Aimed at the problem that the traditional neural network has low prediction accuracy and long prediction time in short-term load prediction,a short-term load prediction model based on principal component analysis(PCA)and deep bi-directional long-short-term memory(DBILSTM)neural network is proposed.This model uses PCA to ex⁃tract the principal components of the time series that consists of the original multi-dimensional input variables,thus achieving the dimensionality reduction of the original load.Then,the DBILSTM network is combined with the...
