ANN-Based Short-Term Load Forecasting

Abstract

Load forecasting is a very crucial issue for the operational planning of electrical power systems. In the sixth chapter, it is formulated that a reliable power network along with load prediction models is essential for uninterrupted supply of electrical energy to the consumers. The Back-Propagation ANN algorithm is applied to forecast the load of the power system. Based on the load forecasted power components, transmission lines and sub-stations are augmented for improved reliability in a province.
