An innovative algorithm for the power loads forecasting in Italian transmission grid: development and main results of the PREVEL software of Osmose project

As part of the European OSMOSE project, a real-time load forecasting system has been developed and implemented for the nodes in the transmission network of Southern Italy. The forecast has a three-hour horizon and is updated every 15 minutes.

As part of the European OSMOSE project, the Zonal Energy Management System requires a forecast of the loads for each node in the transmission network every 15 minutes for the next three hours. Short-term forecasts are provided using an Analog Ensemble scheme and an autoregressive method, with inputs consisting of the last two months of short-term forecasts and load measurements. The short-term forecasts are derived from a Random Forest algorithm trained using the last four months of meteorological data and load measurements. This article describes the initial results of the ongoing experimentation applied to Southern Italy.
