Abstract

With the continuous transition of the traditional power system to the new
power system, the composition of the power generation side in the power
system has gradually begun to be dominated by renewable energy (at least
more than 50%). Among the renewable energy sources, wind power is the
most susceptible to weather and environmental influences. These factors
increase the complexity of the power generation mode, and put forward
higher requirements for the accuracy and stability of load forecasting. This
paper proposes a medium-term renewable energy load forecasting method
based on an improved deep belief network (IDBN-NN). The method includes
the construction of a deep belief network, the layer-by-layer pre-training
and fine-tuning of model parameters, and the application of the model.
In the process of model parameter pre-training, Gauss-Bernoulli Restricted
Boltzmann Machine (GB-RBM) is used as the first part of the stacked deep
belief network, so that it can process multiple types of real-valued input data more effectively. In addition, IDBN-NN uses a combination of unsupervised
training and supervised training for pre-training. Finally, the actual load data
is used to analyze the calculation example. When the number of RBM layers
is 3, the number of fully connected layers is 1, and Dropout is equal to
0.2, the MSE and loss values are optimal, which are 0.0037 and 0.0104,
respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed method has
higher prediction accuracy when the training sample is large and the load
influencing factors are complex.
