Multi-Horizon Electricity Demand Forecasting in High Resolution
Overview
Advanced forecasting algorithms for long-term energy demand at the national or regional level. The methodology is based on Grandón et al. (2024) doi:10.1016/j.apenergy.2023.122249; Zimmermann & Ziel (2024) doi:10.1016/j.apenergy.2025.125444. Real-time data, including power demand, weather conditions, and macroeconomic indicators, are provided through automated API integration with various institutions. The modular approach maintains transparency on the various model selection processes and encompasses the ability to be adapted to individual needs. 'oRaklE' tries to help facilitating robust decision-making in energy management and planning.
Major changes
- Updated ENTSO-E data retrieval logic. Due to changes in the Transparency Platform API, the previous version of
get_entsoE_data()could no longer retrieve data correctly. The function has been adapted to the new XML structure. - Replaced all
stop()calls during GET requests with safemessage()+ graceful return to comply with CRAN policies.
Bug fixes
- Fixed an issue where non dynamic column referencing could fail to retrieve the correct macro economic indicators for some countries from the WEO Outlook data
