Abstract

In this work, we try to solve the problem of day-ahead prediction of electricity demand using an ensemble forecasting model. Based on the Pattern Sequence Similarity (PSF) algorithm, we implemented five forecasting models using different clustering techniques: K-means model (as in original PSF), Self-Organizing Map model, Hierarchical Clustering model, K-medoids model, and Fuzzy C-means model. By incorporating these five models, we then proposed an ensemble model, named Pattern Forecasting Ensemble Model (PFEM), with iterative prediction procedure. We evaluated its performance on three real-world electricity demand datasets and compared it with those of the five forecasting models individually. Experimental results show that PFEM outperforms all those five individual models in terms of Mean Error Relative and Mean Absolute Error.
