In this article, an optimal on-grid MicroGrid (MG) is designed considering long-term load demand prediction. Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been used for time-series load prediction. Yearly demand growth has also been considered in the optimization process based on the forecasted load profile. Two case studies have been performed with the forecasted and historical load profiles, respectively. It has been shown that by applying the forecasted load profile, realistic results of net present cost (NPC), cost of energy (COE) and MG configuration would be achieved. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that utilizing battery storage systems (BSSs) are not economic in the proposed system. The introduced MG also produces lower emission compared to the system with the historical load profile.

Ultra-short-term load demand forecasting is significant to the rapid response and real-time dispatching of the power demand side. Considering too many random factors that affect the load, this paper combines convolution, long short-term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) algorithms to propose an ultra-short-term load forecasting model based on deep learning. Firstly, more than 100,000 pieces of historical load and meteorological data from Beijing in the three years from 2016 to 2018 were collected, and the meteorological data were divided into 18 types considering the actual meteorological characteristics of Beijing. Secondly, after the standardized processing of the time-series samples, the convolution filter was used to extract the features of the high-order samples to reduce the number of training parameters. On this basis, the LSTM layer and GRU layer were used for modeling based on time series. A dropout layer was introduced after each layer to reduce the risk of overfitting. Finally, load prediction results were output as a dense layer. In the model training process, the mean square error (MSE) was used as the objective optimization function to train the deep learning model and find the optimal super parameter. In addition, based on the average training time, training error, and prediction error, this paper verifies the effectiveness and practicability of the load prediction model proposed under the deep learning structure in this paper by comparing it with four other models including GRU, LSTM, Conv-GRU, and Conv-LSTM.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Karet spesifikasi teknis (TSR) merupakan jenis karet alam yang penting, dengan pertumbuhan permintaan yang tinggi dibanding jenis karet alam yang diproduksi dan diekspor oleh Indonesia. TSR paling banyak digunakan sebagai bahan baku untuk industri ban, sehingga dengan tumbuhnya indutri otomotif mendorong peningkatan permintaan terhadap TSR. Namun permasalahan muncul dalam produksi TSR, dimana tingkat  fluktuasi baik karena kelebihan maupun kekurangan produksi sangat berpengaruh terhadap perubahan harga TSR di pasar Internasional. Untuk mengurangi fluktuasi tersebut diperlukan suatu metode untuk memperkirakan tingkat permintaan dan harga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang suatu metode prakiraan yang dapat merperkirakan tingkat harga dan volume permintaan untuk TSR 20.  Prakiraan dilakukan dengan Jaringan Syaraf Tiruan (JST) dengan algoritma propagasi balik, menggunakan data perkembangan pasar TSR di bursa berjangka SICOM. Model JST yang dirancang  mempertimbangkan pola harga, pola permintaan dan interaksi kedua faktor.  Hasil simulasi menunjukkan penggunaan 5 input neuron yaitu: 1) harga tertinggi, 2) harga terendah, 3) harga penutupan, 4) volume permintaan awal, 5) volume permintaan penutupan, 15 neuron pada lapisan tersembunyi dan 2 output yaitu harga dan volume permintaan pada lapisan output. Tingkat akurasi hasil prakiraan harga mencapai 91% dan akurasi prakiraan permintaan 87%. Berdasarkan hasil prakiraan ditentukan status harga dan permintaan. Harga tinggi jika perbedaan antara nilai maksimum dan nilai tengah lebih tinggi dari 47%, harga rendah jika perbedaan antara nilai minimum dan nilai tengah lebih dari 20%.  Prakiraan permintaan dinyatakan tinggi atau rendah jika terjadi peningkatan maupun penurunan sebesar 50 % dari rata-rata permintaan<em>.</em></p><h6 style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Abstract</em> </strong></h6><p style="text-align: justify;">Technically Specified Rubber (TSR) is the most important of natural rubber type which has a high demand growth which is produced and exported by Indonesia. TSR is mostly used as raw material for tire industries, as the world’s automotive industries grow up the demand for TSR is also rise up. However, the problem appears in the production of TSR, which is fluctuative production rate in the form of over and under production correlated to the price change in International market.  Therefore, a method to forecast the price and demand level is needed to design in order to reduce fluctuation. The result is a forecasting that used as an input for preparing and adjusting TSR rubber production planning that working adaptively with market condition by utilising the expert knowledge. This research aimed to design a method that can forecast the changes in price level and demand volume. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) which is  backpropagation algorithm that has been designed according to data TSR market condition in SICOM is used in this research, the ANN model is modified by observing the price pattern, demand pattern and the connection between both of them together. Experiments have shown that the optimal architecture network for price and demand forecasting can be obtained by using 5 different neuron parameter, there are: 1) the highest price, 2) the lowest price, 3) the closing price, 4) demand volume interest, 5) demand volume close for input layer, 15 neuron for hidden layer and 2 different neuron there are price and demand volume for output layer.

Multi-step passenger demand forecasting is a crucial task in on-demand vehicle sharing services. However, predicting passenger demand is generally challenging due to the nonlinear and dynamic spatial-temporal dependencies. In this work, we propose to model multi-step citywide passenger demand prediction based on a graph and use a hierarchical graph convolutional structure to capture both spatial and temporal correlations simultaneously. Our model consists of three parts: 1) a long-term encoder to encode historical passenger demands; 2) a short-term encoder to derive the next-step prediction for generating multi-step prediction; 3) an attention-based output module to model the dynamic temporal and channel-wise information. Experiments on three real-world datasets show that our model consistently outperforms many baseline methods and state-of-the-art models.
