Short-Term Load Interval Prediction Using a Deep Belief Network

In load predication, point-based forecasting methods have been widely applied. However, uncertainties arising in load predication bring significant challenges for such methods. This therefore drives the development of new methods amongst which interval predication is one of the most effective. In th...
