Abstract :
The importance of electricity demand forecasting, factors influencing the various ranges of demand forecasting, and their correlation and contribution to demand are discussed. Various models which can be used to identify the demand pattern and underlying growth to predict future demand are presented. A step-by-step method of building a forecasting model is also provided.
