Load Forecasting

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Power Electronics and Power Systems ((PEPS))

Abstract

Load forecasting is vitally important for the electric industry in the deregulated economy. It has many applications including energy purchasing and generation, load switching, contract evaluation, and infrastructure development. A large variety of mathematical methods have been developed for load forecasting. In this chapter we discuss various approaches to load forecasting.
