Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power load forecasting technology, and relates to a power load forecasting method and related apparatus based on multi-representation adaptive alignment. Background Technology

[0002] With the large-scale grid integration of new energy sources such as wind and solar power, the deepening of power market reforms, and the increasing abundance of demand-side adjustable resources, the composition and dynamic behavior of regional power loads are becoming increasingly complex. Their time series exhibit significant characteristics such as non-stationarity, nonlinearity, and multi-timescale coupling. Specifically, load sequences simultaneously contain intraday periodicity, weekly periodicity, long-term trends, and random disturbances caused by weather, holidays, and unforeseen events. Different forecasting steps (such as ultra-short-term, short-term, and medium-term) emphasize different aspects of load evolution patterns; short-term forecasts focus more on local fluctuation patterns, while medium- and long-term forecasts rely more on overall structural stability and periodic patterns.

[0003] To address these challenges, load forecasting technology has evolved from traditional statistical methods (such as time series analysis and regression models) to artificial intelligence methods based on machine learning and deep learning, significantly improving forecast accuracy. However, when facing complex forecasting scenarios involving multiple regions and time scales, existing technologies still suffer from several common shortcomings that urgently need to be addressed, mainly in the following aspects: Most methods only model the spatial representation in a single time period, making it difficult to simultaneously characterize trend structures and local disturbances; the structural differences between multivariate loads lack explicit constraints, making the models susceptible to scale and phase shifts; the forecasting models lack adaptability to forecast step sizes, resulting in unstable performance at different forecast scales; and the mathematical structure lacks interpretability, hindering engineering deployment and parameter review.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need in this field for a new power load forecasting method to jointly characterize the complex evolution of regional loads from multiple perspectives and scales, effectively coordinate the common and individual characteristics among loads in multiple regions, and adaptively match the forecasting needs of different time scales. Ultimately, this method can improve forecasting accuracy while enhancing the stability, interpretability, and engineering practical value of the model. Summary of the Invention

It is understood that this invention does not limit the specific entity executing this power load forecasting method based on multi-representation adaptive alignment.

[0033] The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments described below are used to explain the technical solution of this application and are not intended to limit actual use.

[0034] See Figure 1 This invention discloses a power load forecasting method based on multi-representation adaptive alignment, comprising the following steps: S1: Obtain load observation data of multiple sub-regions within the target area over a continuous time interval, and perform preprocessing; Obtain load observation data of the provincial power grid within a continuous time interval to construct a load data tensor: ,in, This indicates the number of load sub-regions under the power grid. Indicates the number of historical observation points. Indicates the first The region in the first The actual load value at each time point.

[0035] right Outlier correction, missing value imputation, and sliding standardization are performed.

[0036] To mitigate the non-stationarity of the load series, a time-location-dependent normalization mapping is introduced, and the following is performed on each load observation data:

[0037] in, Indicates the first The region in time location Local mean in the vicinity, This represents the corresponding local standard deviation. This is the normalized load value. This processing is used to mitigate the impact of long-term drift and scale changes on subsequent modeling.

[0038] S2, constructs temporal representations of the preprocessed data in parallel, and then constructs fused features; S201, Construction of Multi-Representation Temporal Mapping For the same normalized load sequence Three complementary temporal representations are constructed in parallel: (1) Primitive temporal evolution representation Define the time evolution mapping function Projecting continuous-time loads onto a low-dimensional time feature space:

[0039] in, This represents the characteristics of load in the time evolution space, used to reflect the trend and stage-based changes in load over time. As a time feature dimension, This represents the overall temporal evolution characteristics of region r.

[0040] It is a parameterized mapping module whose internal parameters are automatically determined during the system training phase by learning from historical load data, rather than being preset by humans to a fixed function form.

[0041] (2) Characterization of periodic structure Considering that electricity loads generally exhibit repetitive variations such as daily and weekly cycles, a periodic mapping function is introduced to highlight the periodicity and oscillation structure in the load sequence. Mapping the normalized load sequence to the periodic feature space yields:

[0042] in, This characterization represents the load characteristics in the structural correlation space, reflecting the differential change patterns under different regions, time periods, or load composition conditions. This characterization focuses on depicting the repetitive patterns and structural fluctuations of the load at different time scales, and is used to compensate for the shortcomings of simple time evolution characterization in depicting periodic information.

