Optimized LSTM for Accurate Smart Grid Stability Prediction Using a Novel Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

The stability of smart grids is crucial for ensuring reliable and efficient power distribution in modern energy systems. This paper presents an optimized Long Short-Term Memory model for predicting smart grid stability, leveraging the Novel Guide-Waterwheel Plant Algorithm (Guide-WWPA) for enhanced performance. Traditional methods often struggle with the complexity and dynamic nature of smart grids, necessitating advanced approaches for accurate predictions. The proposed LSTM model, optimized using Guide-WWPA, addresses these challenges by effectively capturing temporal dependencies and nonlinear relationships in the data. The proposed approach involves a comprehensive preprocessing pipeline to handle data heterogeneity and noise, followed by the implementation of the LSTM model optimized through Guide-WWPA. The Guide-WWPA combines the strength of the WWPA with a novel guidance mechanism, ensuring efficient exploration and exploitation of the search space. The optimized LSTM is evaluated on a real-world smart grid dataset, demonstrating superior performance compared to traditional optimization techniques. Experimental Results indicate significant improvements in prediction accuracy and computational efficiency, highlighting the potential of the Guide-WWPA optimized LSTM for real-time smart grid stability prediction. This work contributes to the development of intelligent energy management systems, offering a robust tool for maintaining grid stability and enhancing overall energy reliability. On the other hand, statistical evaluations were carried out to prove the stability and difference of the proposed methodology. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the Guide-WWPA + LSTM strategy is superior to the other machine learning approaches.
