abstract forecasting electrical energy demand and consumption is one of the important decision-making tools in distributing companies for making contracts scheduling and purchasing electrical energy. this paper studies load consumption modeling in hamedan city province distribution network by applying esn neural network. weather forecasting data such as minimum day temperature, average day temp...

Load forecasting is essential for planning and operation in energy management. It enhances the Energy efficient and reliable operation of a power system. The energy supplied by utilities meets the load plus the energy lost in the system is ensured by this tool. Since in power system the next day’s power generation must be scheduled every day. The dayahead short term load forecasting (STLF) is a...

Load Forecasting plays a key role in making today's and future's Smart Energy Grids sustainable and reliable. Accurate power consumption prediction allows utilities to organize in advance their resources or to execute Demand Response strategies more effectively, which enables several features such as higher sustainability, better quality of service, and affordable electricity tariffs. It is eas...

Fuzzy Load forecasting plays a paramount role in the operation and management of power systems. Accurate estimation of future power demands for various lead times facilitates the task of generating power reliably and economically. The forecasting of future loads for a relatively large lead time (months to few years) is studied here (long term load forecasting). Among the various techniques used...

This paper proposes a novel neural model to the problem of short-term load forecasting. The neural model is made up of two self-organizing map nets — one on top of the other. It has been successfully applied to domains in which the context information given by former events plays a primary role. The model was trained and assessed on load data extracted from a Brazilian electric utility. It was ...

This paper presents a novel hybrid method for short-term load forecasting. The system comprises of two artificial neural networks (ANN), assembled in a hierarchical order. The first ANN is a multilayer perceptron (MLP) which functions as integrated load predictor (ILP) for the forecasting day. The output of the ILP is then fed to another, more complex MLP, which acts as an hourly load predictor...

Short term load forecasting (STLF) plays an important role in the economic and reliable operation ofpower systems. Electric load demand has a complex profile with many multivariable and nonlineardependencies. In this study, recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture is presented for STLF. Theproposed model is capable of forecasting next 24-hour load profile. The main feature in this networkis ...

Knowing that electrical load is a non storable resource; short term electric load forecasting becomes an important tool to optimise dispatching of electrical load in regular system planning. Several techniques have been used to accomplish this task, from traditional linear regression and BoxJenkins to artificial intelligence approaches such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). This work present...

The quality of short term load forecasting can improve the efficiency of planning and operation of electric utilities. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are employed for nonlinear short term load forecasting owing to their powerful nonlinear mapping capabilities. At present, there is no systematic methodology for optimal design and training of an artificial neural network. One has often to reso...

Load forecasting allows for the utilities to plan their operations to serve their customers with more reliable and economical electric power. With the developments in computer and information technology new techniques to accurately forecast power system loading are emerging. This research culminates in development of modified algorithms for short-term load forecasting (STLF) of a utility grade ...
