Short-term load forecasting system using data mining

In this paper, by means of data mining techniques, a platform of data warehouse is designed after preprocessing the huge amounts original data of power system, and a system for short term load forecasting (STLF) is developed, in which there is the synthetic technology of both fuzzy clustering and robust regression model in the platform. The useful data excavated from large amounts of data can offer the effective and accurate load forecasting information for reliable and economic operation of power systems. The validity of the designed system for STLF is shown by the simulation results of an actual power system in China.
