System and method for load forecasting

摘要

A method (50) of load forecasting for a present day includes obtaining (52) past observed load values of at least three earlier days and identifying (54) a relationship between the present day's load forecast and the past observed load values including unknown weights associated with the past observed load values. The values of unknown weights are determined (56) by comparing at least one previous day's load forecast with the observed load value of the at least one previous day. The determined weight values are then used in the relationship (58) between the present day's load forecast and the past observed load values to forecast the present day's load.
