The use of machine learning to classify electricity consumption profiles in different regions of Brazil
Machine Learning; Transfer Learning; energy forecasting
Accurate forecasting of energy consumption can significantly contribute to improving distribution management and
potentially contribute to controlling and reducing energy consumption rates. Advances in data-based computational
techniques are becoming increasingly robust and popular as they achieve good accuracy in results. This study
proposes the development of a model capable of classifying energy consumption profiles in the residential sector,
using machine learning and transfer learning techniques. The application of Machine Learning (MA) techniques in
energy production can indicate great potential for controlling and managing the production and distribution of
electric energy, which can bring greater efficiency, improve production and optimize distribution. In this study, we
combine AM techniques with the transfer of learning that is able to use pre-established knowledge in new contexts
(knowledge bases), making the energy forecasting process more efficient and robust.
