Research on Gas Load Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Network

Abstract:

In this paper, we give a short survey and analysis on natural gas load forecasting technology using artificial neural network. Different input variables are used to compare the result of forecasting the short term gas load. The experiment results show that the BP neural network can be used to find the implicit relation among historical gas load, weather condition and the future gas load. We also conclude that the input variables have no important influence on the accurate forecast.
