Abstract

Load forecasting is considered vital along with many other important entities required for assessing the reliability of power system. Thus, the primary concern is not to forecast load with a novel model, rather to forecast load with the highest accuracy. Short-term load forecast accuracy is often hindered due to various load impacting factors. Two of the major impacting factors are day-ahead weather forecast and subsequent variation in electricity demand that is independent of weather. To tackle the uncertainty in short-term load forecasting, this paper presents a neural network-based load forecasting technique for short-term horizon based on data corresponding to a U.S. independent system operator. With the real life data, a better understanding of forecasting error is carried out while further identifying the time periods when the load is supposedly to be over- or under-forecast.
