Abstract

Electricity demand (kilowatt hour: kWh) and peak power load (kilowatt: kW) forecasting is very important for not only expansion planning purposes (long term), but also for dispatching purposes (short term). Hence, from the long term forecasting perspective to the very short term forecasting perspective, the nature of electricity demand and the peak power load forecasting has to be studied and understood very well. At first, the problem has to be understood very well, then the solution of this problem has to be studied and solved. These activities are in the scope of this research, development, demonstration, & deployment (RD3) studies. The author thinks that the natural mechanisms of electricity demand and peak power load forecasting problem can be understood very well by finding, defining, identifying, and describing the factors (parameters, variables) that affect the electricity demand and peak power load. In this study, GATE is only used during corpus development as a backup check. R text mining package (Rtm) and TextSTAT are used as main text mining and analysis tools. 314 terms as candidate variable terms are found by this text analysis. Afterwards, all variables are studied and analyzed by a grey based natural reasoning with simple weighted average approach (WA) (only for long term factors as preliminary in this application) (on way of simple additive weighting method: SAW). Finally, 43 terms (e. g. population, weather, climate, economy, price) for variables are found for infant and mature RD3 studies of 100% renewable energy (RE) worldwide grid (Global Grid). Findings of this study can also be used in other grid types. It is believed that a specific dictionary and encyclopedia in this particular subject should be developed for researchers common sense which will also help building of the Global Grid Prediction Systems (G2PS).
