  5. Introduction • The electrical load increases about 3-7% per year for many years. • The long term load increase depends on the population growth, local area development, industrial expansion e.t.c. • The short term load variation depends on weather, local events, type of day (Weekday or Holiday or Weekend) e.t.c. Short-term load forecasting

  6. Introduction • The building of a power plant requires: • 10 years (Nuclear) • 6 years (Large coal-fired) • 3 years (combustion turbine) • The electric system planing needs the forecast of the load for several years. • Typically the long term forecast covers a period of 20 years Short-term load forecasting

  7. Introduction • The planning of maintenance, scheduling of the fuel supply etc. calls for medium term load forecast . • The medium term load forecast covers a period of a few weeks. • It provides the peak load and the daily energy requirement Short-term load forecasting

  8. Introduction • The number of generators in operation, the start up of a new unit depends on the load. • The day to day operation of the system requires accurate short term load forecasting. Short-term load forecasting

  9. Introduction • Typically the short term load forecast covers a period of one week • The forecast calculates the estimated load for each hours of the day (MW). • The daily peak load. (MW) • The daily or weekly energy generation. (MWh) Short-term load forecasting

  10. Introduction • The utilities use three types of load forecasting: • Long term (e.g. 20 years) • Medium term. (e.g. 3-8 weeks) • Short term (e.g. one week) • This lecture presents the short term load forecasting techniques Short-term load forecasting

  11.

Importance of Short-term Load Forecasting • Provide load data to the dispatchers for economic and reliable operation of the local power system. • The timeliness and accuracy of the data affects the cost of operation. • Example: The increase of accuracy of the forecast by 1% reduced the operating cost by L 10M in the British Power system in 1985 Short-term load forecasting

  16. Importance of Short-term Load Forecasting • The forecasted data are used for: • Unit commitment. • selection of generators in operation, • start up/shut down of generation to minimize operation cost • Hydro scheduling to optimize water release from reservoirs • Hydro-thermal coordination to determine the least cost operation mode (optimum mix) Short-term load forecasting

  19. Impute Data and System Parameters for Load Forecasting • The system load is the sum of individual load. • The usage of electricity by individuals is unpredictable and varies randomly. • The system load has two components: • Base component • Randomly variable component Short-term load forecasting

  22. Impute Data and System Parameters for Load Forecasting • The time constraints of economical or environmental factors are slow, measured in years. • This factors explains the regional variation of the load model (New York vs. Kansas) • The load model depends on these slow changing factors and has to be updated periodically Short-term load forecasting

  23. Impute Data and System Parameters for Load Forecasting Time Factors affecting the load • Seasonal variation of load (summer, winter etc.). The load change is due to: • Change of number of daylight hours • Gradual change of average temperature • Start of school year, vacation • Calls for a different model for each season Short-term load forecasting
