2 Load forecasting Probabilistic forecasting of electricity demand is an important task for all active market participants! pricing of electricity contracts for end customers basis for risk management and hedging strategies of suppliers and vendors optimization of electricity procurement (generation) and consumption evaluation of the fair market price of electricity Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 2

3 Literature approaches vary from AI-based like neural networks to parametric approaches like exponential smoothing or time series analysis (Weron (2006), Alfares and Nazeeruddin (2002)) typically considered: load forecasting models for households or for the total system load (Paatero and Lund (2005), Dordonnat et. al (2008)) lack of information about uncertainty (point forecasts) usual forecast horizon is hours to days ((very) short term) Suitable studies of medium term probabilistic models for industrial end customers seem to be rare so far. Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 3

4 Our aim: load forecasting for companies depending on business sector medium-term, i.e. year-ahead probabilistic forecasts total system load as an exogenous factor SARIMA model for stochastic load component challenge: consumption patterns can vary significantly among different sectors Which model is the best one? Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 4

5 Outline Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 5

6 metering of electricity demand hourly load data for a few years the cumulated load of a set of households or the total system load show a quite homogeneous behavior (diversification) in contrast, the load of a single industry customer is more heterogeneous reason: stochastic events like machine failures have a greater impact on the individual demand profile Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 6

8 Fundamental model equation Let C t denote the electricity consumption at time t, our model equation has the following form: log C t = D t + u(g t ) + R t Here, D t is a deterministic seasonal pattern, u(gt ) is a function of the residual grid load G t R t is a residual time series. and Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 8

9 A similar-day approach for D t The deterministic seasonal pattern D t is given by 2πt D t =β 0 + β 1 sin{ } + β 2πt 2 cos{ } + 16 β j ϑ j 2 (t) + 40 j=3 j=17 β j ϱ j 16 (t), where the β j are determined via OLS (using outlier-cleaned historical data). The dummies ϑ j, j = 1,..., 14 are described in table 1 and ϱ 1,..., ϱ 24 denote the hours. Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 9

11 G t as an exogenous factor denotes the residual grid load, i.e. the total system load minus its deterministic part G t maps the stochastic fluctuations of the market correlation with a customer s electricity demand can be positive or negative the function u(gt ) could be any suitable function, we found a linear approach sufficient Residual grid load vs. residual customer consumption (peak hours): Corr=23.16% Robust regression Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 11

12 The residual time series R t covers remaining autocorrelations and seasonalities often modeled by a Gaussian white noise process (iid normal distributed) general assumption of independence and light tails is wrong choose a (seasonal) ARIMA model for R t number and choice of parameters depend on business sector R t = log C t D t u(g t ) Jan Kevin FebBerkMar and Alfred AprMüller May Jun Electricity Jul loadaug forecasting Sep Oct Nov Dec 12

13 Model choice for R t BIC suggests a SARIMA(p, 0, q) (P, 0, Q) 24 model with (p, 0, q) (P, 0, Q) = (3, 0, 3) (0, 0, 2) for retail customers, = (4, 0, 4) (1, 0, 1) for two shift operating customers, (2, 0, 0) (2, 0, 2) for three shift operating customers. innovations are not normally distributed Figure : normal distribution fit for SARIMA model innovations Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 13

22 Evaluation of probabilistic forecasts For a given observation x let F(z) = 1 [z x] be the empirical cdf. We use the continuous ranked probability score (CPRS), which is defined for a probabilistic forecast with cdf F as CRPS(F, x) = = 1 0 (F (z) F(z)) 2 dz QS α (F 1 (α), x)dα with QS α (q, x) = 2(1 [ x<q] α)(q x) denoting the quantile score. We estimate F via Monte-Carlo simulation and compute the CRPS for every point of time t and add up over t (of one year). Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 19

27 switching load profiles Jan'10 Jan'11 Jan'12 Jan'13 Figure : Load profile with stochastic switches in regime (Electric wire manufacturing). two-regime time series different behavior in each regime switches are random but seem to depend on time summer and winter holiday periods are special Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 24

28 Markov-switching model Idea: Inhomogeneous markov-switching model ARMA (R t ) plus seasonal component (D t ) in upper regime iid rv (Z t ) in lower regime markov-chain with time-varying transition probabilities Let C t be the electricity consumption and S t {0, 1} be the state of regime at time t. Then C t = (D t + R t )S t + Z t (1 S t ). S t can not be observed directly, we rather have to infer its operation through the observed behavior of C t. Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 25

29 Markov-chain S t The two-point stochastic process S t is described by the transition matrix P(S t = s t S t 1 = s t 1, z t 1 ; β 0 ) [ ] q(zt 1, β = 0 ) 1 q(z t 1, β 0 ) 1 p(z t 1, β 1 ) p(z t 1, β 1 ) where z t is a vector of economic-indicator variables, β = (β 0, β 1 ) is a set of parameters governing the transition probabilities and p, q : R 2k [0, 1] are piecewise continuously differentiable functions (see Filardo (1994)). We use a logistic functional form. Kevin Berk and Alfred Müller Electricity load forecasting 26
