Zusammenfassung:Typhoons have substantial impacts on power systems and may result in major power outages for distribution network users. Developing prediction models for the number of users going through typhoon power outages is a high priority to support restoration planning. This study proposes a data-driven model to predict the number of distribution network users that may experience power outages when a typhoon passes by. To improve the accuracy of the prediction model, twenty six explanatory variables from meteorological factors, geographical factors and power grid factors are considered. In addition, the authors compared the application effect of five different machine learning regression algorithms, including linear regression, support vector regression, classification and regression tree, gradient boosting decision tree and random forest (RF). It turns out that the RF algorithm shows the best performance. The simulation indicates that the accuracy of the optimal model error within ±30% can reach up to 86%. The proposed method can improve the prediction accuracy through continuous learning on the existing basis. The prediction results can provide efficient guidance for emergency preparedness during typhoon disaster, and can be used as a basis to notify the distribution network users who are likely to lose power.
