Having access to a reliable and accurate prediction of the short-term power demand is a fundamental step for the widespread adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs), as their charges may have a significant impact on the power system balancing. In this direction, we propose a short-term load demand predictor, based on distributed Long Short-Term Memory Networks, that employs consensus and fully-decentralized Federated Learning (FL) algorithms to seek cooperation among multiple points of charge without the requirement of sharing any user-related data.
