Microbial corrosion is considered the main reason for multi-billion dollar sewer asset degradation. Sewer pipe surface temperature is a vital parameter for predicting the micro-biologically induced concrete corrosion. Due to this important measure, a surface temperature sensor suite was recently developed and tested in an aggressive sewer environment. The sensors can fail and they may also put offline during the period of scheduled maintenance. In such situations, time series forecasting of sensor data can be an alternative measure for the operators managing the sewer network. In this regard, this paper focuses on the short-term forecasting of sensor measurements. The evaluation was carried out by forecasting the sensor measurements for different time periods and evaluated with different forecasting models. The ETS model leads to high short-term forecasting accuracy and the ARIMA model leads to high long-term forecasting accuracy. The models were evaluated on real data captured in a Sydney sewer

Banking time series forecasting gains a main rule in finance and economics which has encouraged the researchers to introduce a fit models in forecasting accuracy. In this paper, the researchers present the advantages of the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model forecasting accuracy. Banking data from Amman stock market (ASE) in Jordan was selected as a tool to show the ability of ARIMA in forecasting banking data. Therefore, Daily data from 1993 until 2017 is used for this study. As a result this article shows that the ARIMA model has significant results for short-term prediction. Therefore, these results will be helpful for the investments.

Abstract. Ramp events are large rapid variations within wind power time series. Ramp forecasting can benefit from specific strategies so as to particularly take into account these shifts in the wind power output dynamic. In the short-term context (characterized by prediction horizons from minutes to a few days), a Regime-Switching (RS) model based on Artificial Neural Nets (ANN) is proposed. The objective is to identify three regimes in the wind power time series: Ramp-up, Ramp-down and No-ramp regime. An on-line regime assessment methodology is also proposed, based on a local gradient criterion. The RS-ANN model is compared to a single-ANN model (without regime discrimination), concluding that the regime-switching strategy leads to significant improvements for one-hour ahead forecasts, mainly due to the improvements obtained during ramp-up events. Including other explanatory variables (NWP outputs, local measurements) during the regime assessment could eventually improve forecasts for further horizons.

The databases of Iran’s electricity market have been storing large sizes of data. Retail buyers and retailers will operate in Iran’s electricity market in the foreseeable future when smart grids are implemented thoroughly across Iran. As a result, there will be very much larger data of the electricity market in the future than ever before. If certain methods are devised to perform quick search in such large sizes of stored data, it will be possible to improve the forecasting accuracy of important variables in Iran’s electricity market. In this paper, available methods were employed to develop a new technique of Wavelet-Neural Networks-Particle Swarm Optimization-Simulation-Optimization (WT-NNPSO-SO) with the purpose of searching in Big Data stored in the electricity market and improving the accuracy of short-term forecasting of electricity supply and demand. The electricity market data exploration approach was based on the simulation-optimization algorithms. It was combined with the Wavelet-Neural Networks-Particle Swarm Optimization (Wavelet-NNPSO) method to improve the forecasting accuracy with the assumption Length of Training Data (LOTD) increased. In comparison with previous techniques, the runtime of the proposed technique was improved in larger sizes of data due to the use of metaheuristic algorithms. The findings were dealt with in the Results section.
