Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power system load forecasting technology, specifically to an equipment-level load forecasting method and system based on dynamic decoupling of load components. Background Technology

[0002] As power systems develop towards intelligence and precision, equipment-level load forecasting has become a fundamental supporting technology for key aspects such as power grid planning, dispatching, and demand-side management. Equipment-level load forecasting primarily aims to accurately estimate the future electricity load of power equipment such as substations and distribution lines, providing crucial information for the safe and economical operation of the power grid. Compared to system-level load forecasting, equipment-level loads exhibit greater volatility and uncertainty, and typically include a mixture of different types of load components, such as residential, commercial, and industrial loads. These load components possess significantly different electricity consumption characteristics and influencing factors, posing substantial challenges to forecasting efforts.

[0003] Looking at the development history of power load forecasting technology, early load forecasting methods mainly relied on statistical principles. In the 1970s and 80s, regression analysis methods were widely used in load forecasting, such as multiple linear regression and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity models. These methods establish forecasting models based on the statistical relationships between historical load data and relevant factors (such as temperature, humidity, and date type). Although these methods are computationally simple and easy to implement, they struggle to effectively capture the nonlinear relationships and complex patterns in load data, resulting in limited forecasting accuracy.

[0004] Subsequently, time series analysis techniques began to emerge in the field of load forecasting. Time series methods such as ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) models and exponential smoothing can better characterize the temporal correlation and periodic changes in load data. These methods are particularly suitable for short-term load forecasting scenarios, but they are still insufficient when dealing with long-term trends and the influence of various external factors. Especially for load data with obvious seasonality and trends, traditional time series methods often require seasonal-trend decomposition preprocessing, increasing the complexity of modeling.

[0005] Beginning in the 1990s, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies were gradually applied to the field of load forecasting, bringing about significant methodological breakthroughs. Artificial neural networks, due to their powerful nonlinear fitting and adaptive learning capabilities, became one of the mainstream methods for load forecasting. Subsequently, various machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machines, random forests, and gradient boosting trees, were also introduced into the field of load forecasting, further improving forecasting performance. In recent years, the rapid development of deep learning technology has brought new opportunities to load forecasting. Deep learning models such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory networks (LSTMs), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can automatically extract multi-level features from load data, significantly improving forecasting accuracy.

[0006] Despite the continuous development of load forecasting technology, current methods still face several key issues and challenges when applied to equipment-level load forecasting: First, equipment-level loads are typically a mixture of various load components, each with significantly different electricity consumption characteristics and influencing factors. For example, residential loads are mainly affected by living habits and temperature, exhibiting obvious intraday fluctuations and seasonal variations; commercial loads are highly correlated with business hours and weekday types; and industrial loads are more influenced by production plans and economic factors, exhibiting both strong regularity and suddenness. Traditional "one-size-fits-all" forecasting methods use a single model to handle mixed loads, which cannot simultaneously adapt to the differences in characteristics among different load components, resulting in limited forecast accuracy, especially when the proportion of load components changes dynamically.

[0007] Secondly, existing load forecasting methods generally lack the ability to analyze the internal structure of mixed loads. Most methods model mixed loads of different components as a whole, ignoring the composition and dynamic characteristics of the internal load components. This "black box" approach cannot identify and utilize the characteristic patterns of different load components, nor can it provide in-depth insights into load composition, thus limiting the performance ceiling and application value of forecasting models.

[0008] Third, equipment-level load forecasting faces a significant sample imbalance problem. Power systems contain a large number of newly commissioned devices or devices with significantly changed load characteristics, which often lack sufficient historical data to support modeling. Existing methods struggle to effectively handle forecasting for data-sparse devices and lack a knowledge transfer mechanism from data-rich devices to data-sparse devices, leading to a prominent cold-start problem.

[0009] Fourth, the interpretability of load forecasting models is insufficient. While black-box models such as deep learning have strong fitting capabilities, their internal decision-making mechanisms are difficult to understand, and they lack reasonable explanations for the forecast results, limiting the credibility and acceptance of these models in actual business operations. As a critical infrastructure, the power system's decision support models need to possess a certain degree of interpretability and understandability.

[0010] Fifth, the dynamic evolution of load characteristics poses challenges to forecasting. With the rapid development of new load types such as distributed energy and electric vehicles, and the continuous changes in electricity consumption patterns, load characteristics exhibit a dynamic evolution trend. Most existing forecasting methods are based on static load characteristic assumptions, lacking the ability to adapt to dynamic changes in load characteristics and making it difficult to accurately capture emerging load patterns.

