When One Size No Longer Fits All – Electric Load Forecasting with a Geographic Hierarchy
SAS
With the deployment of smart grid technologies, many utilities can now take advantage of hourly or sub-hourly data from millions of smart meters. There are many upsides to this – such as the fact that utilities can potentially charge customers different rates based on the time of day they use electricity. However, there are downsides as well: Many forecasting methodologies are outdated. The days of one-size-fits-all models are gone for the utility forecaster. This paper tackles these considerations through an electric load-forecasting case study. In particular, the paper: Investigates how a number of approaches using geographic hierarchy and weather station […]
Transforming data into intelligence
