Abstract

The integration of renewable energy into the distributed energy system has challenged the operation optimization of the distributed energy system. In addition, application of new technologies and diversified characteristics of the demand side also impose a great influence on the distributed energy system. Through a literature review, the load forecasting technology, which is a key technology inside the optimization framework of distributed energy system, is reviewed and analyzed from two aspects, fundamental research and application research. The study presented in this paper analyses the research methods and research status of load forecasting, analyses the key role of intelligent computing in load forecasting in distributed energy system, and realizes and explores the application of load forecasting in practical energy system.
