Multivariate electricity consumption series clustering can reflect the trend of power consumption changes in the past time period, which can provide reliable guidance for electricity production. The dimensionality reduction-based method is an effective technology to address this problem, which obtains the low-dimensional features of each variate or all variates for multivariate time series clustering. However, most existing dimensionality reduction-based methods ignore the joint learning of the common representations and the variable-based representations. In this paper, we build a multivariate extreme learning machine based autoencoder model for electricity consumption clustering (MELM-EC), which performs common representation learning and variable-based representation learning simultaneously. MELM-EC maps the common representation and multiple variable-based representations to the original multivariate time series and computes the common output weights within a few iterations. Experimental results on realistic multivariate time series datasets and multivariate electricity consumption series datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MELM-EC model.
