Description
Summary:This study compares and analyzes statistical, machine learning, and deep learning outlier-detection methods on real power-usage data from the metal, food, and chemical industries to propose the optimal model for improving energy-consumption efficiency. In the metal industry, a Z-Score-based statistical approach with threshold optimization was used; in the food industry, a hybrid model combining K-Means, Isolation Forest, and Autoencoder was designed; and in the chemical industry, the DBA K-Means algorithm (Dynamic Time Warping Barycenter Averaging) was employed. Experimental results show that the Isolation Forest–Autoencoder hybrid delivers the best overall performance, and that DBA K-Means excels at detecting seasonal outliers, demonstrating the efficacy of these algorithms for smart energy-management systems and carbon-neutral infrastructure
