Forecasting, Volume 7, Issue 2

2025 June - 17 articles

Cover Story: We present a parallel multi-model energy demand forecasting framework with cloud redundancy to ensure resilient and accurate kilowatt-level predictions. By integrating trend correction algorithms and systematic feature selection, our approach combines diverse machine learning models running in parallel within redundant cloud instances, enabling continuous operation under partial failures. The ensemble dynamically adapts to evolving demand patterns, delivering real-time load estimates to support grid stability and operational planning. Validation on extensive real-world datasets demonstrates significant accuracy improvements over single-model baselines, highlighting its potential for scalable smart grid applications. View this paper
