Improvement of Classification Algorithms for Energy Saving in Lost Energy Data of Libya Electricity Company Using Weka Model

Abstract

The main goal of this study is to compare the performance of the classification algorithms applied to the SCADA database of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system of the General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL). The company's annual energy and material losses have become seriously important to the Libyan government's research field. The well-established data mining and classification software package known as the WEKA tool is used to minimize these losses,. As necessary data input for algorithms; six different parameters are taken into consideration, namely power production size, energy production duration, energy production date, ambient temperature, humidity level and wind speed. This study is examined in detail for the first time in this article. In addition, considering the temperature variables, humidity, wind and other atmospheric effects of the environment, the energy losses of the company and the country are reduced to a minimum level. As a result, the company's annual electricity consumption is classified as low, medium or high consumption with the simulations. Thus, in cases where energy consumption is high, it is possible to make accurate and rapid decisions regarding the determination and classification of time periods related to energy consumption.
