Abstract
Some of the decision and control functions discussed in this book require knowledge of future load behavior. In unit commitment, for example, hourly system loads for the next 24–72 hours are required. Some unit commitment programs even require knowledge of future loads for the next week, i.e., 168 hours. At the other extreme, although present forms of AGC do not utilize any forms of forecasting, some convincing research has shown that knowledge of load trends in the next few minutes can help in designing better AGC control strategies. In security assessment, future knowledge of all bus loads for the next 1–24 hours can be used to check for those periods of potential system vulnerability and to plan maintenance outages for lines, transformers, and generators. Table 9.1 provides a summary of existing and potential uses of short-term load forecasting.
