Probabilistic forecasting of multiple plant day-ahead renewable power generation sequences with data privacy preserving by Hong Liu, Zijun Zhang

“…The cloud-hosted server first aggregates the knowledge from models of clients and next dispatches the aggregated model back to each client for facilitating each local feature extractor to identify domain-invariant features via interacting with a server-side discriminator. Therefore, only desensitized data, such as parameters of the models, are allowed to be transmitted among end users for preserving local data privacy of power plants. …”

Novel GSIP: GAN-based sperm-inspired pixel imputation for robust energy image reconstruction by Gamal M. Mahmoud, Wael Said, Magdy M. Fadel, Mostafa Elbaz

“…Our approach includes three essential modifications: (1) integration of an identity module within the GAN architecture to mitigate the vanishing gradient problem; (2) introduction of a metaheuristic algorithm based on sperm motility to select the top 10 pixels that most effectively contribute to the generation of the missing pixel; and (3) the implementation of an adaptive interval mechanism between the discriminator’s actual value and the weighted average of the selected pixels, enhancing the generator’s efficiency and ensuring the coherence of the imputed pixels with the surrounding image context. …”
