Abstract
Accurate forecasting of an electric load is vital in the effective management of a power system, especially in flourishing regions. A new hybrid model called logarithmic spiral firefly algorithm-support vector regression (LS-FA-SVR) is proposed to promote the performance of electric load forecasting. The new hybrid model is acquired by combining the support vector regression, firefly algorithm, and logarithmic spiral. Half-hourly electric load from five main regions (NSW, QLD, SA, TAS, and VIC) of Australia are used to train and test the proposed model. By comparing the model results with observed data on the basis of the root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percent error (MAPE), the performance of the proposed hybrid model is the most outstanding among all the considered benchmark models. Hence, the results of this study show that the hybrid model LS-FA-SVR is preferable and can be applied successfully because of its high accuracy.
