Abstract

Load forecasting is a foundational component of distribution planning. Technology, resource, and policy changes pose challenges to traditional forecasting and planning assessments. To better understand current practices and future forecasting needs, a survey was developed asking distribution planners to provide information concerning their existing forecasting tools and practices in forecasting both load growth and Distributed Energy Resources (DER) adoption. The survey also posed questions seeking to understand specific areas of concern that distribution planners have regarding forecasting DER and other load changes. Survey results, along with analytical insights and identified areas of future research are summarized.
