Seminar 46 -- Application of Machine Learning in GEB (Grid-Interactive and Efficient Building) Load Forecasting I PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

High-fidelity building load forecasting model is critical for advanced GEB control. Data-driven load forecasting modeling, especially those that use machine learning methods, receives great interest recently due to its cost-effectiveness and scalability. This two seminar series provides an overview (Seminar I) of the current development, limitations, gaps and future trend of the application of machine learning in GEB load forecasting. Seminar I also discusses a general framework and strategies to defy data bias issues. Several case studies (Seminar II) using various machine learning methods are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of machine learning enabled load forecasting.
