Abstract

The short-term electrical load forecasting plays a significant role in the management of power system supply for countries and regions. A new model which combines the fuzzy logic control with an improved back propagation algorithm (FLC-IBP) is proposed in this paper to improve the accuracy of the short-term load forecasting (STLF). Specifically, the composite-error-function-based method and the dynamic learning rate approach are designed to achieve a better predictable result, which mainly applies the improved back propagation algorithm (BP). Besides, the fuzzy logic control theory is used to build up a good optimization process. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the accuracy of load prediction.
