Hybrid Regression Model for Load Forecasting
A hybrid regression model based on hybrid empirical mode decomposition and support vector regression with back-propagation neural network is proposed for mid-short-term load forecasting. The model aims to accurately predict electric load data within a few months or weeks by considering nonlinearity and various external factors. Traditional methodologies are compared with artificial intelligent technology like artificial neural networks and support vector machines to improve forecasting accuracy and address complex nonlinear relationships in data.

hybrid EMD and SVR with BPNN for mid-short-term load forecasting Mid-short term electric load forecasting Mid-short-term load refers to electric load data within a few months or weeks, mainly including monthly data. As mentioned in reference, accurate electric load forecasting is conducive to rationally arranging power grid operation modes, and, unit maintenance plans, to reduce the economic costs of operators in the electricity market, i.e., ensure the competitiveness of operators. However, electric load data nonlinearity, they are affected by many external factors, such as climatic conditions, production activities, promotion activities, energy policy, date types, and number of users. often fluctuate and exhibit 2025/3/12 Wei-Chiang Hong Page 4
hybrid EMD and SVR with BPNN for mid-short-term load forecasting The role of artificial intelligent (AI) technology in forecasting Traditional methodologies of electric load forecasting include time series methods: autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), exponential smoothing models, regression models, and Kalman filter models. The theoretical developments of these traditional methods are mature, but it can be difficult to find the optimal solution when dealing with large amounts of data and complex nonlinear relationships between data. AI-based forecasting models, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machine (SVM), and fuzzy inference method, overcome the shortcomings of traditional forecasting models and can conduct nonlinear mapping relationships among variables to obtain the optimal solution of the forecasting models. 2025/3/12 Wei-Chiang Hong Page 5
hybrid EMD and SVR with BPNN for mid-short-term load forecasting The proposed hybrid model (hybridizing AI with traditional models) Recently, many novel electric load forecasting models have been proposed to achieve more accurate performance, such as hybrid model. This paper proposes a hybrid model by hybridizing empirical model decomposition (EMD) method with support vector regression (SVR) and back-propagation neural network (BPNN) to improve the performance of electric load forecasting. empirical model decomposition (EMD) method stands as a pre-processing tool to decompose the time series into several sub-sequences with simple (singular) tendency. put each decomposed sub-sequences into SVR and BPNN to separately obtain forecasting values. add these forecasted values to receive the final forecasting values. 2025/3/12 Wei-Chiang Hong Page 6

hybrid EMD and SVR with BPNN for mid-short-term load forecasting Those used methods (for more details please refer published paper) EMD Step 1. Recognize. Recognize all maxima and minima of the data set x(t). Step 2. Mean envelopes. Use two cubic spline functions to connect all maxima and minima of the data set x(t), to fit the upper envelope and lower envelope, respectively. Then, calculate the mean envelope, m1, by taking the average value of the upper envelope and the lower envelope. Step 3. Decomposing. Produce the first IMF candidate, c1, by taking the data set x(t) subtract m1, as illustrated in Equation (1): Step 4. IMF Identify Step 5. IMF composition 2025/3/12 Wei-Chiang Hong Page 8
