ElecLoad: Adaptive Electricity Load Forecasting Guided by Multiple Events

ElecLoad is a context‑aware agent that improves electricity load forecasting by adaptively organizing the forecasting process around multiple events. It analyzes each event’s relevance, timing, and interactions with historical load, then decides whether to forecast the entire horizon or partition it into segments. Sub‑agents generate initial forecasts for each segment, and the main agent refines them based on feedback, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on several datasets.

A Benchmark for Electrical Load Forecasting Across Grid Levels: Time-Series Transformers Outperform Established Methods

arXiv:2607. 15705v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate load forecasting at multiple grid levels is essential for future smart grids, ranging from aggregated control area forecasts for balancing supply and demand to forecasts of individual end-consumer loads for demand-side management and energy management systems.

Bridging AI and Energy Forecasting: An Autonomous Workflow with Customized Toolkit

arXiv:2307. 07191v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Energy forecasting is crucial for the power grid, but fundamentally different from general time series analysis: it highly relies on covariates like meteorological factors, and its goals must align with actual power grid operations, such as risk assessment and system reliability.

LoaDiff: Conditional Generation of Electricity Consumption Time Series for Energy Analytics

LoaDiff is a diffusion-based generative model that produces year-long, sub-hourly smart‑meter electricity consumption time series. It can be conditioned on static household attributes like appliance ownership and dynamic factors such as calendar dates and outdoor temperature. Evaluations on three residential datasets show that LoaDiff generates realistic, diverse load profiles, limits memorization, retains useful information for downstream tasks, and responds coherently to conditioning changes.

CastClaw: A Human-in-the-Loop Autonomous Agent for Interactive Time Series Forecasting

CastClaw is an interactive forecasting system that combines an autonomous forecasting loop with a forecasting-oriented harness. Users define and refine forecasting tasks in natural language via command-line or Web interfaces, while an internal large language model agent selects tool actions or requests human feedback, using checked results to guide the forecasting process. The system integrates tool execution, state management, and validation, and has been evaluated on five public electricity‑price datasets, outperforming 16 baselines in point‑estimate MSE and MAE, with case studies on Nord Pool and North China electricity‑load data.
