Multi-source electricity information fusion methods: A survey

Abstract

With the vigorous development of the global economy, the demand for electricity quality from all walks of life is also increasing, so it is essential to ensure the electric power grid’s safe, stable, and efficient operation. Multi-source electric power information fusion, as the core technology of electric power grid data processing, has become the foundation to promote the intelligent and automatic development of the electric power grid. This paper presents the first work on the survey of the methods of electricity information fusion. It first gives an overview of the process of electricity information fusion and shows the types of electricity data. Then, we provide different classifications of existing methods in view of communication annotation and electric power data, and conduct a thorough comparison and analysis of them. Moreover, we introduce the relevant data sets and evaluation criteria of electric power information and summarize the corresponding evaluation scenarios. Finally, we conclude the maturity of existing works and provide an outlook on future multi-source electric power information fusion methods.
