Abstract
The Electricity Supply Board (ESB) requires forecasts of system demand or load for up to 10 days in advance. A model has been developed which identifies a ‘normal’ or weather-insensitive load component and a weather-sensitive load component. Linear regression analysis of past load and weather data is used to identify the normal load model. The weather-sensitive component of the load is forecasted using the parameters of the regression analysis. The system is at present being implemented at the ESB. Here output from the forecast is presented, together with information on updating and improving the model.
