An integrated load forecasting

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6016235
A research project was initiated at Virginia Tech through the sponsorship of the Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research to develop simple load models and a load forecast algorithm. The objective was to assist the electric cooperatives and electric utilities in the State of Virginia to reduce the capacity requirements and improve the system load factor. The authors' efforts resulted in the construction of an integrated load forecasting-load management (LFLM) simulator that can be used by electric cooperatives and electric utilities alike. Rule-based algorithms have been used for implementing various functions of the simulator. The major elements are: 24-hour load forecast, water heater and air conditioner load models, direct load control dispatch and intelligent databases. Also, this system has been provided with adequate amount of intelligence such that it is able to make the right decisions, revise and update its rules and factors, diagnose problems and take corrective actions without the need for operator intervention in most situations. The load management simulator consists of a central unit, remote unit and data sources.
