Energy forecasting tools and services

The increasing complexity of the power grid and the continuous integration of volatile renewable energy systems on all aspects of it have made more precise forecasts of both energy supply and demand necessary for the future Smart Grid. Yet, the ever increasing volume of tools and services makes it difficult for users (e.g., energy utility companies) and researchers to obtain even a general sense of what each tool or service offers. The present contribution provides an overview and categorization of several energy‐related forecasting tools and services (specifically for load and volatile renewable power), as well as general information regarding principles of time series, load, and volatile renewable power forecasting.
