ABSTRACT:

Load forecasting is a critical planning function performed by electric utilities to ensure the supply of electricity meets demand. The planning begins by forecasting electricity demand five to 30 years in the future, and then narrowing a near-term view of the next hour’s electricity demand. Historical patterns of electricity consumption, weather conditions, regional events and economic indicators represent when and how much electricity is used.

Distributed energy resources, demand swings, and additional regulatory requirements are complicating the load forecasting process. As renewable energy resources increase, the necessity for robust modeling techniques for the load forecasting requirements becomes crucial. Integrating distributed energy resources located within the distribution system—rooftop solar photovoltaic, electric vehicles, demand response—requires the analytics of load forecasting to know when, how much, and where these resources are contributing on the power grid, while also balancing the amount of traditional generating resources to meet demand.

Join us for this seminar to learn how analytics are applied to the many aspects of load forecasting – from short-term to long-term planning horizons, and from traditional load forecasting to integrated distribution planning.
