Description
Summary:Accurate power load forecasting helps reduce energy waste and improve grid stability. This paper proposes a hybrid forecasting model, BiStacking+TCN-GRU, which leverages both ensemble learning and deep learning techniques. The model first applies the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) to select features highly correlated with the power load. Then, BiStacking is used for preliminary predictions, followed by a temporal convolutional network (TCN) enhanced by a gated recurrent unit (GRU) to produce the final predictions. The experimental validation based on Panama's 2020 electricity load data demonstrated the effectiveness of the model, with the model achieving an RMSE of 29.1213 and an MAE of 22.5206, respectively, with an R² of 0.9719. These results highlight the model's superior performance in short-term load forecasting, demonstrating its strong practical applicability and theoretical contributions.
