Forecasting energy demand in quicklime manufacturing: a data-driven approach

This study presents a deep learning-based framework for forecasting energy demand in a quicklime production company, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and enable data-driven decision-making for industrial scalability. Using one year of real electricity consumption data, the methodology integr...
