Abstract: It is very important to study the load variation characteristics for improving the short-term load forecasting accuracy. The variation characteristics of the annual maximum load, annual minimum load and typical daily load is analyzed in this paper based on the recent historical load data and meteorological data of Chongqing region. Besides, the interrelationship between the load characteristics and the major influencing factors is studied, and the influencing extent of the major factors on the region’s load and the main influencing time period are analyzed according to Chongqing’s geographic characteristics. The results show that the temperature, rainfall, holidays and festivals have a significant influence on the Chongqing region’s power load at present, which can provide a theoretical basis for studying the short-term load forecasting method and analyzing the smart grid load characteristics.

Key words: electric power load, meteorological factor, correlation, influencing factor, load characteristics
