consumption by industrial enterprises, it is advisable to use modern high-precision forecasting methods that ensure the minimum value of the forecast error. Each enterprise must preliminarily determine, with the greatest possible accuracy, the amount and schedule of electricity consumption and then strictly adhere to them, thereby minimizing penalties and fines. The article deals with the issues of forecasting power consumption by industrial enterprises (on the example of a metallurgical enterprise) using the enlarged block diagram of the algorithm for predicting power consumption by the method of principal components (PCA) developed by the authors. Comparisons of the actual and predicted power consumption according to the developed model are made. The adequacy of the model is confirmed by small discrepancies between the actual and forecast data. This allows it to be used in determining the predicted values of power consumption parameters at ferrous metallurgy enterprises.

Development of the theory of complexly closed city electrical networks

“…Under one general plan, under one cadastre, where there will be no new construction. As a result, it is possible to use complex electrical networks using digital automation when designing power supply in cities [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

Increasing the environmental cleanness of industrial enterprises

“…Changing the fuel and energy standards and improving the environmental friendliness of fuel combustion. The load on the environment decreases with an increase in the fuel and energy balance (TEB) of the share of more environmentally friendly sources of primary energy: fuel with less carbon or no carbon at all (uranium, hydrogen), renewable energy sources, and in the long term -fuel for thermonuclear power plants [11][12][13][14][15][16]. show that coal combustion is accompanied by the release of the largest volume of pollutants and, above all, such dangerous ones as benzopyrene.…”

Developing logical steps to integrate technical university students into the virtual reality laboratory learning environment

“…-The U.S. Department of Education's data from 2020 presents a compelling argument for VR, highlighting a 15% boost in retention rates for complex subjects when taught through VR labs as opposed to traditional methods [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
