Least Square Regression Based Integrated Multi-Parameteric
Demand Modeling for Short Term Load Forecasting Keywords: Load Modeling, Short-Term Load Forecasting, Regression Technique, Least Square Error, Load Forecasting Error Mehran University Research Journal of Engineering & Technology Volume 33 , Issue 2 IRFAN AHMED HALEPOTO,MOHAMMAD ASLAM UQAILI,BHAWANI SHANKAR CHOWDHRY Abstract Nowadays, due to power crisis, electricity demand forecasting is deemed an important area for socioeconomic development and proper anticipation of the load forecasting is considered essential step towards efficient power system operation, scheduling and planning. In this paper, we present STLF (Short Term Load Forecasting) using multiple regression techniques (i.e. linear, multiple linear, quadratic and exponential) by considering hour by hour load model based on specific targeted day approach with temperature variant parameter. The proposed work forecasts the future load demand correlation with linear and non-linear parameters (i.e. considering temperature in our case) through different regression approaches. The overall load forecasting error is 2.98% which is very much acceptable. From proposed regression techniques, Quadratic Regression technique performs better compared to than other techniques because it can optimally fit broad range of functions and data sets. The work proposed in this paper, will pave a path to effectively forecast the specific day load with multiple variance factors in a way that optimal accuracy can be maintained |