[0011] To address the multi-component mixing problem in equipment-level load forecasting, the industry has proposed some preliminary solutions. A common approach is load decomposition forecasting, which involves first decomposing the mixed load into different types of sub-loads, modeling and forecasting each separately, and then aggregating the results. However, existing load decomposition methods are mostly based on simple rules or statistical features (such as weekday type, time period division, etc.), lacking in-depth analysis of the inherent patterns of the load, resulting in limited decomposition accuracy. Another approach is ensemble learning methods, which improve overall performance by integrating the prediction results of multiple base models. However, traditional ensemble methods typically employ static weight allocation strategies, failing to dynamically adjust the ensemble weights based on the characteristics of the input samples, making it difficult to adapt to scenarios where the proportions of load components change dynamically.

[0012] Furthermore, for the prediction problem of data-sparse devices, some studies have attempted to use transfer learning and few-shot learning techniques to transfer knowledge from data-rich devices to data-sparse devices. However, these methods often perform the transfer directly at the overall load level, ignoring the differences between different load components, resulting in poor transfer performance. At the same time, existing methods lack effective mechanisms for organizing and managing load knowledge, failing to achieve the accumulation and continuous optimization of load knowledge.

[0013] In practical applications, a single power equipment (such as a substation or distribution line) often carries multiple types of loads simultaneously, such as the common situation of mixed power supply to residential areas, commercial areas, and industrial parks. The electricity consumption patterns and influencing factors of these different types of loads vary significantly, and simply modeling them as a whole will result in models that cannot accurately capture the characteristics of each type of load. Furthermore, with urban development and industrial restructuring, the proportion of load components carried by equipment is constantly changing, further exacerbating the difficulty of prediction.

[0014] In summary, existing load forecasting technologies have significant limitations when dealing with mixed loads at the equipment level, making it difficult to simultaneously meet requirements such as high accuracy, interpretability, and adaptability. There is an urgent need for a novel forecasting method that can automatically identify and decompose load components, perform personalized modeling for the characteristics of different load components, and dynamically fuse the forecasting results of each component. This would overcome the limitations of traditional "one-size-fits-all" forecasting methods and improve the accuracy and practicality of equipment-level load forecasting. Based on an in-depth analysis of the above problems, this invention proposes an equipment-level load forecasting method and system based on dynamic decoupling of load components to solve the key technical challenges in equipment-level load forecasting.

[0085] Example 4: To verify the device-level load forecasting method based on dynamic decoupling of load components proposed in this invention, the experiment was conducted at the distribution network data center of a provincial power company. Five different types of substations were selected as test objects, including a substation in a comprehensive commercial area, a substation in a residential area, a substation in an industrial park, a substation in a school park, and a substation in a mixed commercial and residential area. The hardware environment used an Intel Xeon Gold 6248R processor (3.0GHz, 48 cores), 384GB of memory, and an NVIDIA Tesla A100 GPU for acceleration. The software environment used Python 3.9 and the PyTorch 2.0 framework. The experiment used historical load data from January 2023 to December 2023, with a time granularity of 15 minutes, and collected meteorological data, holiday information, and relevant economic indicators for the same period.

[0086] Traditional single neural network prediction method (LSTM-FCN): This method employs a hybrid model combining long short-term memory networks and fully convolutional networks to directly model and predict the overall load, without considering differences in load components. The model structure consists of two LSTM layers (each with 128 neurons) and three convolutional layers (with kernel sizes of 3, 5, and 7), finally outputting the prediction result through a fully connected layer. This method represents the current mainstream load prediction technology approach.

[0087] Load Classification Forecasting Method (Load-Type-Net): First, loads are classified into three categories—residential, commercial, and industrial—using manual rules. Then, an independent forecasting model is trained for each category. Residential loads use a seasonal ARIMA model, commercial loads use a gradient boosting tree model, and industrial loads use a deep neural network model. Finally, the forecast results from each model are summed with fixed weights (determined based on historical average proportions) to obtain the final forecast result. This method represents a technical approach that considers load type but uses static classification.

[0088] First, data preprocessing is performed, including a comprehensive cleaning of the collected historical load data, outlier removal using a moving median filter, and missing data points filled in using linear interpolation. Then, multidimensional time features are extracted, including hour, date, day of the week, month, and holiday indicators. Simultaneously, a meteorological feature vector is constructed, integrating environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and light intensity. All feature data undergoes Min-Max standardization to ensure that feature values ​​for each dimension are mapped to the [0,1] interval, eliminating the influence of unit dimensions.

