An improvemen of echnological proce conrol level can be achieved by ime erie analyi in order o predicion of heir fuure behavior. We can find an applicaion of hi predicion alo by he conrol in he Cenralized Hea Supply Syem (CHSS), epecially for he conrol of ho waer piping hea oupu [2]. In order o improve he conrol level of diric heaing yem, i i neceary for he energy companie o have reliable opimizaion rouine, implemened in heir organizaion [11]. However, before a plan of hea producion, a predicion of he hea demand fir need o be deermined. Due o he large operaional co involved, efficien operaion conrol of he producion ource and producion uni in a diric heaing yem i deirable. Knowledge of hea demand i he bae for inpu daa for operaion preparaion of CHSS. Term hea demand i inananeou required hea oupu or inananeou conumed hea oupu by conumer. Term hea demand relae o erm hea Dae Fig. 1: DDHD for he concree localiy Thee diagram are mo imporan for echnical and economic conideraion. Therefore foreca of hee diagram coure i ignifican for hor-erm and long-erm planning of hea producion. I i poible o judge he queion of peak ource and namely he queion of opimal diribuion loading beween cooperaive producion ource and producion uni inide hee ource according o ime coure of hea demand. The foreca DDHD i ued in hi cae. II. PROBLEM FORMULATION Mo forecaing model and mehod for load predicion have already been uggeed and implemened wih varying degree of ucce. They may be claified ino wo broad caegorie: claical (or aiical) approache and arificial inelligence baed echnique. The aiical mehod foreca he curren value of a Iue 4, Volume 4,

2 variable by uing a mahemaical combinaion of he previou value of ha variable and previou or curren value of exogenou facor, pecially weaher and ocial variable. Thee include linear model, olving by mean of non-linear model, pecral analyi mehod, ARMA model, Box-Jenkin mehodology ec. In recen ime, much reearch ha been carried ou on he applicaion of arificial inelligence echnique. Thee echnique are baed on proceing ma daa. Thee include exper yem, neural nework, fuzzy neural model ec. However, he model ha have received he large aenion are he arificial neural nework [7], [12], [13]. Mo applicaion in he ubjec conider he predicion of elecrical-power load. Neverhele wa creaed everal work, which olve he predicion of DDHD and i ue for conrol of DHS. A number of hee work are baed on ma daa proceing [7], [9]. Bu hee mehod have a big diadvanage. I coni in ou of dae of real daa. From hi poin of view i available o ue he foreca mehod according o aiical mehod. The baic idea of hi approach i o decompoe he load ino wo componen, wheher dependen and wheher independen. The weaher dependen componen i ypically modeled a a polynomial funcion of emperaure and oher weaher facor. The weaher independen componen i ofen decribed by a Fourier erie, ARMA model, Box-Jenkin mehodology or explici ime funcion. Previou work on hea load forecaing [1], [6], how ha he oudoor emperaure, ogeher wih he ocial behavior of he conumer, ha he greae influence on DDHD (wih repec o meeorological influence). Oher weaher condiion like wind, unhine ec. have le effec and hey are par of ochaic componen. In hi paper we propoe he foreca model of DDHD baed on he previou approach. The model i baed on he aumpion ha he coure of DDHD can be decribed ufficienly well a a funcion of he oudoor emperaure and he weaher independen componen (ocial componen). We have udied hea demand daa in wo concree DHS of he Czech Power and Heaing company. Comparion of accuracy of he predicion model i preened and ome concluion are given. Many oher work olve he queion of economical hea producion and diribuion in DHS. Some mehod able o predic dynamic hea demand for pace heaing and domeic warm waer preparaion in DHS, uing ime-erie analyi wa preened [10]. Oher work preen one ep ahead predicion of waer emperaure reurned from agglomeraion baed on inpu waer emperaure, flow and