Robust Wavelet Transform Neural-Network-Based Short-Term Load Forecasting for Power Distribution Networks
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (1)
- Although STLF has been fully investigated in transmission networks and at the household-level, distribution-level STLF is a relatively weak segment in current power systems.
- (2)
- A new hybrid STLF that takes advantage of Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD), Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), and Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT) should be proposed.
