In view of the fact that the potential high-dimensional features in the historical sequence are difficult to be effectively extracted by traditional power load forecasting methods and the coupling factors of electricity, heat, and gas have not been considered, the correlation of electric heating and gas load is considered in this paper, and a short-term power load forecasting method for integrated energy systems based on Attention-CNN- (Convolutional Neural Network-) DBILSTM (Deep Bidirectional Long-Short-Term Memory) is proposed. First, the correlation between the multiple load influencing factors is considered, and the Pearson coefficient is used to quantitatively calculate the correlation between the multiple loads. Second, a CNN network consisting of a one-dimensional convolutional layer and a pooling layer is established. High-dimensional features reflecting the dynamic changes of the load are extracted, and the proposed feature vector is constructed in the form of time series as the input of the DBILSTM network; the dynamic change law of time series data is modeled and learned. Then, the Attention mechanism is introduced to assign different weights to the hidden state of DBILSTM through the mapping weight and the learning parameter matrix, to reduce the loss of historical information and strengthen the impact of key information, and the Dense layer is used to output the load prediction results. Finally, the influence of the correlation of multiple loads and its influencing factors on the power load forecasting results is analyzed, based on the historical load data of the integrated energy system in a certain area of Northeast China. The simulation results of the calculation example show that the prediction accuracy of the method reaches 97.99%, and the integrated energy system electric, heat, and gas load correlation coefficients as the input parameters of the Attention-CNN-DBILSTM network can reduce the average prediction error by 0.37%∼1.93%. The proposed method has been verified to effectively improve the prediction accuracy by comparison with the prediction model results of CNN-LSTM network, CNN-BILSTM network, and CNN-DBILSTM network.
