(2024) Seq2Seq Attention for Power Demand Prediction


I implementeda GRU-based Seq2Seq model with attention to predict three quantiles of residential power demand in Texas using historical residential electricity consumption (source: ERCOT Hourly Load Data Archives) and 10-year weather data (source: Weather Underground). The model achieved high accuracy (6% MAPE, 0.35 MAE), outperforming existing literature. 
The forecasts were subsequently used as inputs for stochastic optimization models, supporting energy planning and trading applications.
