A private electricity company (in partnership with the state government in India) was looking for a platform to predict grid frequency based on pre-processed and agreed Data buckets available corresponding to the last 5 years’ frequency data at the national level as well as regional level.
An Artificially Intelligent software solution (prediction analysis) that provides every 15 mins projection of frequency over the next 2 hours in 8 distinct points (corresponding to 15 mins each in the next 2-hour window)

Technique | Method | Assumptions | Pitfalls | Model Training Frequency |
|
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Time Series Forecasting using ARIMA/ETS. | Use the existing time series of frequency values to make the predictions about the future values. | The vanilla algorithms do not use the other available data to make the forecast. | The algorithm is best suited to solve a the further we into the future we forecast, the more error is generated. | Requires frequent updates, but since the method is extremely fast, shouldn’t be cumbersome. |
2 | Regression/Decision Trees that use hand made features to make predictions. | Extract features from time series (like moving average, seasonal average) and other points like temperature changes, holiday indicator, weekday indicator etc. to make the predictions. | Regression will assume linear relationships at certain points, decision tree-based methods will be more black box approaches. | Both problem versions a and b can be solved using this class of methods, but considerable time must be spent to make the features, domain knowledge might be crucial. | Monthly might be fine if there are no major changes in the variance in data. |
3 | Forecast daily and hourly demands. | Here we break the problem as a combination of day level and hour level forecasts which are combined to make the final forecast. | The basic assumption will be that the day level demand only depends on weekday type (Monday etc.) and the hourly demands will be different for different days. | The approach will see changes very late since the model must be trained frequently, works on both a and b. | A biweekly level might work since this method is not sensitive to recent changes in the data patterns, it must be retrained to understand those. |
