Application of neural network and Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm for electrical grid planning

Abstract

Abstract:In the present scenario of industrial growth, technological advancement and population growth, the single most inseparable commodity is electrical energy. This paper presents a novel way to use Neural Networks to forecast long-term electricity load and use the result for proper grid planning in terms of expansion and maintenance. Uninterrupted, reliable and cheap electricity can only be available if there is a proper planned and stable grid, which can be achieved only through proper futuristic grid planning models. In this paper, focus is centered to form the cluster of areas based on the forecasted energy needs in India. Priority ranking also allocated to decide the level of expansion for forthcoming decades.
