Scenario generation is a fundamental and crucial tool for decision-making in power systems with high-penetration renewables. Based on big historical data, a novel federated deep generative learning framework, called Fed-LSGAN, is proposed by integrating federated learning and least square generative adversarial networks (LSGANs) for renewable scenario generation. Specifically, federated learning learns a shared global model in a central server from renewable sites at network edges, which enables the Fed-LSGAN to generate scenarios in a privacy-preserving manner without sacrificing the generation quality by transferring model parameters, rather than all data. Meanwhile, the LSGANs-based deep generative model generates scenarios that conform to the distribution of historical data through fully capturing the spatial-temporal characteristics of renewable powers, which leverages the least squares loss function to improve the training stability and generation quality. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposal manages to generate high-quality renewable scenarios and outperforms the state-of-the-art centralized methods. Besides, an experiment with different federated learning settings is designed and conducted to verify the robustness of our method.

Machine learning (ML) based smart meter data analytics is very promising for energy management and demand-response applications in the advanced metering infrastructure(AMI). A key challenge in developing distributed ML applications for AMI is to pres erve user privacy while allowing active end-users participation. This paper addresses this challenge and proposes a privacy-preserving federated learning framework for ML applications in the AMI. We consider each smart meter as a federated edge device hosting an ML application that exchanges information with a central aggregator or a data concentrator, periodically. Instead of transferring the raw data sensed by the smart meters, the ML model weights are transferred to the aggregator to preserve privacy. The aggregator processes these parameters to devise a robust ML model that can be substituted at each edge device. We also discuss strategies to enhance privacy and improve communication efficiency while sharing the ML model parameters, suited for relatively slow network connections in the AMI. We demonstrate the proposed framework on a use case federated ML (FML) application that improves short-term load forecasting (STLF). We use a long short-term memory(LSTM) recurrent neural network (RNN) model for STLF. In our architecture, we assume that there is an aggregator connected to a group of smart meters. The aggregator uses the learned model gradients received from the federated smart meters to generate an aggregate, robust RNN model which improves the forecasting accuracy for individual and aggregated STLF. Our results indicate that with FML, forecasting accuracy is increased while preserving the data privacy of the end-users.
In this paper, we focus on facilitating differentially private quantized communication between the clients and server in federated learning (FL). Towards this end, we propose to have the clients send a textit{private quantized} version of only the te xtit{unit vector} along the change in their local parameters to the server, textit{completely throwing away the magnitude information}. We call this algorithm texttt{DP-NormFedAvg} and show that it has the same order-wise convergence rate as texttt{FedAvg} on smooth quasar-convex functions (an important class of non-convex functions for modeling optimization of deep neural networks), thereby establishing that discarding the magnitude information is not detrimental from an optimization point of view. We also introduce QTDL, a new differentially private quantization mechanism for unit-norm vectors, which we use in texttt{DP-NormFedAvg}. QTDL employs textit{discrete} noise having a Laplacian-like distribution on a textit{finite support} to provide privacy. We show that under a growth-condition assumption on the per-sample client losses, the extra per-coordinate communication cost in each round incurred due to privacy by our method is $mathcal{O}(1)$ with respect to the model dimension, which is an improvement over prior work. Finally, we show the efficacy of our proposed method with experiments on fully-connected neural networks trained on CIFAR-10 and Fashion-MNIST.
Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM), which usually utilizes machine learning methods and is effective in disaggregating smart meter readings from the household-level into appliance-level consumptions, can help to analyze electricity consumption beha viours of users and enable practical smart energy and smart grid applications. However, smart meters are privately owned and distributed, which make real-world applications of NILM challenging. To this end, this paper develops a distributed and privacy-preserving federated deep learning framework for NILM (FederatedNILM), which combines federated learning with a state-of-the-art deep learning architecture to conduct NILM for the classification of typical states of household appliances. Through extensive comparative experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed FederatedNILM framework is demonstrated.
Federated learning is the distributed machine learning framework that enables collaborative training across multiple parties while ensuring data privacy. Practical adaptation of XGBoost, the state-of-the-art tree boosting framework, to federated lear ning remains limited due to high cost incurred by conventional privacy-preserving methods. To address the problem, we propose two variants of federated XGBoost with privacy guarantee: FedXGBoost-SMM and FedXGBoost-LDP. Our first protocol FedXGBoost-SMM deploys enhanced secure matrix multiplication method to preserve privacy with lossless accuracy and lower overhead than encryption-based techniques. Developed independently, the second protocol FedXGBoost-LDP is heuristically designed with noise perturbation for local differential privacy, and empirically evaluated on real-world and synthetic datasets.

Federated learning (FL) is an emerging paradigm for machine learning, in which data owners can collaboratively train a model by sharing gradients instead of their raw data. Two fundamental research problems in FL are incentive mechanism and privacy p rotection. The former focuses on how to incentivize data owners to participate in FL. The latter studies how to protect data owners privacy while maintaining high utility of trained models. However, incentive mechanism and privacy protection in FL have been studied separately and no work solves both problems at the same time. In this work, we address the two problems simultaneously by an FL-Market that incentivizes data owners participation by providing appropriate payments and privacy protection. FL-Market enables data owners to obtain compensation according to their privacy loss quantified by local differential privacy (LDP). Our insight is that, by meeting data owners personalized privacy preferences and providing appropriate payments, we can (1) incentivize privacy risk-tolerant data owners to set larger privacy parameters (i.e., gradients with less noise) and (2) provide preferred privacy protection for privacy risk-averse data owners. To achieve this, we design a personalized LDP-based FL framework with a deep learning-empowered auction mechanism for incentivizing trading gradients with less noise and optimal aggregation mechanisms for model updates. Our experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework and mechanisms.
