Day Type Identification for Algerian Electricity Load using Kohonen Maps
نویسنده
چکیده
Short term electricity demand forecasts are required by power utilities for efficient operation of the power grid. In a competitive market environment, suppliers and large consumers also require short term forecasts in order to estimate their energy requirements in advance. Electricity demand is influenced (among other things) by the day of the week, the time of year and special periods and/or days such as Ramadhan, all of which must be identified prior to modelling. This identification, known as day-type identification, must be included in the modelling stage either by segmenting the data and modelling each day-type separately or by including the day-type as an input. Day-type identification is the main focus of this paper. A Kohonen map is employed to identify the separate day-types in Algerian data. Keywords—Day type identification, electricity Load, Kohonen maps, load forecasting.

Prediction of Electric Load using Kohonen Maps - Application to the Polish Electricity Consumption
The problem of electrical load forecasting presents some particularities, compared to the generic problem of time-series prediction. One of these particularities is that several values (corresponding to one day of consumption) are usually expected as the result of the prediction. In this paper, we propose an original method dividing the problem into three parts: prediction of the daily mean, of...
