Title
An Improved TCN Considering Data Augmentation in Enabling Load Classification*
Abstract
In modern power system, along with the developments of the data collecting technologies, the intensive and high-dimensional load data collection can be achieved. Therefore, to deeply reveal the patterns and behaviors hidden in the load dataset using load classification is of great significance for improving the service quality and the user experience of the power system. However, inevitable issues, for example the data missing and class imbalance are frequently reported in the present load dataset, which deteriorates the performance of the classification algorithms. Also, due to the special features, for example the time series, periodicity, and fluctuation of the load data, the traditional data classification algorithms also encounter performance defects. Therefore, this paper presents a data augmentation based enhanced temporal convolutional network (TCN) algorithm in enabling load classification. In the data augmentation phase, first an LRTC-TSVD algorithm is presented to implement the missing data completion. Second, a WGAN based class balancing approach is further presented to solve the class imbalance issue. Then, in the enhanced TCN phase, a WeightNorm, exponential linear unit (ELU) activation function, residual connection, and bidirectional feature fusion techniques based improved TCN (ITCN) algorithm is presented to carry out the accurate load data classification. Combining the data augmentation and the enhanced TCN phases, the ITCN algorithm is finally conducted. Based on the benchmark load datasets, the performances of the presented ITCN are evaluated. The experimental results report that the presented data augmentations can improve the quality of the dataset, moreover the classification algorithm is able to achieve the satisfied classification accuracy.
