Energy forecasting plays a dominant role in the sustainable development economic optimization, resource planning and secure operation of electric power systems. The variation in energy demand is a major source of uncertainty in planning for future capacity enhancement, resource needs and operation of existing generation resources. Electric utilities need monthly peak and yearly demand forecasti...

AUTOMATION OF ENERGY DEMAND FORECASTING Sanzad Siddique, B.S. Marquette University, 2013 Automation of energy demand forecasting saves time and effort by searching automatically for an appropriate model in a candidate model space without manual intervention. This thesis introduces a search-based approach that improves the performance of the model searching process for econometrics models. Furth...

Sustainable energy systems are necessary to save the natural resources avoiding environmental impacts which would compromise the development of future generations. Delivering sustainable energy will require an increased efficiency of the generation process including the demand side. The architecture of the future energy supply can be characterized by a combination of conventional centralized po...

Climate change has become a challenge with adverse impacts on the Earth. Reducing the use of fossil fuel is a primary step to solve environmental problems. As the population continues to rise, to meet the growing demand for construction with a large share in energy Consumption, Efforts to make the built environment more energy efficient is crucial. The main objective of this research is to eval...
