Analysis and evaluation of two short-term load forecasting techniques

Short-term load forecasting (STLF) is very important for an efficient operation of the power system because the exact and stable load forecasting brings good results to the power system. This manuscript presents the application of two new models in STLF i.e. Cross multi-models and second decision mechanism and Residential load forecasting in smart grid using deep neural network models. In the cross multi-model and second decision mechanism method, the horizontal and longitudinal load characteristics are useful for the construction of the model with the calculation of the total load. The dataset for this model is considered from Maine in New England, Singapore, and New South Wales of Australia. While, In the residential load forecasting method, the Spatio-temporal correlation technique is used for the construction of the iterative ResBlock and deep neural network which helps to give the characteristics of residential load with the use of a publicly available Redd dataset. The performances of the proposed models are calculated by the Root Mean Square Error, Mean Absolute Error, and Mean Absolute Percentage Error. From the simulation results, it is concluded that the performance of cross multi-model and second decision mechanism is good as compare to the residential load forecasting.
