A methodology for electrical energy forecast and its spatial allocation over developing boroughs

Spatial load forecasting is not an accurate subject, yet it is important for the future safe operation of a distribution system. In this paper, a methodology for spatial load forecasting based on the combination of aerial images with statically procedures applicable to developing boroughs, is presented. The core of the study underlies in the adjustment and construction of the S-curves of both saturated and non-saturated small areas. The proposed methodology is validated through the energy forecast and its spatial allocation over a pilot borough.