amopheric emperaure in pa 24 hour [14]. III. FORECAST MODEL OF HEAT DEMAND A menioned above, he model i baed on he aumpion ha he coure of DDHD can be decribed ufficienly well a a funcion of he oudoor emperaure and he weaher independen componen (ocial componen). Time of he day affec he ocial componen. The ime dependence of he load reflec he exience of a daily hea demand paern, which may vary for differen week day and eaon. Foreca of ocial componen i realized by mean of Box-Jenkin mehodology [3]. Thi mehod work wih fixed number of value, which are updae for each ampling period. For incluion of oudoor emperaure influence in calculaion of predicion of DDHD wa propoed general plan pecified in Secion 3.2. A. The Box-Jenkin mehod Thi mehodology i baed on he correlaion analyi of ime erie and i work wih ochaic model, which enable o give a rue picure of rend componen and alo of periodic componen. Becaue hi mehod achieve very good reul in pracice, i wa choen for predicion of ocial componen of DDHD. The coure of ime erie of DDHD conain moly wo periodic componen (daily and weekly period). Bu general model according o Box-Jenkin enable o decribe only one periodic componen. We can propoe wo evenual approache o calculaion of foreca o decribe boh periodic componen [5]. The mehod ha ue he model wih double filraion The mehod uperpoiion of model Fir we inroduce implified form (2) of general model according o BJ for he nex uing, when here i ued ubiuion in he form (1). We can find more deailed analyi of general model in work [3]. 1 P -1 ( B ) (B) Θ ( B ) θ ( B) D d F = Φ φ (1) a p Q z = F (2) where: z i real value of hea demand in ime, a i whie noie proce, B i backward hif operaor, eaonal period, ΦP ( B ), ΘQ ( B ) are polynomial in B of degree P and Q of he eaonal AR and MA procee, φ (B) θ ( B) ( B ) Θ ( B ) q p, ΦP, are polynomial in B of degree p and q of he Q AR and MA procee, of order D, D i he eaonal difference operaor d i he difference operaor of order d The mehod ha ue model wih double filraion We can decribe model wih double filraion hrough he ubiuion (1). The model in he form (3) i he reul of i. * D z = F * a (3) where: D degree of eaonal difference daily (in equaion 1), D* - degree of eaonal difference weekly, eaonal period - daily (in equaion 1), * - eaonal period - weekly q Iue 4, Volume 4,

The model in he form (3) enable o decribe he DDHD coure (i.e. i decribe daily periodic componen and alo weekly one). I can be ued for analyi and predicion of following regular influence of calendar (Saurday, Sunday). The mehod uperpoiion of model We can ue econd mehod i.e. uperpoiion of model for eliminaion of regular influence of calendar. Thi mehod wa publihed in he work [5]. Thi mehod i being ued on wo model in he form (2). Thee model are dicerned by mean of ymbol * and **. The ime erie incribed wih ymbol *, i erie of value of DDHD oupu in every ampling period (e.g. 1 hour, 30 minue, 15 minue, ec.). And he ime erie incribed by mean of ymbol ** i erie of value of hea demand per day (he ampling period i 1 day). The plan of calculaing predicion by mean of he mehod of uperpoiion of model i hown on he Fig. 2. We can find more deailed analyi in work [5]. Fig. 2: Superpoiion of model - plan of calculaing predicion 1) Idenificaion of Box-Jenkin model Idenificaion of ime erie model parameer i he mo imporan and he mo difficul phae in he ime erie analyi. Idenificaion proce firly include deerminaion of a degree of differencing. Afer differencing he ime erie, we have o idenify he order of auoregreive proce AR(p) and order of moving average proce MA(q). In our cae, he Akaike Informaion Crierion (AIC) in he form (4) i ued for eing. Adequacy of he model wa eed [4] by mean of Pormaneau e. 2 AIC( p, q) = n ln ˆ σ a + 2( p + q) (4) where: p, q i order of AR and MA proce repecively, 2 σ i a variance of reidual, n i a number of reidual. ˆ a B. Foreca algorihm for incluion of oudoor emperaure Above menioned mehod do no decribe