Estimating Smart Grid Stability with Hybrid RNN plus LSTM Deep Learning Approach

Smart grids are faced with a range of challenges, such as the development of communication infrastructure, cybersecurity threats, data privacy, and the protection of user information, due to their complex structure. Another key challenge faced by smart grids is the stability issues arising from variable energy sources and consumption patterns. In these complex grid systems where energy demand and supply need to be balanced instantly, stability predictions play a significant role in foreseeing potential disruptions and optimizing energy flow. Therefore, within the scope of this study, a hybrid structure utilizing Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks is employed for stability classification to predict grid stability. This hybrid model combines the ability of RNN to recognize relationships between consecutive data points with LSTM's capability to preserve long-term dependencies. The results obtained indicate that the model exhibited stable performance with accuracy rates of 98.06% and 98.02% at 50 and 100 epochs, respectively. The findings of this study contribute valuable insights to research on the management and stability of smart grids, enabling energy systems to be operated more reliably and efficiently.
