Abstract :
Spatial Load Forecasting (SLF) is the basic of distribution system planning. Both trending method and Land-Use based method have the same forecasting precision in short term load forecasting. A new method to estimate the feeder´s load growth is proposed in this paper, which uses the grey theory, curve fit and Geographic Information System (GIS). The proposed method describes in detail. The real instance shows that the proposed method has the better result than other trending method. It shows that the results are quite reasonable and realizable for this study. It is fit for the limited computer resource especially, where it could replace the Land-Use based method.
