Application of association rules mining in power demand-side management based on rough set

Appling association rule mining to power demand-side management can supply references to optimizing decision-making project. The paper introduces the principle of using rough set in evaluation of DSM implementation. First, relevant attributes are simplified by rough set theory. And then, association computation rules based on rough set are constructed to reduce the scale of the decision table. Giving an example, it explains how power market behavior characters affect implementation of DSM projects.
