Abstract: In order to explore the impact of outliers on the monthly power load forecasting performance, a seasonal ARIMA model considering the impact of outliers (regARIMA) is established. The actual monthly power load data series of 5 provinces recorded from January 1999 to December 2017 are used to verify the accuracy of power load forecasting. The empirical results show that the forecasting error of the regARIMA model considering the outliers impact is significantly reduced within samples for last 3 years. The forecasting accuracy of the regARIMA out of samples for 12 steps ahead is also improved to some extent.

Key words: monthly power load, power load forecasting, outliers, regARIMA model
