Abstract
This study presents short-term electricity load forecasting for the New England area by processing initial data through correlation assessment and data clustering. This method is combined with artificial neural networks to improve accuracy and forecast performance. Data preprocessing focuses on two main issues: identifying correlations between variables to eliminate less relevant factors and retaining highly correlated variables to reduce noise, as well as reducing the data sample size before training the neural network. This evaluation aims to determine the factors that have a significant impact on electricity load. These factors can include previous load values, weather conditions, time, types of electricity usage, and others. This technique ensures that reducing the size in both dimensions of the large dataset does not result in the loss of critical information, maintaining the accuracy of computational programs and the performance of neural network training at high levels. The neural network is trained to classify and cluster data based on previously identified correlated characteristics. As a result, the forecasting model can make more accurate predictions about future electricity loads. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieved more than 97% accuracy, outperforming traditional methods in both speed and load forecasting accuracy. The new dataset had 63% fewer samples compared to the initial dataset.
