UniLF: A novel short-term load forecasting model uniformly considering various features from multivariate load data by Shiyang Zhou, Qingyong Zhang, Peng Xiao, Bingrong Xu, Geshuai Luo

“…To address the above problems, we design a novel STLF model called UniLF based on Transformer framework, which contains the proposed convolutional enhancement-fusion embedding method to capture the correlations between load and covariates for embedding, the proposed feature reconstruction-decomposition block to distill multiscale features as well as more detailed local-global variations from 2D space and the core mask-guided multiscale interactive self-attention mechanism to further realize the enhanced interactions of scale features and temporal features. Experiments conducted on three load datasets from Australia, Panama and Austria show that UniLF achieves superior forecasting accuracy with competitive practical efficiency under different prediction lengths, providing a new solution for STLF.…”
