Energy Demand Forecasting

Time series data for decision problems such as energy demand forecasting are often derived from uncertain assessments, and do not meet any statistical assumptions. The interval grey number becomes an appropriate representation for an uncertain and imprecise observation. In order to obtain nonlinear interval grey numbers with better forecasting accuracy, this study proposes a combined model by fusing interval grey numbers estimated by neural networks (NNs) and the grey prediction models. The proposed model first uses interval regression analysis using NNs to estimate interval grey numbers for a real valued sequence; and then a grey residual modification model is constructed using the upper and lower wrapping sequences obtained by NNs. It turns out that two different kinds of interval grey numbers can be estimated by nonlinear interval regression analysis. Forecasting accuracy on real data sequences was then examined by the best non-fuzzy performance values of the combined model. The proposed combined model performed well compared with the other interval grey prediction models considered.

Purpose Energy demand is an important economic index, and demand forecasting has a significant role when devising energy development plans for cities or countries. GM(1,1) model has become popular because it needs only a few data points to construct a time-series model without statistical assumptions. Several methods have been developed to improve prediction accuracy of the original GM(1,1) model by only estimating the sign of each residual. This study aims to address that this is too tight a restriction for the modification range. Design/methodology/approach Based on the predicted residual, this study uses the functional-link net (FLN) with genetic-algorithm-based learning to estimate the modification range for its corresponding predicted value obtained from the original GM(1,1) model. Findings The forecasting ability of the proposed grey prediction model is verified using real energy demand cases from China. Experimental results show that the proposed prediction model performs well compared to other grey residual modification models with sign estimation. Originality/value The proposed FLNGM(1,1) model can improve prediction accuracy of the original GM(1,1) model using residual modification. The distinctive feature of the proposed model is to use an FLN to estimate sign and modification range simultaneously for the predicted value based on its corresponding predicted residual obtained from the residual GM(1,1) model.

Naive Approach

Transmission, distribution, and micro-grid system operators are struggling with the increasing number of renewables and the changing nature of energy demand. This necessitates the use of prognostic methods based on ever shorter time series. This study depicted an attempt to develop an appropriate method by introducing a novel forecasting model based on the idea to use the Pareto fronts as a tool to select data in the forecasting process. The proposed model was implemented to forecast short-term electric energy demand in Poland using historical hourly demand values from Polish TSO. The study rather intended on implementing the range of different approaches—scenarios of Pareto fronts usage than on a complex evaluation of the obtained results. However, performance of proposed models was compared with a few benchmark forecasting models, including naïve approach, SARIMAX, kNN, and regression. For two scenarios, it has outperformed all other models by minimum 7.7%.
