Abstract
Short-term load forecasting (STLF) plays a pivotal role in operational efficiency of power plants. Leveraging data from utility companies for STLF in a wholesale market presents challenges. Notably, data sharing reluctance from utility companies, driven by privacy considerations, limits the availability of valuable forecasting information. Concurrently, due to the growing reliance on information and communication technologies, data integrity attacks (DIAs) and communication noise are emerging as a significant concern, which is largely overlooked in existing research. We propose an innovative approach combining deep reinforcement learning (DRL) with federated learning (FL) to construct a robust STLF model that meets privacy constraints and operates efficiently. By employing FL, we facilitate collaboration between the power plant and multiple utility companies to generate a STLF model for the power plant, circumventing the need for direct access to raw data from utility companies, thereby preserving data privacy. To counteract model degradation induced by DIAs and noise in communication channels, we incorporate DRL into our methodology. Simulation outcomes affirm the efficacy of our proposed approach, demonstrating its capacity to deliver accurate and resilient STLF for power plants, even in the presence of DIAs and communication noise.

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 it
