The present article performs short-term electricity demand prediction using deep learning tools for the Ecuadorian electrical system, specifically in the province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. The prediction was carried out using two neural network models: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Fully Connected Neural Network (FCNN).

摘要

The present article performs short-term electricity demand prediction using deep learning tools for the Ecuadorian electrical system, specifically in the province of Santa Elena, Ecuador. The prediction was carried out using two neural network models: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Fully Connected Neural Network (FCNN). Additionally, exogenous variables such as temperature and relative humidity were incorporated. Historical data of exogenous variables were obtained from the NASA POWER | DAVe website with the aim of exploring the relationship between these variables and energy consumption. Subsequently, data processing was conducted, and both neural networks were trained. The results indicate robustness in electricity demand prediction for both architectures; however, the LSTM network exhibits significantly higher accuracy, evidenced by a Coefficient of Determination ( \({\text{R}}^{2}\) ) of 0.986 compared to FCNN. These findings suggest that LSTM has an enhanced capacity to model and anticipate electricity demand, as it considers the correlation with exogenous variables that affect electricity consumption.
