Development of Electric Load Forecasting System Using Neural Network

신경회로망을 이용한 단기전력부하 예측용 시스템 개발

This paper proposes the methods of short-term load forecasting using Kohonen neural networks and back-propagation neural networks. Historical load data is divided into 5 patterns for the each seasonal data using Kohonen neural networks and using these results, load forecasting neural network is used for next day hourly load forecasting. Normal days and holidays are forecasted. For load forecasting in summer, max-, and min-temperature data are included in neural networks for a better forecasting accuracy. To show the possibility of the proposed method, it was tested with hourly load data of Korea Electric Power Corporation. (1993-1997)
