Abstract
Analyzing user behavior characteristics in a complex power grid environment is essential for user behavior planning and resource coordination optimization. Traditional user behavior analysis methods based on model-driven and causal analysis have the disadvantages of strong subjectivity and physical models that are difficult to deal with the randomness and uncertainty of user behavior in complex grid environments. In this paper, we use unsupervised learning methods to analyze user behavior in complex power grid environments, and propose user behavior analysis methods based on stacked autoencoder and clustering. We first reduce the complexity of user behavior data by proposing adaptive feature selection algorithm of user behavior based on stacked autoencoder and unsupervised learning (AFS-SAEUL). Finally, we build a user behavior analysis model based on adaptive feature selection and improved clustering (UBA-AFSIC). The model improved the performance of unsupervised classification of user behavior by fusing the adaptive generation strategy of the initial cluster centers. The simulation experiment results on two real electricity datasets and one public electric vehicle charging dataset show that compared with the existing feature selection algorithm and clustering algorithm, the algorithms proposed in this paper have higher feature selection rate and better clustering performance.