[0089] After data preparation, the entire dataset is divided into training, validation, and test sets in an 8:1:1 ratio according to time sequence. To implement the scheme of this invention, the load component decoupling network is first trained, employing a dual-path architecture to achieve automatic decomposition of mixed loads. The time-domain path uses a three-layer multi-scale temporal convolutional structure of 64-128-256, with receptive fields of 3, 9, and 27, respectively, effectively capturing features at different time scales. The frequency-domain path extracts multi-scale frequency-domain features through a 5-layer discrete wavelet transform, which are then effectively represented by a frequency-domain feature extraction network. The features from the two paths are fused through a multi-head attention mechanism (8 heads), and then the soft decomposition layer generates the weight distribution of each load component.

[0090] Next, specialized optimized expert models were trained for each load component type. The residential load expert model employs an architecture combining STL decomposition and a bidirectional LSTM network. Seasonal, trend, and residual components are modeled using LSTM networks with 32-64-128 neurons respectively, and the final results are integrated through an adaptive fusion network. The commercial load expert model uses a two-stream neural network structure. The time stream is processed by a GRU network with 128-256 neurons, while the feature stream extracts features through a three-layer residual network. The two streams of features are organically fused through a cross-attention mechanism. The industrial load expert model utilizes a graph convolutional network constructed from a supply chain relationship graph, combined with a TCN network with 64-128 nodes to capture periodic production characteristics. The general load expert model is implemented based on the MAML framework and achieves rapid adaptation through five gradient updates.

[0091] Subsequently, a dynamic gating fusion network is trained to learn the optimal integration method between static features (such as device location, type, and capacity) and dynamic features (such as time, weather, and external events). The feature integration layer adopts a multilayer perceptron with 128-256-512 nodes, and the gating computation layer introduces a 16-head self-attention mechanism to enhance key features. The prediction fusion layer achieves final weight allocation and bias calibration through a three-layer fully connected network.

[0092] A load component memory is constructed in parallel, containing typical load patterns of various equipment over the past year. It is indexed and organized by equipment type, storing 100 prototype vectors for each equipment type. The memory employs a similarity retrieval mechanism, using an improved cosine similarity formula for matching, providing knowledge transfer for new equipment. Finally, an expert knowledge distillation process is implemented, with a temperature parameter set to 2.0 and a balancing parameter... Setting it to 0.7 allows each expert model to draw on the strengths and experiences of other experts while maintaining its specialization.

[0093] After training is completed, the proposed solution and two comparative solutions are comprehensively evaluated and tested on the test set, covering predictions at different time granularities (15 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day), including different load scenarios such as weekdays, weekends, holidays and extreme weather, and targeted tests of load component mutation scenarios, such as large-scale promotional activities in shopping malls, temporary production changes in factories and sudden events.

[0094] This experiment employs a multi-dimensional evaluation system to comprehensively measure the performance of each prediction scheme. Prediction accuracy is evaluated using the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) as the core indicator, calculated using the following formula: ,in This represents the actual load value. This represents the predicted load value. This represents the number of predicted samples. The root mean square error (RMSE) is also introduced to evaluate the absolute error; the calculation formula is as follows: The coefficient of determination (R²) assesses the model's ability to explain load changes, and is calculated using the following formula: ,in This represents the average value of the actual load.

[0095] For robustness assessment, three specialized test scenarios were designed: load mutation adaptability test, which simulates scenarios such as commercial promotions and sudden changes in industrial production, and records the time required for the prediction error to recover to normal levels; abnormal weather adaptability test, which selects the prediction accuracy under extreme meteorological conditions such as extreme high temperature, cold wave, and rainstorm; and special event adaptability test, which targets the prediction accuracy during holidays such as Spring Festival and National Day, as well as special events such as large-scale sports events.

[0096] Computational efficiency evaluation included training time measurement (time required to complete the entire training process, in hours), prediction speed measurement (time required to generate one day's prediction results, in seconds), and resource consumption monitoring (memory usage and GPU utilization during training and prediction). During testing, each metric was measured 10 times, the average was taken, and the standard deviation was calculated to ensure statistical significance of the results.

[0097] The generalizability assessment focuses on the model's generalization ability and adaptability, including cross-equipment applicability testing (prediction accuracy on different types of substations), cold start capability testing (prediction accuracy during the initial commissioning of new equipment, with data volumes of 10%, 20%, and 50% of the standard amount), and interpretability assessment (the degree of agreement between the load component decoupling results and the actual load composition, verified through manual annotation). To ensure the comprehensiveness of the assessment, equipment with different load characteristics (high residential proportion, high commercial proportion, high industrial proportion, and balanced mixed proportion) are tested separately, and the results are weighted and averaged, with the weights determined according to the actual distribution proportion of various types of equipment in the power grid.

