About This Architecture
Hybrid CNN-LSTM-GRU architecture for energy forecasting ingests 100,000+ appliance usage and environmental records through a multi-layer feature engineering pipeline. Data flows from raw input through temporal feature extraction, time-lagged variables, categorical encoding, and normalization before entering the hybrid neural network combining 1D-CNN for local pattern detection, LSTM for long-term dependencies, and GRU for sequential modeling. This ensemble approach delivers superior accuracy for demand-side management and smart grid integration compared to single-model baselines. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to adapt layer configurations, add AWS SageMaker or EC2 compute nodes, or integrate with your energy data pipeline. The three-component neural architecture balances computational efficiency with predictive power for real-time grid optimization.
