Peak-Aware Short-Term Load Forecasting Across Distribution Grid Aggregation Levels
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →The paper evaluates short‑term load forecasting methods that are sensitive to high‑demand periods across three distribution grid aggregation levels—area codes, secondary substations, and low‑voltage feeders—using UK and Swiss datasets. It compares statistical baselines, LightGBM, XGBoost, and foundation models Chronos Bolt and Chronos‑2, finding that Chronos‑2 delivers the best high‑demand performance and remains competitive overall. The study also shows that foundation model inference is fast enough for deployment and that peak‑aware evaluation and aggregation‑specific quantile selection can improve operational relevance.
