    NeuroDem - a neural network based short term demand forecaster.
    (2001) Silva, Alexandre Pinto Alves da; Rodrigues, Ubiratan de Paula; Reis, Agnaldo José da Rocha; Moulin, Luciano Souza
    The application of Neural Network (NN) based Short-Term Load Forecasting (STLF) has developed to sophisticated practical systems over the years. However, the question of how to maximize the generalization ability of such machines, together with the choice of architecture, activation functions, training set data and size, etc. makes up a huge number of possible combinations for the final NN design, whose optimal solution has not been figured yet. This paper describes a STLF system (NeuroDem) which has been used by Brazilian electric utilities for 3 years. It uses a non-parametric model based on a linear model coupled with a polynomial network, identified by pruninglgrowing mechanisms. NeuroDem has special features of data pre-processing and confidence intervals calculations, which are also described. Results of load forecasts are presented for one year with forecasting horizons from 15 min. to 168 hours ahead.

    Enhancing neural network based load forecasting via preprocessing.
    (2001) Silva, Alexandre Pinto Alves da; Reis, Agnaldo José da Rocha; El-Sharkawi, Mohamed A.; Marks II, Robert J.
    The importance of Short-Term Load Forecasting (STLF) has increased, lately. With deregulation and competition, energy price forecasting has become a big business. Load bus forecasting is essential for feeding the analytical methods used for determining energy prices. The variability and nonstationarity of loads are getting worse due to the dynamics of energy tariffs. Besides, the number of nodal loads to be predicted does not allow frequent interventions from load forecasting specialists. More autonomous load predictors are needed in the new competitive scenario. Despite the success of neural network based STLF, techniques for preprocessing the load data have been overlooked. In this paper, different techniques for preprocessing a load series have been investigated. The main goal is to induce stationarity and to emphasize the relevant features of the series in order to produce more robust load forecasters. One year of load data from a Brazilian electric utility has been used to validate the proposed

    A hierarchical self-organizing map model in short-termload forecasting.
    (2004) Carpinteiro, Otávio Augusto Salgado; Reis, Agnaldo José da Rocha
    This paper proposes a novel neural model to the problem of short-term load forecasting. The neural model is made up of two self-organizing map nets|one on top of the other. It has been successfully applied to domains in which the context information given by former events plays a primary role. The model was trained and assessed on load data extracted from a Brazilian electric utility. It was required to predict once every hour the electric load during the next 24 hours. The paper presents the results, and evaluates them

    A hierarchical hybrid neural model in short-termload forecasting.
    (2004) Carpinteiro, Otávio Augusto Salgado; Reis, Agnaldo José da Rocha; Quintanilha Filho, Paulo Sergio
    This paper proposes a novel neural model to the problem of short-term load forecasting. The neural model is made up o f two self-organizing map nets one on top of the other |,and a single-layer perceptron. It has application into domains in which the context information given by former events plays aprimary role. The model was trained and assessed onload data extracted from a Brazilian electric utility. It was required to predict once every hour the electric load during the next six hours. The paper presents the results, and evaluates them.
