description To tackle the challenges of limited accuracy and poor generalization in short-term load forecasting under complex nonlinear conditions, this study introduces a Prophet–BO–XGBoost-based forecasting framework. This approach employs the XGBoost model to interpret the nonlinear relationships between features and loads and integrates the Prophet model for label prediction from a time-series viewpoint. Given that hyperparameters substantially impact XGBoost’s performance, this study leverages Bayesian optimization (BO) to refine these parameters. Using a Gaussian process-based surrogate model and an acquisition function aimed at expected improvement, this framework optimizes hyperparameter settings to enhance model adaptability and precision. Through a regional case study, this method demonstrated improved predictive accuracy and operational efficiency, highlighting its advantages in both runtime and performance.
