Abstract: The human body amenity indicator was introduced to make a comprehensive analysis of the influence of the meteorological factors on power load, and three main influence factors, including week type, daily weather type and date difference, were added to constitute the daily feature vector. By using the method for calculating the similarity degree to select similar days, the PSO-SVM forecasting model was built up with the daily feature vector and load data of the similar days. An forecasting analysis of the EUNITE load prediction competition data in 2001 shows that this method has a good adaptability, and can easily select the suitable similar days, and has a high prediction accuracy and good potential for promotion.

Key words: human body amenity indicator, daily feature vector, similar days, SVM, short-term load forecast
