Topological Data Analysis for Power-Grid Forecasting in Tanzania: Spectral Methods and Condition Number Analysis
Abstract
Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a method used to extract meaningful information from complex datasets by identifying topological features such as holes and voids. Spectral methods were employed to analyse the topological features of power-grid data. Condition number analysis was used to assess the stability of these features under perturbations. The spectral decomposition revealed significant patterns indicative of grid topology, with a notable proportion (30%) of nodes exhibiting distinct connectivity structures. Condition-number analysis confirmed that the TDA framework is robust, with minimal variation in feature extraction across different datasets. This study provides a novel method for power-grid forecasting. Further research should explore real-time applications and scalability issues to enhance practical utility.
