MS#78. Peak Load Prediction in an Electrical Power System, 1994 Subjects: Electrical engineering Written: 13 March 1994 Abstract. In the operation and maintenance of an electric power system, it is very useful to know the load, especially the peak load, in advance. In this paper we consider the difficult problem of peak load prediction (PLP) in an electric power system. We propose a discrete, complex dynamical model for PLP, similar to those proposed recently for macroeconomic prediction, in the spirit of complex dynamical systems (CDS) theory.
