Estimation of electrical power consumption in subway station design by intelligent approach

► We estimate the power consumption of subway stations by multilayer perceptron. ► Data collected from Observatory and 19 subway stations are used for model training. ► Number of hidden neurons of the model is investigated by sensitivity test. ► Correlation coefficient is used to describe the prediction performance. ► The coefficient of correlation, with 95% confidence level, can reach 0.96 or higher.
