Short-Term Load Forecasting Method Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning for Smart Grid

Abstract

Short-term load forecasting is an important part to support the planning and operation of power grid, but the current load forecasting methods have the problem of poor adaptive ability of model parameters, which are difficult to ensure the demand for efficient and accurate power grid load forecasting. To solve this problem, a short-term load forecasting method for smart grid is proposed based on multilayer network model. This method uses the integrated empirical mode decomposition (IEMD) method to realize the orderly and reliable load state data and provides high-quality data support for the prediction network model. The enhanced network inception module is used to adaptively adjust the parameters of the deep neural network (DNN) prediction model to improve the fitting and tracking ability of the prediction network. At the same time, the introduction of hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm further enhances the dynamic optimization ability of deep reinforcement learning model parameters and can realize the accurate prediction of short-term load of smart grid. The simulation results show that the mean absolute percentage error e MAPE and root-mean-square error e RMSE of the performance indexes of the prediction model are 10.01% and 2.156 MW, respectively, showing excellent curve fitting ability and load forecasting ability.
