Chung-Ang University Researchers Use Deep Learning to Develop a Forecasting Model for Efficiently Managing Electric Grids
The model accurately predicts uncertain parameters related to renewable energy sources for microgrid operation, their energy demand, and market prices The increasing emphasis on green energy has led to the development of renewable energy sources (RESs). RESs are integrated into power supply systems via microgrids (MGs) whose efficient and profitable operation requires handling uncertainties associated with RESs, energy demand, and market prices. To this end, researchers have recently de...
