ABSTRACT

Aiming at the problems of high cost and low efficiency in power theft detection, this paper proposes a new type of DenseNet-RF model to detect power users theft. The DenseNet and Random Forest (RF) algorithms are fused, where DenseNet is used to automatically extract customer power usage characteristics, and RF is used to classify customer power abnormalities. By introducing the SMOTE algorithm, the imbalance problem of customer power consumption data was solved, the hyperparameters inside DenseNet were adjusted and the network model was pruned to obtain a better preprocessing model. When training the random forest classifier, call the preprocessing model and optimize the classifier parameters through grid search, and then obtain the final fusion algorithm model. The experimental results show that the DenseNet-RF fusion model effectively improves the accuracy of classification. Compared with the ensemble learning algorithm in single machine learning, traditional convolutional neural network, DenseNet, and algorithms of existing research results, the algorithm adopted by this model has better classification accuracy and stability, and the model has good generalization. ability.
