Zusammenfassung: | Accurate and efficient short-term power load forecasting is crucial for ensuring the stable operation of power systems and rational planning of electricity resources. However, power load data are often characterized by nonlinearity and instability due to external factors such as meteorological conditions and day types, making accurate load forecasting challenging. While some hybrid models can effectively capture the spatiotemporal features of power load data, they often overlook the multi-periodicity of load data, leading to suboptimal feature extraction and efficiency. In this paper, a novel hybrid framework for short-term load forecasting based on TimesNet and temporal convolutional network (TCN) is proposed. Firstly, the original load data are preprocessed to reconstruct a feature matrix. Secondly, the TimesNet transforms the one-dimensional time series into a set of two-dimensional tensors based on multiple periods, capturing dependencies within different time scales and the relationships between different time scales in power load data. Then, the temporal convolutional network is employed to further extract the temporal features and long-term dependencies of the load data, enabling a more global pattern to be obtained for temporal information. Finally, the results of load forecasting can be achieved from the fully connected layer based on the extracted features. To verify the effectiveness and generalization of the proposed model, experiments have been conducted based on the ISO-NE and Southern China datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed model greatly outperforms the long short-term memory (LSTM), TCN, TimesNet, TCN-LSTM, and TimesNet-LSTM models. The proposed model reduces the mean absolute percentage error by 20% to 43% for the ISO-NE dataset and by 10% to 31% for the Southern China dataset, respectively. |
