In order to improve the quality of the power load curves similarity measurement, a new similarity measurement method based on Euclidean distance is proposed in this paper. Among the commonly used similarity measurement methods, Euclidean distance is not sensitive to the fluctuation of the load curves, which results in the lack of shape measurement capability. For the numerical distribution on the timeline is not concerned, the dynamic time warping (DTW) distance is not accord with the requirement of the power system load analysis. Focus on those issues, the proposed method introduced a correction factor that contains the dynamic characteristics of the numerical difference between two power load curves without compromising time warping. The advantages and performance of the proposed method are evaluated by similarity computing and clustering analysis. It shows that the proposed method has higher tracking accuracy compared with Euclidean distance and faster calculating speed compared with DTW distance.
