An Investigation and Modelling Forecasting on Electricity Demand Pattern in Bihar

Electricity demand in any region reflects its socio-economic dynamics, climatic conditions, and demographic characteristics. Bihar, a highly burgeoning state in India, exhibits peculiar electricity consumption patterns influenced by its rural-urban divide, dependence on agriculture, and acceleration of industrialization. This study looks into Bihar's load characteristics from a seasonal and diurnal perspective. The demand analysis would consider factors like temperature, humidity, and socio-economic activities that could be modeled as predictors for demand variations established through historical data and linear regression. It would be useful for capacity planners and policymakers to improve grid management and planning.
