Abstract

Daily load forecasting is the basis of the economic and safe operation of a power grid. Accurate prediction results can improve the matching of microgrid energy storage capacity allocation. With the popularization of smart meters, the interaction between residential electricity demand and sources and networks is increasing, and massive data are generated at the same time. Previous forecasting methods suffer from poor targeting and high noise. They cannot make full use of the important information of the load data. This paper proposes a new framework for daily load forecasting of group residents. Firstly, we use the singular value decomposition to address the problem of high dimensions of residential electricity data. Meanwhile, we apply a K-Shape-based group residential load clustering method to obtain the typical residential load data. Secondly, we introduce an empirical mode decomposition method to address the problem of high noise of residential load data. Finally, we propose a Bi-LSTM-Attention model for residential daily load forecasting. This method can make full use of the contextual information and the important information of the daily load of group residents. The experiments conducted on a real data set of a power grid show that our method achieves excellent improvements on five prediction error indicators, such as MAPE, which are significantly smaller than the compared baseline methods.