udden flucuaion of meeorological influence. In hi cae we have o include hee influence in calculaion of predicion. For incluion of oudoor emperaure influence in calculaion of predicion of DDHD wa propoed hi general plan: a) The influence of oudoor emperaure filer off from ime erie of DDHD by mean of heaing characeriic (funcion ha decribe he emperaure-dependen par of hea conumpion) b) Predicion of DDHD by mean of Box-Jenkin mehod for hi filered ime erie c) Filraion of prediced value for he reaon of incluion of oudoor emperaure influence (on he bae of weaher foreca) From he previou plan i eviden ha he principal aim i o derive an explici expreion for he emperaure-dependen par of he hea demand. I i obviou ha he emperaure dependence i non-linear. For relaively high oudoor emperaure, he emperaure ha le influence. For example, he load will almo be he ame for 25 C and 27 C. A correponding concluion i alo rue for relaively low emperaure, e.g. wheher he oudoor emperaure i -28 C or -30 C doe no maer, he producion uni will produce a heir maximum rae anyway. * Legend o he Fig. 2: z i real value of hea demand in * ** every ampling period, z i value of hea demand per day, ** ** r h i raio of ranformaion, ** z * i ranformed real value of * r+ hea demand in every ampling period, z * i prediced value * * + of ranformed ime erie, z i prediced value of hea * ** + demand (afer back ranformaion), z i prediced value of ** ** + daily hea demand, h i raio of ranformaion for prediced ** value of daily hea demand,.

The prediced value are neceary o filrae afer predicion calculaion of filering off ime erie for he reaon of incluion of oudoor emperaure influence (on he bae of weaher foreca). We can define hi operaion in he form (8). z 3 = x T x2 T (5) 1 filr + + z = z + z (8) where: z i correcion value of hea demand in ime including oudoor emperaure influence, T i real value of oudoor emperaure in ime, x 1, x 2 are conan. The emperaure dependen par can aumed o vary a a piecewie linear funcion [5], ee he illuraing example in Fig. 4. Here a funcion wih five egmen i ued, bu he number of egmen can of coure be choen arbirarily. filr where: z + i prediced value of filer off ime erie of hea demand in ime, z i correcion value of hea demand + in ime including oudoor emperaure influence, z i prediced value of hea demand in ime. The value + z i obained by applicaion of he equaion filr (5) or (6) for hi operaion. We ue weaher foreca (emperaure foreca). Fig. 4: The ample of heaing characeriic (piecewie linear funcion) IV. CALCULATION OF FORECAST FOR SPECIFIC LOCALITY Puruan o he menioned heory and lieraure a program wa creaed in Malab, which enable o chooe available mahemaical aiical model for calculaion of predicion of DDHD coure. All eing i baed on lo of real daa. Thee daa were obained in pecific localiy and hey are proceed for nex uing in ex file form (ee Fig. 5). The program i drawn in uer menu and by help of ha i i poible o chooe many parameer of foreca calculaion (ee Fig. 6). Given he number of egmen a a N. and he emperaure level a τ i, i = 1,2, N+1. The parameer of heaing characeriic are changed in hee emperaure level. Now we can conider he emperaure-dependen par of hea demand in he form (6). z i = α T τ < T < τ i + β, i i+ 1, i = 1,..., N (6) where: z i correcion value of hea demand in ime including oudoor emperaure influence, T i real value of oudoor emperaure in ime, α i i he lope of i-h egmen, β i i abolue equaion erm of i-h egmen Conan (x 1, x 2 and,α i, β i ) have o be deermined for concree localiy empirically. Filraion ime erie of DDHD ha inpu in predicion model i defined in he form (7). z filr = z z (7) where: filr z i hea demand in ime wih filering off he influence of oudoor emperaure, z i correcion value of hea demand in ime including oudoor emperaure influence, z i real value of hea demand in ime Fig. 5: The ample of ex file Selecion of calculaion mehod of predicion of DDHD coure i a oher poibiliy of ubmied program.
