The invention discloses a power
system short-term load probability forecasting method, a device and a
system. The short-term load probability density forecasting model of
Gaussian process
quantile regression is established by selecting an optimal input variable set affecting the load. Firstly, the importance
score of input variables is given by stochastic forest
algorithm, and the influence degreeof each input variable is sorted. Secondly,
particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to search the super-parameters of the model to form the optimal
Gaussian process
quantile regression prediction model, avoiding the
adverse effect of artificial experience setting initial parameters on the prediction performance of the model. The invention can avoid the shortcomings of manual experience selection, the
load forecasting model established in the optimal input variable set has low error, which further reduces the forecasting error, and overcomes the problems that the common
conjugate gradient method is easy to fall into the local optimal solution, the iterative number is difficult to determine, and the optimization performance is greatly affected by the initial value selection, so that the self-searching and group cognitive ability can be brought into full play.
