Forecasting energy demand of residential buildings plays an important role in the operation of smart cities, as it forms the basis for decision-making in the planning and operation of urban energy systems. Deep learning algorithms are commonly used to reliably predict potential energy usage since they can overcome the issue of dependency on long-distance data in energy forecasting relative to the standard regression model. However, there are still two problems to be solved in terms of energy forecasting, the coding of categorical characteristics and adaptive extraction of the most relevant characteristics for use in making predictions. To solve the above problems, we proposed a sequential forecasting model for medium- and long-term energy demand forecasting, based on an embedding mechanism and a two-stage attention-based long-term memory neural network. Then an empirical study was conducted on three years of daily power consumption data from residential buildings in the Pudong district of Shanghai to verify the validity of the model. The forecasting results show that the model can effectively extract key features that are highly correlated with energy consumption dynamics by employing long-term dependencies in the time series data. Additionally, the hybrid model shows improved stability over other models in terms of long-term forecasting. This work also discusses future research opportunities and possibilities for deep learning applications in the energy sector.
