ABSTRACT
This chapter is the last of three to look at computerized simulation methodology. Here, the structure and flow of computation for several types of simulation is presented and the use of the various concepts and building blocks discussed in Chapter 12 and 13 is examined in detail. The detailed, overall program and numerical computation structure of a generic simulation program for spatial electric load forecasting is presented. Spatial frequency domain methods and various other advanced techniques to increase computation speed, improve accuracy, automate the forecast calibration process, or otherwise improve the program’s usefulness are covered next. A discussion of these and their application concludes the chapter.
