EPRI Artificial Neural Network Short-Term Load Forecaster

  • ANNSTLF provides accurate hourly demand forecasts for a control area (or any sub-areas) typically for the next 7 days. It is driven by historical load and weather data, weather forecasts, and data on holidays and special days. The ANNSTLF model is updated automatically on a daily basis and easily adapts to changing patterns of load variations,
  • ANNSTLF is easy to implement and integrate with the system database through the “training” and support service provided by DSI. It is already in use by over 50 utilities in the US and internationally and the list continues to grow.
  • The web-version of ANNSTLF is now available. Full details for access and use are available by contacting info@dsipower.com
