ABSTRACT: The load forecasting of mid-long term power system has diversity, complexity and many uncertainties, which is a typical nonlinear system. In this paper, multiple linear regression analysis method will be used to select factors from all of the relevant factors, which can optimize the network structure, and reduce the input space dimensions of the combination forecasting. Then the combination forecasting model is used for forecasting, which is based on the RBF neural network and support vector machine. The empirical results show that the forecasting accuracy is higher after screening factors, and the forecasting accuracy of combination forecasting model is higher than the single forecasting models’ whether the factors are screened or not, which verifies the validity of the model.
