Team QUINKAN competed in the GEFCom2017 final match of hierarchical probabilistic load forecasting by adopting the quantile regression method using the R package quantreg. The weather stations were clustered into 11 groups, from which an optimal one was chosen for each load meter using the boosting method. The load meter records were cleaned and/or supplemented by various methods in order to secure robust quantile predictions. The variation in the regression formulas was kept as small as possible by introducing measures for suppressing prediction instability, although special formulas were employed for loading meters that were of an industrial nature. Several procedures were applied to help improve the accuracy, such as the smoothing of season transitions, coarse graining of the relative humidity, the use of load-oriented day-type definition, the averaging of weather data, and outlier removal. 相似文献

The Global Energy Forecasting Competition 2017 (GEFCom2017) attracted more than 300 students and professionals from over 30 countries for solving hierarchical probabilistic load forecasting problems. Of the series of global energy forecasting competitions that have been held, GEFCom2017 is the most challenging one to date: the first one to have a qualifying match, the first one to use hierarchical data with more than two levels, the first one to allow the usage of external data sources, the first one to ask for real-time ex-ante forecasts, and the longest one. This paper introduces the qualifying and final matches of GEFCom2017, summarizes the top-ranked methods, publishes the data used in the competition, and presents several reflections on the competition series and a vision for future energy forecasting competitions. 相似文献

We present a refined parametric model for forecasting electricity demand which performed particularly well in the recent Global Energy Forecasting Competition (GEFCom 2012). We begin by motivating and presenting a simple parametric model, treating the electricity demand as a function of the temperature and day of the data. We then set out a series of refinements of the model, explaining the rationale for each, and using the competition scores to demonstrate that each successive refinement step increases the accuracy of the model’s predictions. These refinements include combining models from multiple weather stations, removing outliers from the historical data, and special treatments of public holidays. 相似文献

Low visibility conditions affect safety and traffic operations, leading to adverse scenarios that often result in serious accidents. Due to the complexity and variability associated with modeling weather variables, visibility forecasting remains a highly challenging task and a matter of significant interest for transportation agencies nationwide. Given that the literature on single-step visibility forecasting is very scarce, this study explores the use of deep learning models for single-step visibility forecasting using time series climatological data. Five different deep learning models were developed, trained, and tested using data from two weather stations located in the US state of Florida, which is one of the top states nationwide dealing with low visibility problems. The authors provide discussions of the models’ results and areas for future research. 相似文献

Since temperature variables are used in many load forecasting models, the quality of historical temperature data is crucial to the forecast accuracy. The raw data collected by local weather stations and archived by government agencies often include many missing values and incorrect readings, and thus cannot be used directly by load forecasters. As a result, many power companies today purchase data from commercial weather service vendors. Such quality-controlled data may still have many defects, but many load forecasters have been using them in full faith. This paper proposes a novel temperature anomaly detection methodology that makes use of the local load information collected by power companies. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through two public datasets: one from the Global Energy Forecasting Competition 2014 and the other from ISO New England. The results show that the accuracy of the final load forecasts can be enhanced by removing the detected observations from the original input data. 相似文献

This report describes the forecasting model which was developed by team “4C” for the global energy forecasting competition 2017 (GEFCom2017), with some modifications added afterwards to improve its accuracy. The model is based on neural networks. Temperature scenarios obtained from historical data are used as inputs to the neural networks in order to create load scenarios, and these load scenarios are then transformed into quantiles. By using a feature selection approach that is based on a stepwise regression technique, a neural network based model is developed for each zone. Furthermore, a dynamic choice of the temperature scenarios is suggested. The feature selection and dynamic choice of the temperature scenarios can improve the quantile scores considerably, resulting in very accurate forecasts among the top teams. 相似文献

