Water & Natural Gas Forecasting
The goal of the load forecasting is to provide a correct estimate of the future consumption. It is possible to classify the forecasting in terms of prediction horizon and target dimension. In the former category can be identified short, medium, and long-term prediction; whereas, in the latter one can be discerned several scenarios, the domestic, building, and city are the commons ones.
In Water and Natural Gas fields the lack of suitable databases/datasets acted as a serious bottleneck for the development of innovative Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning methods, that have been widely adopted in the Energy field.
