The Use of Smart Meter Data to Forecast Electricity Demand
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past years, smart meters have been widely deployed in many countries. These devices replace conventional electrical meters and are able to provide measurements for time intervals of typically less than one hour and can send these to the utility. This technology provides utilities a large amount of data and the opportunity to use this data to improve the way they run the grid. We want to explore some of the possibilities that this data offers, when combined with machine learning techniques.

Hierarchical Probabilistic Forecasting of Electricity Demand with Smart Meter Data
Electricity smart meters record consumption, on a near real-time basis, at the level of individual commercial and residential properties. From this, a hierarchy can be constructed consisting of time series of demand at the smart meter level, and at various levels of aggregation, such as substations, cities and regions. Forecasts are needed at each level to support the efficient and reliable man...
متن کاملRegularization in Hierarchical Time Series Forecasting with Application to Electricity Smart Meter Data
Accurate electricity demand forecast plays a key role in sustainable power systems. It enables better decision making in the planning of electricity generation and distribution for many use cases. The electricity demand data can often be represented in a hierarchical structure. For example, the electricity consumption of a whole country could be disaggregated by states, cities, and households. ...
