Data mining for energy systems: Review and prospect

An in-depth study on big data mining is urgently needed for the next-generation energy systems, which are characterized by a deep integration of cyber, physical, and social components. This paper presents an initial discussion on big data mining and its applications in intelligent energy systems. New progress in big data mining, such as deep learning, transfer learning, randomized learning, granular computing, and multisource data fusion, is introduced first. Some applications of data mining in energy systems, such as load forecasting and modeling, integrated power and transportation system, and electricity market forecasting and simulation, are discussed then. Moreover, some research problems in energy system data mining, such as cyber-physical-social system modeling and super-resolution perception for smart meter data, which require further attention in the future, are also discussed.
