AI-Powered Smart Grid Optimization
Power consumption forecasting for grid planning

Overview
The challenge, in context.
Grid planning is only as good as the demand forecast behind it. This project trains a machine-learning model on nearly twenty years of hourly power consumption records to predict future energy demand with high accuracy.
Using multiple linear regression with engineered features, the system captures the daily, weekly, and seasonal patterns embedded in consumption history. Those forecasts feed resource planning, load balancing, and energy optimization decisions across the grid.
The result is a forecasting layer that converts raw meter history into a reliable view of what demand will look like next — down to the hour — so operators can plan with confidence instead of guessing.
Outcome
A data-driven forecasting layer that turns twenty years of meter history into hourly demand predictions — improving how grid resources, load, and energy are planned.
Results & Metrics
