This paper introduces the multiple linear
regression, stepwise linear regression, neural network method,
and improves the neural network. Comprehensive analysis of the
current prediction methods, the application principle of a
detailed analysis and comparison of the various prediction
methods advantages and disadvantages. Put forward to improve
short-term load forecasting accuracy is not only attach
importance to the accumulation of historical data, more should
pay attention to choose the right forecasting model, integrated
prediction model is the future development direction of power
load forecasting method.
