The invention discloses an intelligent
power grid short-term load prediction method based on an improved RBF neural network, relates to the technical field of intelligent
power grid, and is used for determining the
basis function center and improving the load prediction precision of the intelligent
power grid. The prediction method includes: S1, performing network initialization; S2, calculating the
basis function center ci; S3, calculating the variance [zeta]i according to the
basis function center ci; S4, calculating the output Ri of a
hidden layer according to the basis function center ci and the variance [zeta]i; S5, calculating the output of an output layer according to the output Ri of the
hidden layer; S6, calculating a prediction error E according to a mean squared error and the function; S7, updating connecting weights of neurons of the
hidden layer and neurons of the output layer in the neural network; and S8, determining the prediction error E, if the prediction error E is expected, ending iterative calculation, and otherwise, returning to step S4, and re-performing iterative calculation on the prediction error E. The method is used for predicting the load of the power grid.
