Long-Term Demand Forecasting: Novel Decomposition-Linear Exponential-Smoothing Algorithm with Long Short-Term Memory
摘要
This paper proposes a solution to the long-term demand forecasting challenges caused by data scarcity stemming from the growth of economy and electric vehicles. The difficulties caused by the absence of long-term economic and electric-vehicle data were addressed through a novel forecasting model that combines decomposition-linear and exponential-smoothing methods to generate future-input datasets. This forecasting model was validated through a comparison of the original 2022 historical data with the model-generated data for 2022. Next, the model-generated data for 2030 demand was used to increase the long-term forecasting accuracy by effectively capturing complex periodic seasonality and non-decreasing trends. An operating-reserve demand curve was generated based on the long-term forecast data, and the practical use of long-term forecasted demand in reserve planning for future power systems was demonstrated. Our novel model offers a reliable method for addressing data deficiencies in long-term demand forecasting and enables more informed decisions.
