Automated Feature Engineering, AutoML, and Decision-Focused Learning for Improved Energy Consumption Forecasting
The rising cost and demand for energy, together with environmental sustainability goals, create major challenges for energy management. Energy Consumption Forecasting (ECF) supports planning by predicting future consumption, but Machine Learning (ML) models for ECF often depend on expert-driven Feature Engineering (FE). This thesis addresses that dependence through three contributions. First, it establishes and evaluates a comprehensive FE pipeline for ECF and investigates domain-specific features. Second, it introduces AutoEnergy, a domain-tailored automated FE algorithm that generates interpretable features from timestamps and lagged consumption and integrates with AutoML for end-to-end...
