Individual Nonparametric Load Estimation Model for Power Distribution Network Planning

In this paper, we tackle client load estimation in a smart grid network. For that purpose, we propose an individual model based on nonparametric estimators. The model is designed for power estimations for use in network planning. Completely data-driven, the proposed methodology can be applied to both thermosensitive and nonthermosensitive clients. Real measurements collected in French distribution systems are used to validate our methodology. The proposed approach produces more reliable estimation results than the current model (termed BAGHEERA in this paper) of the French electricity company EDF does on the same data.
