Electricity usage prediction using developed human evolutionary optimization algorithm and Xception neural network

The research paper introduces a novel technique for forecasting electricity usage by utilizing the Developed human evolutionary optimization (DHEO) algorithm and the Xception Neural Network (Xception-NN) model. The Xception-NN model, which is a modified deep learning framework, processes time-series data and incorporates various factors such as weather conditions, demographic insights, and economic indicators. By refining the model's parameters, the DHEO algorithm, inspired by human evolutionary principles, enables a more accurate capture of intricate dependencies and patterns in electricity consumption data. This approach provides energy companies and utilities with a means to enhance their predictions, optimize energy production, and effectively anticipate future demand. Additionally, the study investigates electricity consumption under two scenarios: Base Line (BL) and Energy Conservation (EC), with a focus on the volume of electricity consumed across different sectors. The EC scenario leads to a notable 6.54% reduction in electricity consumption, with the industry sector experiencing the most significant decline.
