Federated Learning with Mixed Encryption for Distributed Energy Resources: Forecasting Electricity Charging Demand at Multiple Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations

Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Sharing information or data between actors is crucial for forecasting distributed energy resources. However, collaboration involving the exchange of confidential data requires privacy-preserving models. Current models rely solely on fully encrypted frameworks, neglecting publicly available data or enforcing encryption on both private and public data. Furthermore, it is unknown whether a combination of public and private data types is beneficial to federated learning on spatiotemporal energy applications, in particular forecasting. In this work, we introduce a mixed encryption setting incorporating public data (e.g. weather, calendar) and private data relative to energy measurements. In this case study of day-ahead electric consumption of neighboring Electric Vehicle charging stations, we show that combining data increases the accuracy by up to 6% in RMSE and that mixed encryption reduces the computation time by up to 2 times compared to full encryption.
