%T Best Practices in Electricity Load Modeling and Forecasting for Long-Term Power System Planning
%U https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy23osti/81897.pdf
%8 04/2023
%X <p>This report highlights best practices for enhanced load modeling and forecasting for long-term power sector planning. The best practices touch on stakeholder engagement, data acquisition and management, modeling and validation, and scenario development. Case studies are provided to highlight crosscutting lessons that could inform enhanced load modeling and forecasting across different country settings. Though this work presents best practices resulting from support to the PDOE, the list is by no means exhaustive—nor is it meant to be prescriptive.</p>
