 Introduction
 Definition
 A process in which the aim is to decide on new as well as upgrading
existing system elements, to adequately satisfy the loads for a
foreseen future
 Elements can be:
 Generation facilities
 Substations
 Transmission lines and/or cables
 Capacitors/Reactors
 Etc.
3

 Introduction{contd.}
 Decision should be
 Where to allocate the element (for instance, the sending and
receiving end of a line),
 When to install the element (for instance, 2020),
 What to select, in terms of the element speciﬁcations (for
instance, number of bundles and conductor type).
 The loads should be adequately satisﬁed.
4

 Load forecasting
 The first crucial step for any planning study
 Forecasting refers to the prediction of the load behavior for the
future
 Words such as, demand and consumption are also used instead of
electric load
 Energy (MWh, kWh) and power (MW,kW) are the two basic
parameters of a load.
 By load, we mean the power.
 Demand forecast
 To determine capacity of generation, transmission and
distribution required
 Energy forecast
 To determine the type of generation facilities required
5

 Load curves
 Variations in load on a power station from time to time
 Daily load curves
 Monthly load curves
 Annual load curves
 Load curve gives:
 Variation of load during different time
 Total no. of units generated
 Maximum demand
 Average load on a power station
 Load factor
6

 Forecasting methodology
 Forecasting: systematic procedure for quantitatively defining future
loads.
 Classification depending on the time period:
 Short term
 Intermediate
 Long term
 Forecast will imply an intermediate-range forecast
 Planning for the addition of new generation, transmission and
distribution facilities must begin 4-10 years in advance of the
actual in-service date.
8

 Forecasting techniques
 Three broad categories based on:
• Extrapolation
– Time series method
– Use historical data as the basis of estimating future
outcomes.
• Correlation
– Econometric forecasting method
– identify the underlying factors that might influence the
variable that is being forecast.
• Combination of both
9

 Extrapolation
 Based on curve fitting to previous data available.
 With the trend curve obtained from curve fitted load can be
forecasted at any future point.
 Simple method and reliable in some cases.
 Deterministic extrapolation:
 Errors in data available and errors in curve fitting are not
accounted.
 Probabilistic extrapolation
 Accuracy of the forecast available is tested using statistical
measures such as mean and variance.
10

 Extrapolation{contd.}
 Standard analytical functions used in trend curve fitting are:
 Straight line:
 Parabola:
 s curve:
 Exponential:
 Gompertz:
 Best trend curve is obtained using regression analysis.
 Best estimate may be obtained using equation of the best trend
curve.

 Correlation
 Relates system loads to various demographic and economic factors.
 Knowledge about the interrelationship between nature of load
growth and other measurable factors.
 Forecasting demographic and economic factors is a difficult task.
 No forecasting method is effective in all situations.
 Designer must have good judgment and experience to make a
forecasting method effective.
12

 Estimation of Average and
Trend Terms:
 Estimation of Average and Trend Terms – The simplest possible form
of the deterministic part of y(k) is given by
 where yd represents the average or the mean value of yd(k), bk
represents the `trend’ term that grows linearly with k and e(k)
represents the error of modeling the complete load using the
average and the trend terms only.
 The question is one of estimating the values of the two unknown
model parameters yd and b to ensure a good model.
 As seen earlier, when little or no statistical information is available
regarding the error term, the method of LSE is helpful.
 If this method is to be used for estimating yd and b, the estimation
index J is defined using the relation
13

Trend Terms{contd.}
 where E(•) represents the expectation operation. Substituting for
e(k) from Eq. (16.2) and making use of the first order necessary
conditions for the index J to have its minimum value with respect to
yd and b, it is found that the following conditions must be satisfied.
 Since the expectation operation does not affect the constant
quantities, it is easy to solve these two equations in order to get the
desired relations.
14

Trend Terms{contd.}
 If y(k) is assumed to be stationary (statistics are not time
dependent) one may involve the ergodic hypothesis and replace the
expectation operation by the time averaging formula.
 Thus, if a total of N data are assumed to be available for
determining the time averages, the two relations may be
equivalently expressed as follows.
15

Trend Terms{contd.}
 These two relations may be fruitfully employed in order to
estimate the average and the trend coefficient for any given
load data.
 Note that Eqs. (16.6a) and (16.6b) are not very accurate in case
the load data behaves as a non-stationary process since the
ergodic hypothesis does not hold for such cases.
 It may still be possible to assume that the data over a finite
window is stationary and the entire set of data may then be
considered as the juxtaposition of a number of stationary blocks,
each having slightly different statistics.
 Equations (16.6a) and (16.6b) may then be repeated over the
different blocks in order to compute the average and the trend
coefficient for each window of data.
