Abstract: Estimating and managing electricity distribution losses are the core business competencies of DSOs (distribution system operators). Since electricity demand is a major driver of network losses, it is essential for DSOs to have an accurate estimate of the electricity infeed in their network. In this paper, motivated by the operations of a Dutch electricity distribution system operator, we examine how to estimate the electricity infeed in distribution networks one year in advance with hourly forecasting intervals, so that the DSOs may effectively hedge for their physical losses in the wholesale markets.
