Abstract
In electric industry, electricity loads forecasting has become more and more important, because demand quantity is a major determinant in electricity supply strategy. Furthermore, accurate regional loads forecasting is one of principal factors for electric industry to improve the management performance. Recently, time series analysis and statistical methods have been developed for electricity loads forecasting. However, there are two drawbacks in the past forecasting models: (1) conventional statistical methods, such as regression models are unable to deal with the nonlinear relationships well, because of electricity loads are known to be nonlinear; and (2) the rules generated from conventional statistical methods (i.e., ARIMA), and artificial intelligence technologies (i.e., support vector machines (SVM) and artificial neural networks (ANN)) are not easily comprehensive for policy-maker. Based on these reasons above, this paper proposes a new model, which incorporates one step-ahead concept into adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to build a fusion ANFIS model and enhances forecasting for electricity loads by adaptive forecasting equation. The fuzzy if-then rules produced from fusion ANFIS model, which can be understood for human recognition, and the adaptive network in fusion ANFIS model can deal with the nonlinear relationships. This study optimizes the proposed model by adaptive network and adaptive forecasting equation to improve electricity loads forecasting accuracy. To evaluate forecasting performances, six different models are used as comparison models. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model is superior to the listing models in terms of mean absolute percentage errors (MAPE).
