Recently, 4th industrial revolution technologies such as IoT, artificial intelligence, and big data have been widely used in smart farm environments to efficiently use energy and control smart farms\u2019 conditions. In particular, machine learning technologies with big data analysis are actively used as one of the most potent prediction methods supporting energy use in the smart farm. Purpose: This study proposes a machine learning-based prediction model for peak energy use by analyzing energy-related data collected from various environmental and growth devices in a smart paprika farm of the Jeonnam Agricultural Research and Extension Service in South Korea between 2019 and 2021. Scientific method: To find out the most optimized prediction model, comparative evaluation tests are performed using representative ML algorithms such as artificial neural network, support vector regression, random forest, K-nearest neighbors, extreme gradient boosting and gradient boosting machine, and time series algorithm ARIMA with binary classification for a different number of input features. Validate: This article can provide an effective and viable way for smart farm managers or greenhouse farmers who can better manage the problem of agricultural energy economically and environmentally. Therefore, we hope that the recommended ML method will help improve the smart farm\u2019s energy use or their energy policies in various fields related to agricultural energy. Conclusion: The seven performance metrics including R-squared, root mean squared error, and mean absolute error, are associated with these two algorithms. It is concluded that the RF-based model is more successful than in the pre-others diction accuracy of 92%. Therefore, the proposed model may be contributed to the development of various applications for environment energy usage in a smart farm, such as a notification service for energy usage peak time or an energy usage control for each device.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/electronics11020218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,11]],"date-time":"2022-01-11T14:05:07Z","timestamp":1641909907000},"page":"218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["RETRACTED: A Machine Learning Based Model for Energy Usage Peak Prediction in Smart Farms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8977-8411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"SaravanaKumar","family":"Venkatesan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Communications Engineering, Sunchon National University, Jeollanam-do, Suncheon-si 57922, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jonghyun","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Communications Engineering, Sunchon National University, Jeollanam-do, Suncheon-si 57922, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hoon","family":"Ko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Computer and Information Communication (RICIC), Chungbuk National University, Chungdae-ro 1, Seowon-gu, Cheongju 28644, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongyun","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Communications Engineering, Sunchon National University, Jeollanam-do, Suncheon-si 57922, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Escamilla-Garc\u00eda, A., Soto-Zaraz\u00faa, G.M., Toledano-Ayala, M., Rivas-Araiza, E., and Gast\u00e9lum-Barrios, A.
