Utilities are required to provide reliable power to customers. In the design stages, utilities need to plan ahead for anticipated future load growth under different possible scenarios. Their decisions and designs can affect the gain or loss of millions of dollars for their companies as well as customer satisfaction and future economic growth in their territory. This paper proposes and describes the general methodology to use fuzzy logic to fuse the available information for spatial load forecasting. The proposed scheme can provide distribution planners other alternatives to aggregate their information for spatial load forecasting.
