Application of SVM and wavelet neural network method for short-term power load forecasting

This paper put forward a new method of the SVM and wavelet neural network model for short-term load forecasting. The neural call function is basis of nonlinear wavelets. We overcome the shortcoming of single train set of SVM. It can be seen from the example this method can improve effectively the forecast accuracy and speed. The forecast model was tested and the result showed that it was an effective way to forecast short-term electric load.
