NEURO-FUZZY CONTROL IN LOAD FORECASTING OF POWER SECTOR

Load forecasting is of vital importance for any power system. It helps in taking many decisions regarding energy purchasing and generation, maintenance, etc. Further, load forecasting provides information which is able to be used for energy interchange with other utilities. Over the years, a number of methods have been proposed for load forecasting. This paper focuses on short term load forecasting by using a hybrid model of neural networks and fuzzy logic
