Power load pattern recognition method based on FCM and decision tree

Abstract

Different from the traditional method that classified the load curves by industry, the paper has established a load pattern recognition method through FCM clustering algorithm, ID3 decision tree etc. The correctness of the method is verified by analyzing the load shape indexes, category judgment and mining, clustering evaluation, knowledge interpretation of 239 users' daily load data owned by eight sectors. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
