This work aims to explore different input patterns in neural networks incorporating information derived from load profiles of different consumers' classes.engLoad forecastingLow voltageNeural networksTechnology managementAutocorrelationWeather forecastingArtificial neural networksPredictive modelsComputer networksResearch and developmentconference paper10.1109/powereng.2009.49152292155-5532
