Short Term Load Forecasting

Short-term load forecasting (STLF) aims to accurately predict electricity demand over short time horizons, crucial for efficient grid management and market operations. Current research emphasizes improving forecasting accuracy and robustness using advanced machine learning models, including recurrent neural networks (RNNs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformer networks, and hybrid approaches that combine these architectures with techniques like meta-learning, attention mechanisms, and multi-scale temporal decomposition. These advancements address challenges posed by data scarcity, heterogeneity, and privacy concerns, particularly in the context of smart grids and federated learning. The resulting improvements in STLF accuracy have significant implications for optimizing energy resource allocation, enhancing grid stability, and facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources.
