Abstract

Load forecasting is to use historical load information to estimate the load demand for a period of time in the future. At present, mode decomposition algorithm is often used in the field to improve the forecasting accuracy. However, mode decomposition will cause the accumulation of errors, in order to solve this problem, this paper analyzes the relationship between the original load and the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), and constructs an ultra-short-term load forecasting algorithm based on Variational Mode decomposition (VMD) and TGCN-GRU (Temporal Graph Convolution-Gated Recurrent Unit). Firstly, the model uses VMD to decompose the original load into multiple relatively stable IMFs. Then it inputs the original load, external factors that affect the load, and all IMFs into TGCN, and uses TGCN to extract the spatial relationships of each graph node and the timing characteristics of each graph node itself. Finally, these spatiotemporal features are input into the GRU unit for prediction. The model not only rationally combines all IMFs into a whole and to solve the problem of error accumulation, but also fully analyzes the interrelationship among the IMFs, the original load and the external factors affecting the load. We conducted comparison experiments using real load data and other load forecasting models, and the experiment results indicate, that the overall accuracy of this model is superior to the model compared.
