A Machine Learning Model Ensemble for Mixed Power Load Forecasting across Multiple Time Horizons.

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources tends to redirect the power systems community's interest from the traditional power grid model towards the smart grid framework. During this transition, load forecasting for various time horizons constitutes an essential electric utility task in network planning, operation, and management. This paper presents a novel mixed power-load forecasting scheme for multiple prediction horizons ranging from 15 min to 24 h ahead.