[0098] Table 1. Experimental Results

[0099] As shown in Table 1, the proposed solution achieves a prediction error of 2.17% on the overall MAPE index, representing improvements of 62.8% and 48.5% compared to comparative solutions 1 and 2, respectively. This significant improvement stems from the load component decoupling network's ability to accurately identify the inherent structural features of mixed loads, providing precise load components for subsequent expert models. The time-frequency dual-path design enables the decoupling network to simultaneously capture the temporal dependence and periodicity of the load, greatly improving the accuracy of component identification, as evidenced by the 91.8% load component identification accuracy.

[0100] In tests conducted at various types of substations, the proposed solution demonstrated comprehensive performance advantages. Particularly in mixed-area scenarios, the MAPE of this solution was only 2.34%, representing improvements of 73.8% and 65.7% compared to Comparative Solution 1 and Comparative Solution 2, respectively. This fully demonstrates the superior capability of this solution in handling complex load compositions. Prediction errors for residential, commercial, and industrial areas were 2.08%, 2.36%, and 2.51%, respectively, all showing significant improvements. This result validates the effectiveness of the multi-expert model system; each expert model, through optimized design for specific load components, can more accurately capture the characteristics and variation patterns of that type of load.

[0101] In load mutation adaptability tests, the proposed solution demonstrated outstanding performance. Under scenarios simulating rapid changes in load components, such as commercial promotions and industrial production fluctuations, the proposed solution restored normal prediction accuracy in just 1.8 hours, representing reductions of 76.0% and 65.4% compared to comparative solutions 1 and 2, respectively. This is attributed to the dynamic gating fusion network's ability to adjust the weight contributions of each expert model in real time based on input conditions, rapidly adapting to changes in load patterns. The self-attention mechanism in the gating network effectively enhances the emphasis on key features, improving the accuracy of weight allocation.

[0102] The seasonal variation RMSE test reflects the model's adaptability to load pattern changes caused by seasonal transitions. The RMSE value of the proposed solution is 103.4 kW, which is 68.5% and 57.2% lower than that of comparative solutions 1 and 2, respectively. This indicates that the load component decoupling method of the present invention can effectively identify the variation characteristics of each load component under different seasons, and the expert model system can specifically model these changes. In particular, the STL decomposition structure in the residential load expert model shows strong modeling ability for seasonal variations.

[0103] Load extreme value prediction is crucial for the safe operation of power systems. The proposed solution achieves deviations of 2.12% and 2.04% in peak and valley load prediction, respectively, representing a significant improvement over comparative solutions. This is of great value for grid dispatching and capacity planning, effectively avoiding resource waste and system risks. The prediction accuracy for special events reaches 92.7%, superior to the 78.4% and 83.6% of the comparative solutions, demonstrating the invention's stronger adaptability to unconventional load scenarios.

[0104] The cold start capability test reflects the model's ability to handle new equipment with sparse data. The proposed solution, with only a small amount of historical data, predicts a MAPE of only 3.62%, a reduction of 70.7% and 63.2% compared to Comparative Solution 1 and Comparative Solution 2, respectively. This superior performance stems from the knowledge transfer mechanism of the load component memory, which can extract similar load patterns from existing equipment and adapt them to new equipment, quickly building a high-quality prediction model. The proposed solution achieves high prediction accuracy without requiring a large amount of historical data, significantly lowering the implementation threshold for predicting new equipment.

[0105] In terms of computational efficiency, the prediction time of the proposed solution is 0.63 seconds / day, slightly higher than that of comparative solution 1 (0.42 seconds / day), but lower than that of comparative solution 2 (0.75 seconds / day). Considering the significant improvement in prediction accuracy, this computational cost is entirely reasonable. The number of model parameters is 6.8 million, falling between that of comparative solution 1 (4.2 million) and comparative solution 2 (9.7 million), indicating that the proposed solution achieves a substantial performance improvement while maintaining a reasonable level of model complexity.

[0106] In cross-device applicability testing, the average MAPE of the proposed solution was 2.43%, which is 66.3% and 57.8% higher than that of comparative solution 1 and comparative solution 2, respectively. This demonstrates that the proposed solution has strong generalization ability and can adapt to different types and characteristics of equipment. This generalization ability stems from the deep understanding of equipment characteristics through the load component decoupling mechanism, as well as the knowledge sharing and transfer learning capabilities promoted by the expert knowledge distillation mechanism.

