The paper proposes a Generative Adversarial Network-based Synthetic Residential Load Pattern (RLP-GAN) generation model.
RLP-GAN leverages an over-complete autoencoder to capture dependencies within complex and diverse load patterns.
A model weight selection method is incorporated to address the mode collapse problem and generate load patterns with high diversity.
The results demonstrate that RLP-GAN outperforms state-of-the-art models in capturing temporal dependencies and generating load patterns with higher similarity to real data.
