Abstruct-This paper presents a Least Squares Sulpport Vector Machines (LS-SVM) approach to short-term electric load forecasting (STLF). The proposed algorithm is more robust and reliable as compared to the traditional approach when actual loads are forecasted and used as input vanabbes. In order to provide the forecasted load, the LS-SVM interpolates among the load and temperature data in a training dat;a set. Analysis of the experimental results proved that this approach can achieve greater forecasting accuracy than the tradilional model.
