Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of load forecasting technology, and in particular to a method and system for electricity consumption analysis and load forecasting. Background Technology
[0002] Electricity load is influenced by a variety of factors, such as weather, economic activity, and population growth. The uncertainty of these factors poses challenges to load forecasting. Researchers are developing more advanced algorithms, such as deep learning-based models, to improve forecast accuracy. With the development of big data technology, researchers are beginning to utilize historical load data, weather data, and other relevant data to train forecasting models. These models include traditional time series models (such as ARIMA), machine learning models (such as random forests and support vector machines), and deep learning models (such as convolutional neural networks). Load forecasting needs to cover different time scales, from short-term (such as daily and weekly) to long-term (such as monthly and yearly). Forecasts at different time scales require consideration of different influencing factors and models. For example, short-term forecasts may rely more on weather data, while long-term forecasts may need to consider factors such as economic growth and population changes. Electricity demand typically exhibits obvious seasonal and cyclical characteristics. For example, electricity consumption typically increases in winter and summer due to heating and cooling needs. Forecasting models need to be able to capture these patterns and incorporate them into forecasts. Grid electricity data may contain missing values, outliers, or noise. Effective data cleaning and preprocessing are key steps in improving forecast accuracy. Researchers have developed various algorithms to address these problems, including outlier detection and recursive imputation algorithms based on the improved KNN algorithm. Power systems are complex, requiring consideration of multiple variables (such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed) and the interactions of multiple regions. This necessitates predictive models capable of handling multivariate data and capturing the interdependencies between different regions. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The following describes a method for electricity consumption analysis and load forecasting according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] S1, obtain the current number of users and the type of electricity load;

