“…However, it is difficult to improve the prediction accuracy of STLF due to the nonlinear and random-like behaviors of system load, weather conditions, variations of social and economic environments, and so on [2]. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of load forecasting model, various STLF methods have been introduced in the past years, including artificial neural network (ANN) [3], grey Bernoulli model [4], wavelet transform combined with neuroevolutionary algorithm [5], radial basis function (RBF) [6], particle swarm optimization [7], support vector regression (SVR) [8], combining sister forecasts [9], ensemble Kalman filter [10], combined model [11], and hybrid methods [12,13].…”
