Accurate forecasts provide the foundation for daily operations, market planning and risk management. Today's changing marketplace and the deregulation of energy markets bring new challenges to energy providers.

Itron's three-day workshop covers the development of regression and neural network models as they apply to daily and hourly electric forecasts. By blending industry-leading instruction on forecasting theory with hands-on application, the workshop provides energy forecasters with a solid understanding of regression and neural network modelling and the skills necessary to create accurate forecasts. By the end of the workshop, attendees will understand basic regression and neural network theory, gain insights into modelling variables and constructs, and have applied these theories and constructs to real world situations.

Mr. Mark Quan shares his international expertise on advanced modelling techniques for short-term operational and retail load forecasting.