[0043] It is a parameterized mapping module whose internal parameters are automatically determined during the system training phase by learning from historical load data, rather than being preset by humans to a fixed function form.

[0044] (3) Statistical semantic representation To describe load characteristics from an overall behavioral perspective, a statistical descriptive vector is constructed based on a normalized load sequence. This descriptive vector includes statistical information such as load mean, variation amplitude, peak-valley characteristics, and time labels, and is mapped using a statistical semantic mapping function. get:

[0045] in, It is used to provide supplementary characterization of the overall operating status and behavior patterns of the load, making the model more robust when facing abnormal fluctuations or structural changes.

[0046] It is a parameterized mapping module whose internal parameters are automatically determined during the system training phase by learning from historical load data, rather than being preset by humans to a fixed function form.

[0047] It should be noted that the specific implementation forms of the time evolution mapping function, periodic mapping function, and statistical semantic mapping function are not uniquely limited. Their internal mapping structures can be replaced with parameterized mapping structures based on linear mapping, nonlinear mapping, or a combination of both, depending on the characteristics of the load data, to adapt to the differences in load variation trends, periodic characteristics, or statistical distributions in different regions. The periodic structure representation can be replaced with feature representations constructed based on different time scale decomposition methods, such as using multi-scale time windows, hierarchical time period aggregation, or other time structure decomposition methods, to enhance the ability to characterize the load variation patterns of different period lengths.

[0048] S202, Predictive Step Size Aware Adaptive Representation Fusion To address the issue of varying time scale sensitivities across different prediction tasks, a prediction step size is introduced. And construct the step size adjustment coefficient This is used to adaptively adjust the importance of different representations based on the prediction step size, and construct fused features:

[0049] When the prediction step size is short Larger values ​​are chosen to enhance the focus on short-term evolutionary features; when the prediction step size is longer, the weight of periodic structure representation in the fusion result is correspondingly increased to enhance the ability to characterize long-term patterns. In this way, the fusion features can adaptively match the prediction needs of different time scales.

[0050] Preferably, the step size adjustment coefficient can be replaced by an adaptive parameter that is dynamically adjusted according to the prediction task, or updated based on historical prediction error statistics, to further improve the adaptability of the fused features under different prediction step size conditions. The number of alignment channels and the mapping form of each alignment channel can be adjusted according to the application scenario. The multi-channel alignment mapping can be replaced by single-channel alignment, group alignment, or hierarchical alignment to adapt to application scenarios with different regional scales or large differences in regional load correlation.

[0051] S3, Multi-channel adaptive alignment modeling: Using a multi-channel adaptive alignment mechanism, alignment modeling is performed on temporal representations and fused features to obtain aligned features; Because loads in different regions vary in amplitude, rate of change, and phase position, direct fusion may lead to feature mismatch. Therefore, a multi-channel adaptive alignment mechanism is introduced to model the alignment of the fused features:

[0052] in, Indicates the first One of the corresponding channels, Indicates the first An alignment map is used to structurally align load features from different angles. For the first Alignment results for each channel.

[0053] The output of each aligned channel is weighted Perform adaptive combination:

[0054] in Indicates the first The importance weight of each alignment channel in the final alignment result. This indicates alignment features.

[0055] S4, Structural Difference Constraints and Residual Fusion: The fused features and aligned features are residually fused to obtain the modeling features; After completing the alignment modeling, to avoid the loss of individual features in the region due to over-alignment, a structure-preserving residual coefficient is introduced. ∈[0,1], construct the final modeling features used for prediction:

[0056] in, To finally model the feature matrix, Used to control the The degree to which each region retains its original structural features during the fusion process is considered, thus achieving a balance between modeling regional commonalities and preserving individual characteristics.

[0057] It should be noted that the setting method for the structural retention residual coefficient can be replaced by a method that dynamically adjusts it based on the region's historical stability, load fluctuation amplitude, or prediction error feedback, in order to achieve a better balance between maintaining the individual characteristics of the region and enhancing the modeling of the region's common features.

[0058] S5. Input the modeling features into the prediction mapping function to obtain the power load prediction results for each sub-region within the target area.

