Estimating Aggregate Capacity of Connected DERs and Forecasting Feeder Power Flow With Limited Data Availability by Amir Reza Nikzad, Amr Adel Mohamed, Bala Venkatesh, John Penaranda

“…In response, we introduce a method to accurately estimate the aggregate capacities of the connected DERs on distribution feeders and a near-term forecasting method. Our proposal comprises: 1) ovel deep learning-based architecture with a few convolutional neural network and long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) modules to represent feeder connected aggregate models of DERs and loads and associated training algorithms; 2) method for estimating aggregate capacities of connected renewables and loads; and 3) method for short-term (hourly) high-resolution forecasting. …”
