The importance of load forecasting has been increasing lately and improving the use of energy resources remains a great challenge. The amount of data collected from Microgrid (MG) systems is growing while systems are becoming more sensitive, depending on small changes in the daily routine. The need for flexible and adaptive models has been increased for dealing with these problems. In this pape...

In this paper, the modelling and design of artificial neural network architecture for load forecasting purposes is investigated. The primary pre-requisite for power system planning is to arrive at realistic estimates of future demand of power, which is known as Load Forecasting. Short Term Load Forecasting (STLF) helps in determining the economic, reliable and secure operating strategies for po...

Electric load forecasting is a key element for management and operation of the electric grid. In this study we introduce ensemble re-forecast methods that take an initial forecast and produce a better prediction by extracting information from the structured errors. The models in the ensemble rely upon the real-time information obtained from load measurements and estimates over a state-wide doma...

The load forecasting is a tool of utmost important for the power industry as it can influence areas like power generation and trading, infrastructure development planning etc. Implementation of the load forecasting tool in the distribution utilities has a wider impact up to the power generation level. The load forecasting has been an area in power systems where the human experts are still perfo...

As an important part of power system planning and the basis of economic operation of power systems, the main work of power load forecasting is to predict the time distribution and spatial distribution of future power loads. The accuracy of load forecasting will directly influence the reliability of the power system. In this paper, a novel short-term Empirical Mode Decomposition-Grey Relational ...

Accurate forecasting tools are essential in the operation of electric power systems, especially in deregulated electricity markets. Electricity price forecasting is necessary for all market participants to optimize their portfolios. In this paper we propose a hybrid method approach for short-term hourly electricity price forecasting. The paper combines statistical techniques for pre-processing ...

Deep learning is increasingly used in short-term load forecasting. However, deep models are difficult to train, and adjusting training hyper-parameters takes time effort. Automated machine (AutoML) can reduce human participation process improve the efficiency of modelling while ensuring accuracy prediction. In this paper, we compare usage three AutoML approaches The experiments on a real-world ...
