[Abstract] Aiming at the low accuracy problem of power system short⁃term load forecasting by traditional methods, a back⁃propagation artificial neural network (BP⁃ANN) based method for short⁃term load forecasting is presented in this paper. The forecast points are related to prophase adjacent data as well as the periodical long⁃term historical load data. Then the short⁃term load forecasting model of Shanxi Power Grid (China) based on BP⁃ANN method and correlation analysis is established. The simulation model matches well with practical power system load, indicating the BP⁃ANN method is simple and with higher precision and practicality.
