Abstract

In combating climate change, an effective demand-based energy supply operation
of the district energy system (DES) for heating or cooling is indispensable. As
a consequence, an accurate forecast of heat consumption on the consumer side
poses an important first step towards an optimal energy supply. However, due to
the non-linearity and non-stationarity of heat consumption data, the prediction of
the thermal energy demand of DES remains challenging. In this work, we propose
a forecasting framework for thermal energy consumption within a district heating
system (DHS) based on kernel Support Vector Regression (kSVR) using real-world
smart meter data. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is employed to find the
optimal hyper-parameter for the kSVR model which leads to the superiority of
the proposed methods when compared to a state-of-the-art ARIMA model. The
average MAPE is reduced to 2.07% and 2.64% for the individual meter-specific
forecasting and for forecasting of societal consumption, respectively.
