Abstract: Short-term forecasting models on the micro-grid level help guaranteeing the cost-effective dispatch of available resources and maintaining shortfalls and surpluses to a minimum in the spot market. In this paper, we introduce two time series models for forecasting the day-ahead total power consumption and the fine-granular 24-hour consumption pattern of individual buildings. The proposed model for predicting the consumption pattern outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithm of Pattern Sequence-based Forecasting (PSF). Our analysis reveals that the clustering of individual buildings based on their seasonal, weekly, and daily patterns of power consumption improves the prediction accuracy and increases the time efficiency by reducing the search space.
