#1 Day-Ahead Forecasting of Losses in the Distribution Network [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi]

Authors: Nisha Dalal ; Martin Mølnå ; Mette Herrem ; Magne Røen ; Odd Erik Gundersen

We present a commercially deployed machine learning system that automates the day-ahead nomination of the expected grid loss for a Norwegian utility company. It meets several practical constraints and issues related to, among other things, delayed, missing and incorrect data and a small data set. The system incorporates a total of 24 different models that performs forecasts for three sub-grids. Each day one model is selected for making the hourly day-ahead forecasts for each sub-grid. The deployed system reduces the MAE with 41% from 3.68 MW to 2.17 MW per hour from mid July to mid October. It is robust and reduces manual work.
