Comparative Analysis of Load Forecasting Models for Varying Time Horizons and Load Aggregation Levels

Power system operators are confronted with a multitude of new forecasting tasks to ensure a constant supply security despite the decreasing number of fully controllable energy producers. With this paper, we aim to facilitate the selection of suitable forecasting approaches for the load forecasting p...
