Abstract
With the consumption of new energy and the variability of user activity, accurate and fast demand forecasting plays a crucial role in modern power markets. This paper considers the correlation between temperature, wind speed, and real-time electricity demand and proposes a novel method for forecasting short-term demand in the power market. Kernel Support Vector Machine is first used to classify real-time demand in combination with temperature and wind speed, and then the temporal convolutional network (TCN) is used to extract the temporal relationships and implied information of day-ahead demand. Finally, the Gradient Boosting Regression Tree is used to forecast daily and weekly real-time demand based on electrical, meteorological, and data characteristics. The validity of the method was verified using a dataset from the ISO-NE (New England Electricity Market). Comparative experiments with existing methods showed that the method could provide more accurate demand forecasting results.