This paper describes the methods used by Team Cassandra, a joint effort between IBM Research Australia and the University of Melbourne, in the GEFCom2017 load forecasting competition. An important first phase in the forecasting effort involved a deep exploration of the underlying dataset. Several data visualisation techniques were applied to help us better understand the nature and size of gaps, outliers, the relationships between different entities in the dataset, and the relevance of custom date ranges. Improved, cleaned data were then used to train multiple probabilistic forecasting models. These included a number of standard and well-known approaches, as well as a neural-network based quantile forecast model that was developed specifically for this dataset. Finally, model selection and forecast combination were used to choose a custom forecasting model for every entity in the dataset. 相似文献

We present a simple quantile regression-based forecasting method that was applied in the probabilistic load forecasting framework of the Global Energy Forecasting Competition 2017 (GEFCom2017). The hourly load data are log transformed and split into a long-term trend component and a remainder term. The key forecasting element is the quantile regression approach for the remainder term, which takes into account both weekly and annual seasonalities, such as their interactions. Temperature information is used only for stabilizing the forecast of the long-term trend component. Information on public holidays is ignored. However, the forecasting method still placed second in the open data track and fourth in the definite data track, which is remarkable given the simplicity of the model. The method also outperforms the Vanilla benchmark consistently. 相似文献

We present an ensembling approach to medium-term probabilistic load forecasting which ranked second out of 73 competitors in the defined data track of the GEFCom2017 qualifying match. In addition to being accurate, the ensemble method is highly scalable, due to the fact that it had to be applied to nine quantiles in ten zones and for six rounds. Candidate forecasts were generated using random settings for input data, covariates, and learning algorithms. The best candidate forecasts were averaged to create the final forecast, with the number of candidate forecasts being chosen based on their accuracy in similar validation periods. 相似文献

Electric load forecasting is a crucial part of business operations in the energy industry. Various load forecasting methods and techniques have been proposed and tested. With growing concerns about cybersecurity and malicious data manipulations, an emerging topic is to develop robust load forecasting models. In this paper, we propose a robust support vector regression (SVR) model to forecast the electricity demand under data integrity attacks. We first introduce a weight function to calculate the relative importance of each observation in the load history. We then construct a weighted quadratic surface SVR model. Some theoretical properties of the proposed model are derived. Extensive computational experiments are based on the publicly available data from Global Energy Forecasting Competition 2012 and ISO New England. To imitate data integrity attacks, we have deliberately increased or decreased the historical load data. Finally, the computational results demonstrate better accuracy of the proposed robust model over other recently proposed robust models in the load forecasting literature. 相似文献

When forecasting time series in a hierarchical configuration, it is necessary to ensure that the forecasts reconcile at all levels. The 2017 Global Energy Forecasting Competition (GEFCom2017) focused on addressing this topic. Quantile forecasts for eight zones and two aggregated zones in New England were required for every hour of a future month. This paper presents a new methodology for forecasting quantiles in a hierarchy which outperforms a commonly-used benchmark model. A simulation-based approach was used to generate demand forecasts. Adjustments were made to each of the demand simulations to ensure that all zonal forecasts reconciled appropriately, and a weighted reconciliation approach was implemented to ensure that the bottom-level zonal forecasts summed correctly to the aggregated zonal forecasts. We show that reconciling in this manner improves the forecast accuracy. A discussion of the results and modelling performances is presented, and brief reviews of hierarchical time series forecasting and gradient boosting are also included. 相似文献

The agricultural futures prices are generally considered difficult to forecast because the causes of fluctuations are incredibly complicated. We propose a text-based forecasting framework, which can effectively identify and quantify factors affecting agricultural futures based on massive online news headlines. A comprehensive list of influential factors can be formed using a text mining method called topic modeling. A new sentiment-analysis-based way is designed to quantify the factors such as the weather and policies that are important yet difficult to quantify. The proposed framework is empirically tested at forecasting soybean futures prices in the Chinese market. Testing was based on 9715 online news headlines from July 19, 2012 to July 9, 2018. The results show that the identified influential factors and sentiment-based variables are effective, and the proposed framework performs significantly better in medium-term and long-term forecasting than the benchmark model. 相似文献
