Dear all,
I am working on power system load modeling (data-driven load modeling) in MATLAB. I am new to machine learning. Can someone suggest to me how to start the machine learning in MATLAB?
I believe there is a Machine Learning Toolbox for MATLAB. And they most likely have a lot of tutorials.
To learn how to use Machine Learning tools in general, I recommend the Machine Learning Specialization (offered through Coursera). It’s a good introduction, and your application should fit well with the fundamentals.
Your application appears to be a linear regression problem (predicting a real value based on a dataset of previous data).

Hi TMosh,
Thank you for the response. I have started the course in coursera and it is quite interesting. Since my project is time bound, i will be grateful if you have any idea on power system load modeling references in MATLAB.

Hi @Sonam77
as some input: a popular approach for load modelling are Hidden Markov models (HMMs), see also this publication.
For HMMs there are rich libraries in Python or functions in Matlab, incl. viterbi algorithm, see also this link.
Dependent on the characteristics of your load profile (time series prediction or just aggregated load cycle) different approaches might be possible and useful.
Hope that helps!
Best regards
Christian
