CBGA: A deep learning method for power grid communication networks service activity prediction.

The prediction of power equipment activity plays a vital role in optimizing power resource dispatch, ensuring supply and demand balance, and guiding network planning and management. However, due to the complex nonlinear, multi-scale, and multivariate characteristics of power grid communication networks service activity (PCNSA) data, it is often challenging to capture its intrinsic patterns and dynamic changes through a simple model. To address this issue, this paper proposes a power grid communication network service activity prediction method based on convolutional neural network, bidirectional gated recurrent unit, and attention mechanism, referred to as CBGA. CNN is used to extract features from time-series data, BiGRU is used to capture long-term feature changes in the data, and the attention mechanism is used to enhance the extraction of important information. To validate the performance of the proposed method, experiments and comparisons were conducted on three real power grid communication network datasets, demonstrating that our method shows better performance and robustness.
