Research on short-term forecasting of power load based on big data BP neural network

The power network system is an indispensable part of the economy development, which directly affects the stable operation of various industries and people’s daily life. During the stable operation of the power system, the prediction of the power load plays an important role in the load scheduling of the power system. Aiming at the problem of short-term load forecasting of power system, this paper established a short-term forecasting model of power load based on the BP neural network forecasting model through the collection of big data and modified the network weights and thresholds through model training. Finally, a short-term prediction of the power load of a certain community was carried out. The results show that the prediction model based on BP neural network can accurately predict the short-term power load with small prediction errors and good prediction performance. It can meet the precision requirements of power system operation scheduling.
