Abstract:Based on the analysis of power load data in Sichuan power grid,including the load development,structure of electricity loads,annual load characteristic and typical daily load characteristics in summer and winter,the features of load characteristics in Sichuan power grid are summarized,while the prediction methods of load characteristics are studied. The trend method and " heavy light near far" weighted average method are proposed to forecast the load characteristics of 2015 in Sichuan power grid. The results show that the obtained load characteristics are of high credibility,and reflect the future developing trends and features of the load characteristics to a great extent,which will provide a strong basis for the grid planning,production and marketing planning in Sichuan power grid.
