Abstract
This paper presents a predictive model that estimates the load for an Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system. We start by laying the foundation for our system by discussing the AGC, and the benefits of embedding it in a smart power grid. The AGC as a system is discussed with a keen focus on the mathematical relationship between the load on the system and the frequency deviation. Our predictive model is a deep neural network trained on a multivariate time series dataset for energy consumption collected over 47 months. The results show that it is possible to predict to a high accuracy, the total load on the power system within the next minute. The goal of the predictive model is predicated upon the notion that the ability to forecast the future load on the system results in the ability to estimate the frequency deviation as well, and thus giving the AGC the ability to forecast risks such as a system overload.
