Resumen  
Se desarrolló un modelo predictivo para analizar los perfiles de carga en redes de distribución  
eléctrica mediante redes neuronales artificiales. Se empleó una metodología mixta de análisis de  
datos, que combina enfoques cualitativos y cuantitativos. La recopilación de datos se realizó a  
intervalos de 15 minutos, generando 5856 registros de kilovatios (kW), kilovoltamperios (kVA) y  
kilovoltamperios reactivos (kVAr). El modelo se dividió en un 70 % de datos para entrenamiento  
(
4099,2 registros) y un 30 % para validación (1756,8 registros). La arquitectura del modelo consta  
de tres capas: una capa de entrada, capas ocultas para análisis y una capa de salida. Se utilizó  
un modelo secuencial con una capa de entrada LSTM de 200 neuronas y una capa de salida  
densa con una sola neurona. El optimizador Adam y la medida de pérdidas mse se utilizaron  
para el entrenamiento. La función de activación utilizada fue lineal. Finalmente, el modelo  
demostró un error de pronóstico de ±3,57 % para el modelo 2 y de ±4,38 % para el modelo 3, lo  
que lo hace eficaz para la planificación eléctrica.

Abstract  
A predictive model was developed to analyze load profiles in electric power distribution networks  
using artificial neural networks. A mixed data analysis methodology, combining qualitative and  
quantitative approaches. Data collection was performed at 15-minute intervals, generating 5856  
kilowatt (kW), kilovolt-ampere (kVA) and kilovolt ampere reactive (kVAr) records. The model was  
divided into 70% data for training (4099.2 records) and 30% for validation (1756.8 records). The  
model architecture consists of three layers: an input layer, hidden layers for analysis and an output  
layer. A sequential model with a 200 - neuron LSTM input layer and a dense output layer with a  
single neuron was used. The optimizer Adam and the loss measure mse were used for training.  
The activation function used was linear. Finally, the model demonstrated a forecast error of ±  
3
.57% for model 2 and ± 4.38% for model 3, making it effective for electrical planning.  
Keywords: Artificial, Networks, Model, LSTM, Optimizer, Distribution.

strategic planning of electric power  
generation [5].  
To begin with, it is mentioned that the  
efficient management of electricity  
demand peaks becomes crucial,  
facing challenges in the network.  
Strategies such as smart pricing and  
anticipatory control, however, are  
affected by consumer privacy [1].  
The innovative strategy that detects  
utility maximization without the need-  
to-know specific details of the  
consumer's utility function [2] And,

improving the accuracy of day-ahead

approaches such as the combination  
of Exponential Smoothing (EMA) and  
Long Short-Term Memory networks  
The rising cost of energy, driven by  
the scarcity of fossil fuels, has  
accelerated the search for more  
sustainable sources. The integration  
of neural networks in electricity

provides  
accurate and efficient results,  
enabling advanced and sustainable  
energy planning [6]. The evaluation  
of ANN against the Multiple

forecasting becomes crucial for

Neural networks for demand forecasting in primary power distribution systems.  
This is crucial given the depletion of  
natural resources and the need to  
develop alternative energies. In  
forecasting the future distribution of  
electricity demand in Taiwan as a  
fundamental part of planning for the  
efficient use of electricity [9]. It is  
worth remembering that the accuracy  
of the electric charge is essential in  
meteorological conditions. It is  
proposed to use a single hidden-  
layer artificial neural network  
optimized with techniques such as  
Particle-swarm-optimization (PSO)  
and Genetic algorithm optimization  
In order to predict overall demand,  
computational intelligence models  
are evaluated and compared,

infrastructure [12]. Then electricity  
requires management, given the  
unpredictability of the electrical load,  
daily forecasting is crucial. RNA,  
especially the multilayer perception  
model, stands out as an effective tool  
for this purpose, outperforming  
traditional  
methods  
such  
as  
Autoregressive integrated moving  
average (ARIMA) and Multiple linear  
regression (MLR) in speed [13]. It is  
necessary to emphasize that electric  
power is essential, the importance of  
short-term load forecasting in power  
systems [8]. RNAs are presented as  
a tool for analyzing and predicting

load forecasting, divided into short,  
medium and long term, has  
experienced an increase in short-  
term forecasting due to the  
deregulation of the electricity sector.  
The application of methods, such as  
Finally, the power grid has evolved  
into a smart grid with technologies  
such as advanced metering and

improve in the short term.

It is crucial to put this network  
through a training procedure in order  
to get reliable predictions. Training is  
developed as an iterative learning  
process, where data instances,  
specific segments of inputs, are  
presented to the network along with  
their known correct outputs. Each  
instance is introduced individually,  
adjusting the weights associated with  
the input values at each layer  
accordingly [20]. This process is  
repeated several times with various  
batches of data until the weights are

predict the correct label (or  
probability) for any given input  
sample.

In order to assess the created

predicting demand patterns in  
electrical load profiles, an evaluation  
of its performance will be conducted  
using several error metrics. Figure 3  
shows the diagram model. The text  
addresses the lack of research on  
electrical load profiles on primary

of understanding and optimizing  
performance in this area. The  
application of deep learning models

develop more effective strategies for  
electrical management of the

Looking at Figure 7, it is clear that in  
the fourth model the neural network  
is overtrained, which causes several  
errors in its predictions. Due to this  
reason, this model is excluded from  
the analysis. It is essential to  
emphasize the importance of  
avoiding overfitting in the process of

can  
significantly compromise their ability

In conclusion, all models can be  
observed compared only with the  
training data. This is reflected in

After completing the training of the  
LSTM models, we proceed to make  
predictions for a period of 7 days and  
evaluate their agreement with the

Absolute Error (EAM) provides  
insight into the accuracy of the model  
without considering the direction of  
the error, while the Mean Squared  
Error (ECM) addresses this issue by  
squaring the error, thus avoiding  
biases in decision making.  
After compiling all the models, as  
shown in the previous section, it  
could be noted that the second and  
third models were the best fit to the  
time series of load profiles. For this  
reason, both models are directly  
compared with the test set to analyze  
their similarities. This process is  
depicted in Figure 9.

choice of the prediction model,  
evaluations are carried out using

The analysis of Table 2 reveals that,

crucial to keep in mind that negative  
and positive errors can influence the  
choice of model. Consequently, the  
ECM suggests that model #3 exhibits  
a lower value, indicating a more  
accurate fit. In addition, the R2 metric  
points out that both predictions are  
close to zero, indicating similar  
behavior between both models.

Although this project has not  
addressed the computational cost  
associated with LSTM network  
training and search in layer and  
neuron selection, it is important to  
note that high-performance servers  
are required to perform these tasks.  
By transforming and processing the  
time series database, the data  
needed to train deep learning  
models, such as neural networks,  
were obtained. This involved  
adjusting the data to an appropriate  
sampling frequency, scaling it  
between 0 and 1, and subsequently  
splitting it into training and test sets.  
In addition, various statistical  
methods, such as the Dickey- Fuller  
test and the first difference  
technique, were applied to evidence  
the stationarity of the time series.  
These results confirm the need for  
the model to be complex in order to  
forecast the data accurately. The  
choice of using recurrent neural  
networks to analyze electrical load  
profiles on primary feeders of a  
power distribution network appears  
to be the most effective option to  
achieve a predictive approach. This  
is due to the ability of these networks
