Electric Vehicle Charging Demand Prediction using Multiresolution Sinusoidal Neural Network Optimized with Addax Optimization

Electric Vehicle (EV) charging demand prediction, while essential for optimizing charging infrastructure and energy management, faces challenges such as data inaccuracies and uncertainties in user behavior patterns. These issues define inaccurate demand forecasts which cause the wrong placement of charging stations and distribution of energy. Also, as the pattern of the EV charging is not static may change due to many factors such as climate, time of day, price preference among others, the prediction models may not handle the dynamism and hence lower the reliability of the forecast results. To overcome these drawbacks, this manuscript proposes an efficient approach for EV charging demand prediction. The data is gathered from a dataset on EV charging. The data is then sent to pre-processing. Using the Maximum Correntropy Quaternion Kalman Filter (MCQKF), the pre-processing section eliminates missing values and normalizes the input. To forecast EV charging demand, the Multiresolution Sinusoidal Neural Network (MSNN) receives the results of the pre-processing data. MSNN’s weight parameter is optimized using Addax Optimization (AO). The proposed MSNN-AO is utilized within the MATLAB platform. The proposed MSNN-AO technique is compared with the existing techniques such as Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (LSTMNN), Heterogeneous Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (HSTGNN) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), respectively. The MSNN-AO method achieves an accuracy of 97%, precision of 95%, and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 2.2%, demonstrating its superior performance in predicting EV charging demand. This highlights the proposed method’s effectiveness in minimizing prediction errors, reducing RMSE by 22.36%, and improving precision by 14.89% compared to existing methods. The MSNN-AO method’s higher accuracy and precision, coupled with its robust performance, make it a reliable and efficient solution for EV charging demand forecasting.
