APPLICATION OF FUZZY-LOGIC TECHNOLOGY FOR SPATIAL LOAD FORECASTING

Utilities are required to provide reliable power to customers. In the design stages, utilities need to plan ahead for anticipated future loa d growth ender different possible scenarios. Their decisions and desig ns earn affect the gain or toss of millions of dollars for their compa nies as well as customer satisfaction and future economic growth in th eir territory. This paper proposes and describe the general methodolog y to use fuzzy logic to fuse the available information for spatial loa d forecasting. The proposed scheme can provide distribution planners o ther alternatives to aggregate their information for spatial load fore casting.