[0059] The final features obtained in step S4 Input prediction mapping function ( This generates the future load forecast results for the provincial power grid.

[0060] in, This indicates that each region will be in the future Load forecast values ​​within each time step.

[0061] It should be noted that, in the load forecasting output stage, the specific implementation of the forecasting mapping function can be replaced according to the forecasting accuracy and computational resource requirements. For example, parameterized mapping structures of different complexities can be used to meet different application needs such as real-time forecasting or offline analysis. At the system application level, the method and system described in this invention are not only applicable to provincial power grid load forecasting, but can also be extended to municipal load forecasting, regional integrated energy load forecasting, power demand-side analysis, or other energy load forecasting scenarios with time series characteristics.

[0062] See Figure 2 This invention discloses a power load forecasting system based on multi-representation adaptive alignment, comprising a preprocessing module, a feature fusion module, an adaptive alignment module, a residual fusion module, and a forecast output module. The preprocessing module acquires and preprocesses load observation data from multiple sub-regions within a continuous time interval within a target area. The feature fusion module constructs time-series representations in parallel from the preprocessed data, thereby constructing fused features. The adaptive alignment module uses a multi-channel adaptive alignment mechanism to align and model the time-series representations and fused features to obtain aligned features. The residual fusion module performs residual fusion of the fused features and aligned features to obtain modeled features. The forecast output module inputs the modeled features into a forecast mapping function to obtain the power load forecasting results for each sub-region within the target area. This invention improves the accuracy, stability, and engineering deployability of load forecasting under different forecast step sizes and complex operating scenarios by jointly characterizing load evolution patterns in different time feature spaces and introducing structural difference constraints to coordinate the common and individual characteristics of loads between regions.

[0063] Example: This embodiment uses a province as an example to illustrate a power load forecasting method based on multi-representation adaptive alignment, which includes the following implementation steps: (1) Data sources and preprocessing: Historical load data from a provincial power grid over three consecutive years was selected as the implementation data source. The load data sampling interval was 15 minutes, and time stamp information related to load changes was also acquired, including date type and time period identifier. According to the provincial power grid dispatching and statistical standards, the province's load was divided into 10 regional nodes, with each regional node corresponding to a regional load time series.

[0064] In the data preprocessing stage, outliers in the original load data are first corrected, and a small number of missing data are imputed. Then, following the time-dependent normalization method in this invention, time-location-based sliding normalization is performed on the load sequences of each region to eliminate the influence of differences in load scale across different regions and long-term trend drift. After processing, a 10-dimensional multivariate load time-series matrix is ​​constructed, which serves as input data for subsequent multi-representation modeling.

[0065] (2) Model training: Historical load data from the previous two years were selected as training samples. Following the technical solution described in this invention, multi-representation construction, adaptive fusion, and alignment modeling were sequentially completed. The specific implementation process is as follows: 1) Multi-representation construction: Based on the normalized load time series data, time evolution representation, periodic structure representation and statistical semantic representation are constructed respectively to characterize the load characteristics from different perspectives such as the trend characteristics, periodicity and overall behavior patterns of load changes over time.

[0066] 2) Time window and feature dimension settings: The historical input time window length is set to 96 time steps, corresponding to 24 hours of load data, and the unified feature representation dimension is set to 64 to balance the model's expressive power and computational efficiency.

[0067] 3) Prediction step size perception fusion and alignment: For the 24-hour load forecasting task, a prediction step size perception mechanism is introduced to perform weighted fusion of time evolution representation and periodic structure representation. Combined with statistical semantic representation, the differences in amplitude level and change rhythm of load in different regions are reduced through multi-channel adaptive alignment. At the same time, a structure preservation mechanism is introduced during the fusion process to maintain the individual characteristics of load in each region.

[0068] 4) Model parameter learning: During the training process, the mapping parameters are learned through iterative optimization, so that the model gradually converges on the training data until the prediction error stabilizes.

[0069] (3) Prediction results: Historical load data from the third year were selected as test samples to perform rolling forecasts of the provincial power grid's load for the next 24 hours. The prediction results show that, under the same data conditions, the method described in this invention has a significantly lower average prediction error in the 24-hour forecasting task than the traditional linear forecasting method, and exhibits good stability under different regions and load levels.
