Monash Electricity Forecasting Model

Description

This package includes a set of tools for implementing the Monash Electricity Forecasting Model based on the paper by Hyndman and Fan (2010).

The package requires the following data as input: half-hourly/hourly electricity demands; half-hourly/hourly temperatures at one or two locations; seasonal demographic and economic data; public holiday data. The formats of the required data are described in the help files.

# Formula for annual model, to be given by the user
formula.a <- as.formula(anndemand ~ gsp + ddays + resiprice)

# Create lagged temperature variables
sa <- maketemps(sa,2,48)

sa.model <- demand_model(sa, sa.econ, formula.hh, formula.a)

summary(sa.model$a)
summary(sa.model$hh[[33]]) 

# Simulate future normalized half-hourly data
simdemand <- simulate_ddemand(sa.model, sa, simyears=10)

# Seasonal economic and weather forecast, to be given by user
afcast <- data.frame(pop=1694, gsp=22573, resiprice=34.65, ddays=642)

# Simulate half-hourly data
demand <- simulate_demand(simdemand, afcast)

# Illustrate the results
plot(density(demand$annmax, bw="SJ"),
