Aiming to the disadvantages of short-term load forecasting with empirical mode decomposition (EMD) such as mode mixing and many high-frequency random components, a new short-term load forecasting model based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and sub-section particle swarm optimization (SS-PSO) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the load sequence is decomposed into a limited number of intrinsic mode function (IMF) components and one remainder by EEMD, which can avoid the mode mixing problem of traditional EMD. Then, through calculating and observing the spectrum of decomposed series, some low-frequency IMFs are extracted and reconstructed. Other IMFs can be forecasted with appropriate forecasting models. Since IMF1 is main random component of the load sequence, the linear combination model is adopted to forecast IMF1. Because the weights of the linear combination model are very important to obtain high forecasting accuracy, SS-PSO is proposed and used to optimize the linear combination weights. In addition, the factors such as temperature and weekday are taken into consideration for short-term load forecasting. Simulation results show that accuracy of the load forecasting model proposed in the paper is higher than that of BP neural network, RBF neural network, support vector machine, EMD and their combinations.

This paper aims to develop a load forecasting method for short-term load forecasting based on multiwavelet transform and multiple neural networks. Firstly, a variable weight combination load forecasting model for power load is proposed and discussed. Secondly, the training data are extracted from power load data through multiwavelet transform. Lastly, the obtained data are trained through a variable weight combination model. BP network, RBF network and wavelet neural network are adopted as the training network, and the trained data from three neural networks are input to a three-layer feedforward neural network for the load forecasting. Simulation results show that accuracy of the combination load forecasting model proposed in the paper is higher than any one single network model and the combination forecast model of three neural networks without preprocessing method of multiwavelet transform.