[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, since there is currently no official data or information summarizing and statistically analyzing the annual electricity consumption of Daguan Island, the present invention analyzes the electricity consumption of Daguan Island based on the current number of villagers and their electricity usage. The electricity load of Daguan Island is mainly divided into four types: electricity consumption by villagers, electricity consumption for seawater desalination, electricity consumption for production, and electricity consumption for tourism.
[0039] (1) Electricity consumption for villagers' daily life
[0040] Currently, Daguan Island Village has 32 households. Based on an average monthly electricity consumption of 100 kWh per household, the annual electricity consumption would be:
[0041] 32 × 100 × 12 = 38400 (kW·h)
[0042] (2) Electricity consumption for seawater desalination
[0043] Currently, Daguan Island has an existing seawater desalination plant, but its desalination capacity is only sufficient to meet the daily water needs of the island's residents. Therefore, the newly added seawater desalination plant will be used to supply water to tourists. Assuming an average daily tourist volume of 80 people per year, and each person consumes 50 kg of freshwater per day, the average daily water consumption for tourists is 4000 kg. Taking a seawater desalination plant with a daily output of 5000 kg as an example, the electricity consumption is 5 kW·h per 1000 kg of freshwater produced. Therefore, the annual electricity consumption of the seawater desalination system is:
[0044] 5 × 5 × 365 = 9125 (kW·h)
[0045] (3) Electricity consumption for production
[0046] Due to its natural conditions, Daguan Island's main industries are fishing and aquaculture, with abalone and sea cucumber farming ponds built around the island. Therefore, the island's electricity consumption primarily comes from the pumps and aerators used for abalone and sea cucumber farming. Assuming the island currently uses one 10kW pump and one 5kW aerator, and that the suitable farming days are approximately 90 days per year, with pumping and aerating the ponds 24 hours a day during the farming season, then Daguan Island's annual electricity consumption would be:
[0047] (10+5)×24×90=32400(kW·h)
[0048] (4) Electricity consumption in the tourism industry
[0049] With the government's vigorous promotion of tourism on Daguan Island, there are currently more than ten hotels in Daguan Island Village, with a total of about 40 rooms. Each room consumes approximately 100 kWh of electricity per month. Therefore, the annual electricity consumption of tourism on Daguan Island is:
[0050] 40 × 100 × 12 = 48000 (kW·h)
[0051] (5) Total load and electricity consumption
[0052] Based on the above analysis of electricity consumption in four areas—domestic electricity, seawater desalination electricity, industrial electricity, and tourism electricity—the average annual electricity consumption of Daguan Island is approximately:
[0053] 38400+9125+48000+32400=127925(kW·h)
[0054] It is known that, theoretically, the average annual load of Daguan Island is about 70kW. However, considering factors such as season and passenger flow, and estimating it based on a simultaneity rate of 0.8, the annual load of Daguan Island is about 56kW.
[0055] Furthermore, forecasting the electricity consumption and load of independent islands is an important step in the planning of a comprehensive renewable energy utilization system platform. Accurate forecasting can effectively ensure the reliability and economy of the system.
[0056] This invention provides an embodiment for predicting electricity consumption and maximum load according to prediction time type; wherein, the prediction time type includes ultra-short-term, short-term, medium-term, and long-term; and the corresponding prediction time type is selected according to different conditions and environments to predict electricity consumption and maximum load.
[0057] The combined prediction model of this invention includes multiple methods such as regression analysis, time series analysis, trend analysis, artificial neural network, fuzzy prediction, and grey prediction. It also includes: obtaining multiple prediction results corresponding to multiple combined prediction models; summarizing the multiple prediction results to obtain a summarized prediction result; and performing comparative analysis on the summarized prediction results to select the optimal combined prediction model based on the comparative analysis results.
[0058] Specifically, there is currently a great deal of research on power load forecasting. Classified by forecast timeframe, it can be divided into four categories: ultra-short-term, short-term, medium-term, and long-term. Long-term forecasting generally refers to forecasts with a forecast period of 10 years or more, while short-term forecasts have a forecast period of approximately 5 years. Short-term forecasts mainly predict load for no more than one year, and ultra-short-term forecasts have even shorter timeframes. In practical applications, the appropriate type of forecasting is selected based on different conditions and environments. Furthermore, with the deepening of research, there are increasingly more methods for load forecasting, no longer limited to traditional regression analysis, time series analysis, and trend analysis. It can also be seen that experts and scholars are incorporating modern technologies into their research methods, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy forecasting, and grey forecasting. Since each forecasting method has its own applicable range, a single method is unlikely to meet all conditions. Therefore, researchers have proposed combined forecasting models that summarize and analyze the forecasting results of multiple methods. Compared to the results obtained from a single forecasting method, combined forecasting results are more accurate and comprehensive, and can meet most operating conditions.
[0059] Furthermore, the electricity consumption and maximum load of the main island are predicted to configure the capacity of the renewable energy integrated utilization system. The relationship between total electricity consumption and total load is shown in the following equation:
[0060]
[0061] Where L is the total load, A is the total electricity consumption, and T is the total load. MAx This represents the number of hours the system is used at its maximum load.
[0062] Since there is currently no specific historical data or research on the actual electricity consumption and load of Daguan Island, a long-term forecast is made based on the aforementioned electricity consumption characteristics of Daguan Island and relevant national and governmental support policies. According to general experience, the service life of offshore power generation equipment is typically 15 years; therefore, a 15-year load forecast is conducted for Daguan Island. It is assumed that during these 15 years, the number of villagers on the island remains constant, and the increase in electricity load for villagers' daily life is mainly due to the increase in electrical equipment; the electricity load for seawater desalination depends primarily on the development of tourism, with its growth rate matching that of tourism; and the electricity load for production remains relatively constant. Based on the literature, assuming that the load on Daguan Island increases at a rate of 1.8% per year, and the average electricity consumption on the island increases at a rate of 2% per year, the forecast results are as follows:
[0063] 56 × (1 + 1.8%) 15 ≈73.18 (kW)
[0064] 127925×(1+2%) 5 ≈172170.21 (kW·h)
[0065] Therefore, it is estimated that by 2036, the average annual load of Daguan Island will be 73.18 kW and the average annual electricity consumption will be 172,170.21 kWh.
[0066] Furthermore, Daguan Island is located in the Yellow Sea at 120°46'00"E, 36°13'44"N, surrounded by the sea and possessing abundant marine renewable resources. The following analysis examines the wind, solar, tidal, and salinity gradient energy resources in the waters near Daguan Island.
[0067] 1. Wind energy
[0068] According to relevant data, Daguan Island has relatively abundant wind energy resources, with wind speeds in the surrounding waters typically reaching level 3 or higher. Statistics show that the average sea wind speed is approximately 5 m / s, with the maximum wind speed in the area reaching 34 m / s. The annual effective wind hours (3 m / s-20 m / s) are approximately 7000 hours, and the annual effective wind energy is approximately 3578 kWh / m². 2 .
[0069] 2. Solar energy
[0070] According to data from the "Jimo City Marine and Fisheries Resources Database," Daguan Island has a warm temperate monsoon climate, with occasional foggy weather. The average number of foggy days per year is approximately 29, with the remaining days being sunny. The intensity of sunlight varies throughout the year. Generally, May and June have the longest sunshine hours, with an average monthly sunshine duration of 240-300 hours. December to February of the following year have the shortest sunshine hours, with an average monthly sunshine duration of approximately 142-193 hours. The average annual sunshine duration is approximately 2000 hours. The annual radiation can exceed 500,000 J / cm². 2 .
[0071] 3. Tidal Energy
[0072] According to reference
[26] , the average wave height of the ocean currents near Daguan Island is 1.7-2m, the average water depth is over 40m, the current velocity is approximately 1.5-4.2m / s, and the average power density can reach 1.2-3.7kW / m². 2 Since the direction of ocean currents is the same as the direction of waves, the direction of ocean currents can be inferred from the direction of waves. Specific data such as the direction of currents are shown in Table 1 below.
[0073] Table 1
[0074]
[0075] 4. Salinity gradient energy
[0076] The average annual seawater temperature near Daguan Island is approximately 20.52℃, and the average salinity is 29.37%. The average spring seawater runoff is 1403 m³ / h. 3 / s, the average summer seawater runoff is 2008m³ / s 3 / s, the average autumn seawater runoff is 914m³ 3 / s, the average winter seawater runoff is 622m³ 3 / s.
[0077] According to commonly used marine tables, when the seawater temperature is 20℃, the osmotic pressure values of seawater with different concentrations are shown in Table 2.
[0078] Table 2
[0079]
[0080] Based on the sea temperature and salinity data in the table above, the osmotic pressure near Daguan Island is approximately 2.465 MPa. The salinity gradient energy potential is the product of seawater runoff and osmotic pressure, thus the annual average salinity gradient energy potential near Daguan Island is calculated to be approximately 2.81 × 10⁶ kW.

Load forecasting technology can cover different time spans, including ultra-short-term, short-term, medium-term, and long-term load forecasting.

Load forecasting technology can be applied to different scales, including grid-level load forecasting and user-level load forecasting. This contributes to the stable operation and reasonable improvement of the power system and is also closely related to the relevant businesses of electricity sales companies. Since load is affected by many factors, such as weather and holidays, load forecasting technology needs to be able to handle these uncertainties and randomness. This requires the forecasting model to be able to adapt to changes under different conditions and provide multiple forecasting schemes. This makes it possible to combine modern technologies such as big data and deep learning for load forecasting. The application of these technologies provides new solutions for load forecasting and improves the accuracy and efficiency of forecasting. With accurate load forecasting, the power system can more effectively dispatch power and allocate resources, thereby reducing unnecessary energy waste and improving the economic efficiency of the power system.
