As technology advances, the demand for energy also increases. This work proposes a model for predicting energy consumption in smart homes, consisting of data preprocessing, performance evaluation, and application. Once the data is processed, it is fed into the prediction module, where various machine-learning algorithms are applied to forecast energy consumption. As smart home environments grow in complexity, selecting the most effective machine learning algorithm becomes increasingly crucial. The persistent challenge lies in manually discerning the best-performing algorithm, given their potential variance in efficacy across diverse use cases or datasets. In the dynamic landscape of energy conservation and costeffective power generation, precise forecasting of energy consumption is essential, playing a pivotal role in advancing energy sustainability and bolstering economic stability. This introduction explores the intricate terrain of predicting energy utilization within smart homes, a domain that has seen increased interest due to the integration of machine learning algorithms. The primary focus of this exploration is the rigorous evaluation of these algorithms, using key performance metrics such as mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), and R-squared.  \nThis is an open access article under the CC BY-SA license.  \nM.

INTRODUCTION  \nSmartgrids (SG) have emerged as a viable solution to meet the growing global energy demand. The term \"grid\" refers to the traditional electrical infrastructure comprising transmission lines, substations, and other elements that facilitate the delivery of energy from power plants to homes and businesses [1], [2] . What sets Smart Grids apart is their capability for two-way communication between utility providers and consumers, coupled with sensing capabilities along the grid lines. Key components of a smart grid include controls, computers, automation systems, and other advanced technologies working in tandem to address the rapid surge in energy requirements shown in Figure 1. The intelligence embedded in smart grids brings forth various benefits. Noteworthy advantages include more efficient energy transmission, enhanced security measures, and the ability to mitigate peak demand, consequently leading to a reduction in electricity rates. Smart grids are also recognized for their integration of renewable energy sources, aligning with the global push towards sustainable  \nand eco-friendly power generation. Overall, smart grids represent a significant advancement in the energy sector, ensuring a more responsive and adaptable infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of our energyintensive world [3]-[5] .
