A Combined Middle-Long Load Forecasting Model Base on Differential Evolution Method

Middle-long load forecasting is an important issue for power system’s plan, investment and operation. In this paper, differential evolution algorithm is used to determine the weights of the Combined load forecasting models, which is combined with several single middle-long forecasting models. The experiment results point out that the proposed model’s performance is better than any single forecasting model. It also shows that differential evolution algorithm can choose the weights of combined forecasting model effectually.
