Internet of Energy: Ensemble Learning through Multilevel Stacking for Load Forecasting
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the Internet of Energy (IoE) ecosystem, an accurate electricity load forecasting is critically important to all the participants in the smart grids, such as manufacturers, utility companies, renewable energy generators, consumers and prosumers. It is a vital component for a stable and reliable operation of the electricity grid, effective demand side management, and the success of energy efficiency programs. We present a novel ensemble learning mechanism through multi-level stacking for the load forecasting. Our proposed architecture has four layers utilizing strong learners at each level (base and meta) with an input features set, at all the levels, that includes initial (original) variables/features from the dataset along with meta-features extracted during stacking. We use computational intelligence (CI) techniques such as Random Forest, Cubist, k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Support Vector Machine Regression (SVM-R), Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), and Principal Component Regression (PCR) to train participating prediction models at various levels of stacking. The results show significant improvement in performance with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) reduced by 36.81%, a 38.82% reduction in Mean Absolute Error(MAE), and R <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> increased from 0.787 to 0.923 when compared to single forecasting model.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
