Short-term prediction of regional energy consumption by metaheuristic optimized deep learning models

Modern civilization is heavily dependent on energy, which burdens the energy sector. Therefore, a highly accurate energy consumption forecast is essential to provide valuable information for efficient energy distribution and storage. This study proposed a hybrid deep learning model, called I-CNN-JS, by incorporating a jellyfish search (JS) algorithm into an ImageNetwinning convolutional neural network (I-CNN) to predict weekahead energy consumption.
