Cloud Computing (CC) is a promising technology due to its pervasive features, such as online storage, high scalability, and seamless accessibility, in that it plays an important role in reduction of the capital cost and workforce, which attracts organizations to conduct their businesses and financial activities over the cloud. Even though CC is a g...

The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) originating from China, has spread rapidly among people living in other countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by the end of January, more than 104 million people have been affected by COVID-19, including more than 2 million deaths. The number of COVID-19 test kits available in hospitals i...

Sentiment analysis is one of the most prominent sub-areas of research in Natural Language Processing (NLP), where it is important to consider implicit or explicit emotions conveyed by review material. Researchers also recognized that the generic feelings derived from the textual material are insufficient, so the sentiment analysis aspect based was...

Cloud computing is rapidly taking over the information technology industry because it makes computing a lot easier without worries of buying the physical hardware needed for computations, rather, these services are hosted by companies with provide the cloud services. These companies contain a lot of computers and servers whose main source of power...

Electrical load forecasting provides knowledge about future consumption and generation of electricity. There is a high level of fluctuation behavior between energy generation and consumption. Sometimes, the energy demand of the consumer becomes higher than the energy already generated, and vice versa. Electricity load forecasting provides a monitor...

Besides the non-technical losses of power companies, theft of electricity is the most serious and dangerous one. The fraudulent power consumption degrades the quality of supply and increases the energy generation that impacts the whole grid system, which causes legitimate the users to pay a huge amount of electricity bills. Through data analysis me...

Forecasting the electricity load provides its future trends, consumption patterns and its usage. There is no proper strategy to monitor the energy consumption and generation; and high variation among them. Many strategies are used to overcome this problem. The correct selection of parameter values of a classifier is still an issue. Therefore, an op...

In the last few years, carbon emissions and energy demand have increased dramatically around the globe due to a surge in population and energy-consuming devices. The integration of renewable energy resources (RERs) in a power supply system provides an efficient solution in terms of low energy cost with lower carbon emissions. However, renewable sou...

The present strategies for the prediction of price and load may be difficult to deal with huge amount of load and price data. To resolve the problem, three modules are incorporated within the model. Firstly, the fusion of Decision Tree (DT) and Random Forest (RF) are used for feature selection and to remove the redundancy among feature. Secondly, R...

One of the key issues in the Smart Grid (SG) is accurate electric load forecasting. Energy generation and consumption have highly varying. Accurate forecasting of electric load can decrease the fluctuating behavior between energy generation and consumption. By knowing the upcoming electricity load consumption, we can control the extra energy genera...
