Abstract

Regional power grid load has strong periodicity and randomness, and its load characteristics are affected by many factors. Traditional short-term power load-forecasting methods have certain limitations in accuracy and stability, especially when dealing with complex weather and voltage changes. To improve the prediction accuracy, this paper proposes a short-term power load-forecasting model of a regional power grid based on multi-source parameter coupling with a long short-term memory neural network (LSTM) and adopts an improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm to optimize the LSTM network. Firstly, load characteristics under different time dimensions were analyzed, combined with meteorological factors such as daily maximum temperature, minimum temperature, rainfall, air humidity, and historical load data, multi-source data were coupled, and date types were quantified by independent thermal coding technology to ensure a reasonable model input data set. Different from traditional methods, this paper introduces real-time coupling data of intensive sensing, which makes the model more sensitive to capture the subtle characteristics of load changes. In order to further optimize the performance of the LSTM model, the IPSO algorithm, and linear difference decreasing inertia weight are introduced to improve the global optimization ability and convergence speed of the PSO algorithm and reduce the risk of local optimal solutions. Finally, the accuracy of the model is verified by the measured data of dense sensing in a regional power grid in northern China. The calculation results show that the prediction model based on multi-source parameter coupling has higher accuracy and stability in short-term load forecasting. Compared with traditional forecasting methods, the mean relative error (MAPE), the root mean square error (RMSE), and the mean absolute error (MAE) are reduced by 1.8149%, 154.0884, and 130.6769, respectively. In the typical day prediction of different seasons, the model can keep the relative error of more than 90% sampling points below 2%. The average relative error is basically less than 1%. The model proposed in this paper shows higher accuracy and stronger practical application potential compared with traditional forecasting methods, especially in voltage monitoring and power grid dispatching.
