Book Synopsis Hybrid Advanced Optimization Methods with Evolutionary Computation Techniques in Energy Forecasting by : Wei-Chiang Hong

Download or read book Hybrid Advanced Optimization Methods with Evolutionary Computation Techniques in Energy Forecasting written by Wei-Chiang Hong. This book was released on 2018. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More accurate and precise energy demand forecasts are required when energy decisions are made in a competitive environment. Particularly in the Big Data era, forecasting models are always based on a complex function combination, and energy data are always complicated. Examples include seasonality, cyclicity, fluctuation, dynamic nonlinearity, and so on. These forecasting models have resulted in an over-reliance on the use of informal judgment and higher expenses when lacking the ability to determine data characteristics and patterns. The hybridization of optimization methods and superior evolutionary algorithms can provide important improvements via good parameter determinations in the optimization process, which is of great assistance to actions taken by energy decision-makers. This book aimed to attract researchers with an interest in the research areas described above. Specifically, it sought contributions to the development of any hybrid optimization methods (e.g., quadratic programming techniques, chaotic mapping, fuzzy inference theory, quantum computing, et cetera) with advanced algorithms (e.g., genetic algorithms, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization algorithm, et cetera) that have superior capabilities over the traditional optimization approaches to overcome some embedded drawbacks, and the application of these advanced hybrid approaches to significantly improve forecasting accuracy.
