Abstract

This paper examines models based on Gaussian Process (GP) priors for electrical load forecasting. This methodology is seen to encompass a number of popular forecasting methods, such as Basic Structural Models (BSMs) and Seasonal Auto-Regressive Intergrated (SARI) as special cases. The GP forecasting models are shown to have some desirable properties and their performance is examined on weekly and yearly Irish load data.
