In recent years, wide installation of smart meters and implementation of Smart Meter Management System (SMMS) provides data foundation for short-term load forecasting. In this paper, a new load forecasting approach is proposed based on big data technologies using smart meter data. The new approach analyzes the characteristics of numerous electricity users, which helps system operators identify influencing factors. Big data architecture can handle large amount of data and computation efforts. Compared with the traditional system load forecasting methods, this new approach produces better prediction accuracy.
