Hourly cooling load forecasting using time-indexed ARX models with two-stage weighted least squares regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a robust hourly cooling-load forecasting method based on time-indexed autoregressive with exogenous inputs (ARX) models, in which the coefficients are estimated through a two-stage weighted least squares regression. The prediction method includes a combination of two separate time-indexed ARX models to improve prediction accuracy of the cooling load over different forecasting periods. The two-stage weighted least-squares regression approach in this study is robust to outliers and suitable for fast and adaptive coefficient estimation. The proposed method is tested on a large-scale central cooling system in an academic institution. The numerical case studies show the proposed prediction method performs better than some ANN and ARX forecasting models for the given test data set. 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Composite Modeling for Adaptive Short-term Load Forecasting
Composite load model is developed for 1-24 hours ahead prediction of hourly electric loads. The load model is composed of three components : the nominal load, the type load and the residual load. The nominal load is modeled such that the Kalman filter can be used and the parameters of the model are adapted by the exponentially weighted recursive least squares method. The type load component is ...
