Research on short-term power load forecasting based on deep reinforcement learning with multiple intelligences by Tianyun Luo, Dunlin Zhu, Jinming Liu, Sheng Yang, Jinglong He, Yuan Fu

“…Therefore, to realize accurate and efficient prediction of short-term power loads, a short-term power load prediction method based on multi-intelligence deep reinforcement learning is proposed to address the complex nonlinear characteristics of load data. In this paper, we analyze the multi-intelligence application architecture in power load forecasting, and analyze the function of each intelligent unit applied to short-term power load forecasting; based on clarifying the interaction relationship of each intelligent unit in short-term power load forecasting, we model short-term power load forecasting as a distributed and partially observable Markov decision-making process, which is suitable for multi-intelligence deep reinforcement learning; based on the MATD3 algorithm, a centralized training-distributed execution framework is used to train multiple intelligences within the model to achieve short-term power load forecasting. …”
