ANN Based Day Ahead Forecasting Model for All India Demand

The Indian power system is undergoing significant transformation due to technological advancement, environmental goals, evolving consumption patterns, renewable energy integration, emerging load types, weather diversity, and special events. As part of the national target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil-fuel-based installed capacity by 2030, India has already surpassed 250 GW of renewable energy capacity [1]. Furthermore, electricity generation in India reached approximately 1829.7 BU in 2024–25, and the all-India peak demand met during the year was approximately 250 GW, underscoring the scale of the system and the need for reliable demand forecasting [2].
