1 Shor-Term Load Forecasng usng PSO Based Local Lnear Wavele Neural Newor Prasana Kumar Pany DRIEMS, Cuac, Orssa, Inda E-mal : Prasanpany@gmal.com Absrac - Shor-erm forecasng (STLF plays an mporan role n he operaonal plannng secury funcons of an energy managemen sysem. The shor erm forecasng s amed a predcng elecrc s for a perod of mnues, hours, days or wee for he purpose of provdng fundamenal profles o he sysem. The wor presened n hs paper maes use of PSO based local lnear wavele neural newors (LLWNN o fnd he elecrc for a gven perod, wh a ceran confdence level. The resuls of he new mehod show sgnfcan mprovemen n he forecasng process. Keywords - Elecrc, forecas, wavele neural newor (WNN, local lnear wavele neural newor (LLWNN, Parcle Swarm Opmzaon,arfcal neural newor (ANN, arfcal nellgence,,weely mean absolue percenage error (WMAPE. I. INTRODUCTION Elecrc forecasng s used by power companes o ancpae he amoun of power needed o supply he demand. In he las few years, varous echnques for he STLF have been proposed and appled o power sysems. Convenonal mehods based on me seres analyss explo he nheren relaonshp beween he presen hour, weaher varables and he pas hour. Auo regressve (AR and movng average (MA and mxed Auo regressve movng average(arma models[] are promnen n he me seres approach. The man dsadvanage s ha hese models requre complex modelng echnques and heavy compuaonal effor o produce reasonably accurae resuls []. Bascally, mos of sascal mehods are based on lnear analyss. Snce he elecrc s non lnear funcon of s npu feaures, he behavor of elecrc sgnal can no be compleely capured by he sascal mehods. So sascal mehods are no adapve o rapd varaons. Anoher dffculy les n esmang and adjusng he model parameers, whch are esmaed from hsorcal daa ha may no reveal shor erm paern change[3]. The emergence of arfcal nellgence (AI echnques has led o her applcaon n STLF as exper sysem ype models. These mehods are dscree and logcal n naure. By smply learnng he hsorcal samples, hese mehods can map he npu-oupu relaons and hen can be used for he predcon. Among he AI echnques avalable, dfferen models of NNs due o flexbly n daa modelng have receved grea deal of aenon by he researchers n he area of STLF. Many ype of NN models whch are characerzed by her opology and learnng rules have been successfully for STLF problems [4,5,6,7,8,9,,,,3,4]. A comprehensve revew of he leraure on he applcaon of NNs o he forecasng can be found n [9]. Anoher useful echnque for STLF, proposed n he recen years s wavele based NN mehod. In hs mehod wavele s merged wh NN and ermed as wavele neural newor (WNN. The WNN has been emerged as a powerful new ype of ANN. Bu he major drawbac of he WNN s ha for hgher dmensonal problems many hdden layer uns are needed. Curse of dmensonaly s an unsolved problem n WNN heory whch brngs some dffcules n applyng he WNN o hgh dmensonal problem. So he applcaons of WNN are usually lmed o problems of small npu dmensons. The man reason s ha hey are composed of regularly dlaed and ranslaed waveles. The number of waveles n he WNN drascally ncreases wh he dmenson. In order o ae he advanages of local capacy of he wavele basc funcon whle no havng oo many hdden uns, he archecure of LLWNN has been used n hs paper for STLF.

2 Shor-Term Load Forecasng usng PSO based Local Lnear Wavele Neural Newor II. LOAD-DATA ANALYSIS To develop an approprae model for forecasng, we examne he man characerscs of he seres n hs Secon. To llusrae he forecasng procedure he elecrc for he hub of he New England pool from July 8 o 3 Augus, 8 s used for predcon. Accordng o he daa samples for each hour of he day and each day of he monh, s clear ha he dynamcs have mulple seasonal paerns, correspondng o a daly and weely perodcy, respecvely, and are also nfluenced by a calendar effec,.e. weeends and holdays. These properes are jus he same as hose of prce. I s well-nown ha he emperaure s he mos domnan weaher facor ha drves he shor erm. The sascal correlaon coeffcen beween emperaure and s found o be.745. I can be observed ha he seres presens mulple perodces and hence, he pas demand could affec and mply he fuure demand. If he a hour h s o be forecased, he nformaon of prevous hours up o m hours should be aen as a par of he npu of shor erm forecasng(stlf model. The auo correlaon funcon (ACF can be used o denfy he degree of assocaon beween daa n he seres separaed by dfferen me lags.e. prevous. The hsorcal of 7 days pror o day whose s o be predced have been consdered o buld he proposed forecasng model. Hence he oal daa pons are equal o 7*4=68. Snce he proposed model uses daa of 7 hours ago o predc he a hour h, 68-7=6 npu vecors are used o develop he forecas model. III. ELECTRIC LOAD FORECASTING USING PSO BASED LLWNN The srucure of LLWNN model s shown n Fg.. I comprse of npu layer, hdden layer and lnear oupu layer. The npu daa n npu layer of he newor are drecly ransmed no he wavele layer. As he hdden layer neurons mae use of waveles as acvaon funcons, hese neurons are usually called wavelons. Snce forecasng s used by power companes o ancpae he amoun of power needed o supply he demand, accurae esmaes are crucal for producers o maxmze her profs and for consumers o maxmze her ules. In sead of usng mul layered neural newors and s several varans a LLWNN s used for forecasng he nex day and nex wee elecrc n a deregulaed envronmen. In he proposed model, one hour ahead forecasng usng seven hours before daa and weny four hours ahead forecasng usng seven days.e. 68 hours before daa have been used. Accordng o wavele ransformaon heory, waveles n he followng form s a famly of ψ = / n { ψ = a ψ : a, b R, z} x b a x = ( x, x,... xn a = ( a, a,... a n b = ( b, b... bn funcons, generaed from one sngle funcon ψ(x by he operaon of dlaon and ranslaon ψ(x. ψ(x whch s localzed n boh me space and he frequency space, s called a moher wavele and he parameers a and b are he scale and ranslaon parameers, respecvely.
