Electricity Demand Forecasting of Hospital Buildings in Istanbul

Electricity demand forecasting is essential for utilities. For the consumer, predictability of vital efficient operation, installation, sizing and maintenance planning. Hospitals, which are among institutions with high-energy consumption, provide uninterrupted service 24 h a day, 7 days week. Every hospital building unique, many do not conform to typical shape or floor plan. Depending on services provided, each can differ significantly in terms energy demand. Therefore, one most complex elements construction. Although there studies optimization related buildings literature, knowledge gap regarding maximum power estimation hospitals. In this study, annual electrical use 23 public hospitals over 100 beds Istanbul measured, after determining monthly peak loads, two new models generated using regression techniques forecasting. It determined that design criteria used calculations was very high. A positive result obtained from linear technique, basic techniques, it shown needs be estimated great confidence by factor light values. This study allows designers set demands select transformer generator sizes single formula.
