Abstract Very short term load forecasting (VSTLF) plays a pivotal role in helping the utility workers make proper decisions regarding generation scheduling, size of spinning reserve, and maintaining equilibrium between the power generated by the utility to fulfil the load demand. However, the development of an effective VSTLF model is challenging in gathering noisy real-time data and complicates features found in load demand variations from time to time. A hybrid approach for VSTLF using an incomplete fuzzy decision system (IFDS) combined with a genetic algorithm (GA) based feature selection technique for load forecasting in an hour ahead format is proposed in this research work. This proposed work aims to determine the load features and eliminate redundant features to form a less complex forecasting model. The proposed method considers the time of the day, temperature, humidity, and dew point as inputs and generates output as forecasted load. The input data and historical load data are collected from the Northern Regional Load Dispatch Centre (NRLDC) New Delhi for December 2009, January 2010 and February 2010. For validation of proposed method efficacy, it’s performance is further compared with other conventional AI techniques like ANN and ANFIS, which are integrated with genetic algorithm-based feature selection technique to boost their performance. These techniques’ accuracy is tested through their mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and normalized root mean square error (nRMSE) value. Compared to other conventional AI techniques and other methods provided through previous studies, the proposed method is found to have acceptable accuracy for 1 h ahead of electrical load forecasting.

Human-computer intelligent interaction (HCII) is a rising field of science that aims to refine and enhance the interaction between computer and human. Since emotion plays a vital role in human daily life, the ability of computer to interpret and response to human emotion is a crucial element for future intelligent system. Accordingly, several studies have been conducted to recognise human emotion using different technique such as facial expression, speech, galvanic skin response (GSR), or heart rate (HR). However, such techniques have problems mainly in terms of credibility and reliability as people can fake their feeling and response. Electroencephalogram (EEG) on the other has shown to be a very effective way in recognising human emotion as this technique records the brain activity of human and they can hardly be deceived by voluntary control. Regardless the popularity of EEG in recognizing human emotion, this study field is relatively challenging as EEG signal is nonlinear, involves myriad factors and chaotic in nature. These issues have led to high dimensional problem and poor classification results. To address such problems, this study has proposed a novel computational model, which consist of three main stages, namely a) feature extraction; b) feature selection and c) classifier. Discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) has been used to extract EEG signals feature and ultimately 204,800 features from 32 subject-independent have been obtained. Meanwhile, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) have been used as a feature selection technique and classifier respectively. This computational model is tested on the common DEAP pre-processed EEG dataset in order to classify three levels of valence and arousal. The empirical results have shown that the proposed GA-LSSVM, has improved the classification results to 49.22% and 54.83% for valence and arousal respectively, whereas is it observed that 46.33% of valence and 48.30% of arousal classification were achieved when no feature selection technique is applied on the identical classifier
