Abstract | With the increasing numbers of smart meter installations, scalable and efficient load forecasting techniques are critically needed to ensure sustainable situation awareness within the distribution networks. Distribution networks include a large amount of different loads at various aggregation levels, such as individual consumers, low-voltage feeders, and transformer stations. It is impractical to develop individual (or so-called local) forecasting models for each load separately. Additionally, such local models also $(i)$ (largely) ignore the strong dependencies between different loads that might be present due to their spatial proximity and the characteristics of the distribution network, $(ii)$ require historical data for each load to be able to make forecasts, and $(iii)$ are incapable of adjusting to changes in the load behavior without retraining. To address these issues, we propose a global modeling framework for load forecasting in distribution networks that, unlike its local competitors, relies on a single global model to generate forecasts for a large number of loads. The global nature of the framework, significantly reduces the computational burden typically required when training multiple local forecasting models, efficiently exploits the cross-series information shared among different loads, and facilitates forecasts even when historical data for a load is missing or the behavior of a load evolves over time. To further improve on the performance of the proposed framework, an unsupervised localization mechanism and optimal ensemble construction strategy are also proposed to localize/personalize the global forecasting model to different load characteristics. Our experimental results show that the proposed framework outperforms naive benchmarks by more than 25% (in terms of Mean Absolute Error) on real-world dataset while exhibiting highly desirable characteristics when compared to the local models that are predominantly used in the literature.
