Abstract
Fourteen methods of forecasting future distribution system loads are tested in a uniform comparison of forecast accuracy, data needs, and resources.Concentration is on comparison of techniques compatible with modern computer and distribution engineering systems Evaluation is based on usefulness as a planning tool, forecast accuracy, and cost of application. Results are generalized as to applicable situations as a function of utility size and growth rate.
