Impact of Normalization Techniques on Synthetic Load Profile Generation Using Deep Generative Models by Luis H. T. Bandoria, Walquiria N. Silva, Madson C. De Almeida

“…Using datasets from a university smart grid and industrial consumers in Germany, this work systematically evaluates five normalizations techniques-Min-Max, Standard, Robust, Max-Abs, and Quantile—on four representative DGMs: Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP), variational autoencoder (VAE), nonlinear independent component estimation (NICE), and denoising diffusion implicit models (DDIM). Additionally, this study introduces DDIM for synthetic load profile generation, providing a deterministic and faster sampling approach compared to traditional probabilistic denoising models. …”
