A numerical approach to estimate the actual demand of utility power in case of systematic data scarcity

For proper electricity generation planning and scheduling of operation of the power plants, the actual demand is a must know. But it is almost impossible to determine the actual demand of electricity in Bangladesh due to shortage of organized data. In this research, a statistical method has been presented to estimate the total demand of Bangladesh in a typical peak hour in 2011. This procedure is acceptable for a power system like that in Bangladesh where bona fide particulars is absent.
