Coordinated short-term load forecasting based on similarity degree and ANN

To make full consideration on the influences of factors other than the load itself on the short-term load,a coordinated short-term load forecasting model based on similarity degree and ANN was proposed.The load curve similarity was calculated to sort the history data at first,and the nearest history data were chosen for forecasting.In addition,the Artificial Neutral Network(ANN) model was used to correct the errors.Example case showed that the model was more precise than the BP-ANN model.
