Smart Home Energy Prediction Using Bayesian Hyper-Parameter Optimization of Gaussian Process Regression
摘要
This paper presents an innovative approach to hybrid parameter tuning using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) to forecast energy consumption patterns in smart homes. This approach combines Bayesian optimization with domain-specific feature engineering to improve prediction accuracy on data derived from multiple heterogeneous smart home data sources such as weather variables and appliance-level consumption logs. The resulting probabilistic forecasts facilitate anticipatory demand-response strategies, reduce peak loads, and optimize renewable energy usage. This paper presents the details of the hybrid parameter tuning method using GPR for a smart home dataset, as case study. We use a subset of parameters from the Rye microgrid dataset to develop supervised machine learning (ML) models that achieve high predictive accuracy for renewable energy production, consumption, and related behavioral dynamics of smart homes.