[0107] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it.

[0108] Example 5 provides an extended implementation scheme for a dynamic load component decoupling system in a new energy integration scenario. With the continuous increase in installed capacity of new energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics, the load characteristics of the power system have changed significantly, making traditional load forecasting methods difficult to adapt to this new mixed load structure. To address this issue, this example extends the basic technical solution to new energy consumption scenarios, enhancing the system's forecasting capability under conditions of high renewable energy penetration.

[0109] In this embodiment, the basic load component decoupling network is first extended to enhance its ability to identify renewable energy loads. The modified load component decoupling network can identify not only traditional residential, commercial, industrial, and other loads, but also two newly added components: wind power consumption load and photovoltaic consumption load.

The irradiance prediction module combines astronomical calculations and meteorological conditions to predict solar irradiance for future periods. The photovoltaic conversion efficiency module considers factors such as temperature, module type, and degradation to calculate the actual power generation efficiency. The grid absorption module analyzes the grid's ability to absorb photovoltaic power and generates an absorption coefficient. The outputs of each module are weighted using both spatial and temporal attention mechanisms to obtain the final photovoltaic load forecast. in, This represents the predicted value of photovoltaic load. and These are spatial attention weights and temporal attention weights, respectively. For photovoltaic installed capacity, For the predicted duration.

[0112] To adapt to the drastic fluctuations in load composition ratios under high renewable energy penetration scenarios, this embodiment enhances the dynamic gating fusion network. First, a meteorological factor encoder and a renewable energy output encoder are added to the feature integration layer to encode weather changes and renewable energy output, respectively. Then, a multi-scale time gating mechanism is introduced into the gating calculation layer, capable of capturing load composition variation patterns at different time scales from minutes to days. The improved gating calculation formula is as follows: in, Indicates the first On the first time scale The weights of each expert model, and These are static and dynamic features, respectively, and are newly added.

Indicates the first The prediction results of the expert model Indicates the first The gating weights of an expert model and They represent the first The actual and projected output of new energy sources This represents the corresponding correction factor.

[0114] To address the cold start issue in renewable energy scenarios, this embodiment expands the load component memory. The memory adds a renewable energy load pattern library, organizing renewable energy load patterns by region type, installed capacity structure, and absorption characteristics. The similarity retrieval module adds a meteorological condition matching mechanism, calculating the similarity of equipment in renewable energy scenarios using the following formula: in, This indicates the similarity between devices X and Y in a new energy scenario. This represents the basic similarity calculation formula. Indicates the similarity of meteorological conditions. and Let X and Y represent the meteorological feature vectors of devices X and Y, respectively. Indicates the similarity of installed capacity structure. and Let X and Y represent the feature vectors of installed capacity, respectively. and This indicates an adjustable parameter.

[0115] The knowledge transfer module has also been enhanced, adding a new energy penetration rate adaptation layer, which can automatically adjust transfer parameters based on the new energy penetration rate level of the target equipment. in, and These represent the model parameters of the target device and the source device, respectively. Indicates the learning rate. This represents a matrix showing the differences in new energy penetration rates. This represents the gradient of the source device model. This adaptive migration mechanism can effectively handle the forecasting needs of different new energy penetration rates.

[0116] This embodiment also extends the expert knowledge distillation mechanism by adding a new energy expert knowledge extraction module. This module specifically extracts key knowledge from wind power and photovoltaic expert models and passes it to other expert models to improve their predictive capabilities in new energy scenarios. The extended distillation loss formula is as follows: in, This indicates distillation losses in new energy scenarios. Represents cross-entropy loss, Denotes KL divergence, This indicates the integration of soft tags. Soft labels indicating new energy expert models Indicates the first A soft label for an expert and Represents the balance parameters. Indicates the true label, Indicates the first The predictions of several experts.

[0117] To meet the high-frequency requirements of new energy forecasting, this embodiment implements multi-time-granularity forecasting capabilities, including ultra-short-term (5-minute), short-term (hourly), medium-term (daily), and long-term (weekly / monthly) forecasts. Each time granularity employs a cascaded forecasting structure, with high-frequency forecast results serving as input features for low-frequency forecasts, and is integrated using the following formula: in, Indicates the first Prediction results at each time granularity This represents the corresponding prediction function.

Based on load forecasts and new energy output forecasts, the system automatically generates optimized new energy dispatch suggestions to improve the new energy consumption rate and reduce wind and solar curtailment rates, providing decision support for grid dispatch.

[0120] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
