Method and system for forecasting an amount of energy needed by an, in particular, industrial consumer from an energy supplier or energy vendor, and device for forecasting energy demand and its use for forecasting

摘要

The invention relates to a method, its use for forecasting the amount of energy needed by an, in particular, industrial consumer from an energy supplier or vendor, and to a corresponding system and a device for applying the method. The core concept of the invention is a forecasting method which comprises the following method steps: a. creating an initial data series from controlled variables of a future production process in a defined period at at least one consumer; b. determining at least one historical production process in the form of a target data series by comparing the initial data series created with data series from controlled variables of historical production processes; c. determining the historical energy load pattern corresponding to the historical production process determined; d. creating a forecasting plan by means of the historical energy load pattern determined.
