“…In thermoelectric load forecasting, classical methods include regression analysis (Qing et al, 2013), time series methods, mathematical and statistical methods such as Kalman filtering (Dong et al, 2015). Machine learning was gradually introduced into short-term load forecasting (Greff et al, 2016;Geysen et al, 2018), such as expert systems (Chen et al, 1991), fuzzy forecasting (Jović, 2021), wavelet analysis (Kumbinarasaiah et al, 2023), chaos theory (Al-Shammari et al, 2016), support vector machines (Kuzishchin and Ismatkhodzhaev, 2020;Razzak et al, 2020), cluster analysis models (Liu et al, 2020) and artificial neural networks (Mao et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2022a;Wang et al, 2022b;Yang et al, 2022).…”
