About this Course This 5 full-day course presents the most modern statistical and mathematical forecasting frameworks used by practitioners to tackle the load forecasting problem across short time and long time scales. The course presents practical applications to solving forecasting challenges, supported by real life examples from large control areas. It presents the weather impacts on the load forecasts and the methodologies employed to quantify the weather effect and building a repository of weather normal data. A good load forecast methodology must improve its forecasting accuracy and support a consistent load forecasting process. The load forecasting widely used in the power industry has evolved significantly with the advancement and adoption of Artificial Intelligence techniques such as Machine Learning. With the increased penetration of inverter-based resources, the operation of electric grids grew in complexity, leading to load forecasts that are updated more frequently than once a day. Furthermore, several jurisdictions adopted a smaller granularity than the hourly load forecasts in the effort to reduce the forecasting uncertainties. On the generation side, fuel forecasting professionals must meet energy requirements while making allowance for the uncertainty on both the demand and the supply side. This training course will also feature a guest speaker, who is a Ph.D candidate to provide insights into the most modern aspects of Artificial Intelligence in the context of load forecasting. Training Objectives This course offers a comprehensive approach to all aspects of load forecasting: Gain a perspective of load forecasting from both operators in the generating plant and system operators. Understand and review the advanced load forecasting concepts and forecasting methodologies Learn the application of Artificial Neural Networks and Probabilistic Forecasting methods to manage forecasting uncertainties in short time frames Appreciate market segmentation and econometric framework for long term forecasts Find out the most recent practical application of load forecasting as examples from large power companies Get access to recent industry reports and developments Target Audience Energy load forecasting professionals from power plant and system operators Energy planners and energy outlook forecasters and plant operators Fuel procurement professionals Planners and schedulers of thermal generating units Course Level Intermediate Trainer Your expert course instructor is a Utility Executive with extensive global experience in power system operation and planning, energy markets, enterprise risk and regulatory oversight.
