Realizing the Improvement of the Reliability and Efficiency of Intelligent Electricity Inspection: IAOA-BP Algorithm for Anomaly Detection

Abstract

Anomaly detection can improve the service level of the grid, effectively save human resources and reduce the operating cost of a power company. In this study, an improved arithmetic optimization-backpropagation (IAOA-BP) neural algorithm for an anomaly detection model was proposed for electricity inspection. The dynamic boundary strategy of the cosine control factor and the differential evolution operator are introduced into the arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) to obtain the improved arithmetic optimization algorithm (IAOA). The algorithm performance test proves that the IAOA has better solving ability and stability compared with the AOA, WOA, SCA, SOA and SSA. The IAOA was subsequently used to obtain the optimal weights and thresholds for BP. In the experimental phase, the proposed model is validated with electricity data provided by a power company. The results reveal that the overall determination accuracy using the IAOA-BP algorithm remains above 96%, and compared with other algorithms, the IAOA-BP has a higher accuracy and can meet the requirements grid supervision. The power load data anomaly detection model proposed in this study has some implications that might suggest how power companies can promote grid business model transformation, improve economic efficiency, enhance management and improve service quality.
