Incorporation of physical laws governing energy systems can improve performance and physical consistency, but the model often struggles with the calculation of loss and ignores dynamic interplays between sub-systems, which can result in oversimplification and a lack of practical applicability. Therefore, this study investigated a theoretical framework for developing a law of conservation-guided neural network aimed at enhancing energy efficiency prediction in industrial systems. The framework integrates physical principles directly into floating nodes constructed using a long short-term memory architecture to help the model formulate the relationship between process variables, while gradient aggregation increases liquidity and interpretability. Through evaluation of two large-scale case studies—vinyl chloride monomer and detergent powder production—the proposed model produced substantial improvements in prediction accuracy and model reliability, with a test prediction improvement of 12.2 % and 5.87 % over published methods. Compared to network architecture modification approaches, the proposed model provided higher reliability and reproducibility in energy efficiency predictions.

By adjusting the weight coefficient matrix of the control authority, CA50 and IMEP are effectively tracked within the constraints of maximum pressure rise rate. The control error for CA50 remains within ±2.7 %, while that for IMEP is confined to ±1 %.

The predictive performance of this model on grid topologies that were part of the training data is substantially better than the direct current (DC) approximation. Although direct application of the pre-trained model to topologies that are not part of the grid is not particularly satisfactory, fine-tuning with small amounts of data from a specific topology of interest significantly improves predictive performance.

To realize such a task, an advanced domain-invariant feature learning embedded federated learning (DIFL) framework is proposed to coordinate the development of a system of deep network-based models serving as multiple clients and one server. In DIFL, each client, which serves each local renewable power plant, maps its raw data input into latent features via a local feature extractor and generates power output sequence probabilistic forecasts via a locally hosted forecasting model. The cloud-hosted server first aggregates the knowledge from models of clients and next dispatches the aggregated model back to each client for facilitating each local feature extractor to identify domain-invariant features via interacting with a server-side discriminator. Therefore, only desensitized data, such as parameters of the models, are allowed to be transmitted among end users for preserving local data privacy of power plants. To verify the advantages of the DIFL, a preliminary exploration of its theoretical property is first conducted. Next, computational studies are performed to benchmark the DIFL against famous baselines based on datasets collected from commercial renewable power plants.
