Abstract: The accurate prediction of electricity-heat-cooling-gas loads on the demand side in the integrated energy system (IES) can provide significant reference for multiple energy planning and stable operation of the IES. This paper combines the multi-task learning (MTL) method, the Bootstrap method, the improved Salp Swarm Algorithm (ISSA) and the multi-kernel extreme learning machine (MKELM) method to establish the uncertain interval prediction model of electricity-heat-cooling-gas loads. The ISSA introduces the dynamic inertia weight and chaotic local searching mechanism into the basic SSA to improve the searching speed and avoid falling into local optimum. The MKELM model is established by combining the RBF kernel function and the Poly kernel function to integrate the superior learning ability and generalization ability of the two functions. Based on the established model, weather, calendar information, social–economic factors, and historical load are selected as the input variables. Through empirical analysis and comparison discussion, we can obtain: (1) the prediction results of workday are better than those on holiday. (2) The Bootstrap-ISSA-MKELM based on the MTL method has superior performance than that based on the STL method. (3) Through comparing discussion, we discover the established uncertain interval prediction model has the superior performance in combined electricity-heat-cooling-gas loads prediction.
