Short-term load forecasting
Abstract
This paper discusses the state of the art in short-term load forecasting (STLF), that is, the prediction of the system load over an interval ranging from one hour to one week. The paper reviews the important role of STLF in the on-line scheduling and security functions of an energy management system (EMS). It then discusses the nature of the load and the different factors influencing its behavior. A detailed classification of the types of load modeling and forecasting techniques is presented. Whenever appropriate, the classification is accompanied by recommendations and by references to the literature which support or expand the discussion. The paper also presents a lengthy discussion of practical aspects for the development and usage of STLF models and packages. The annotated bibliography offers a representative selection of the principal publications in the STLF area.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
