  1. Briefing on day-ahead load forecasting Amber Motley, Manager – Short Term Forecasting Board of Governors Meeting General Session November 14, 2018

  2. Load forecast accuracy improved 10% in 2018 CAISO Day Ahead Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) CAISO Day Ahead MAPE 2.5% 2.5% Forecast improvement observed in Q1 and Q2 2018 2.0% 2.0% 1.5% 1.5% MAPE MAPE MAPE MAPE 1.0% 1.0% 0.5% 0.5% 0.0% 0.0% Q1 Q1 Q2 Q2 Q3 Q3 Q4 Q4 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Page 2

  3. Analysis of load forecast error looked at the following: • Effect of behind the meter resource production • Underlying temperature / weather forecast • Regional forecast granularity / micro climate effects • Machine learning model tuning parameter • Manual adjustments Page 3

  4. Hourly error increases in middle of day due to effects of increasing behind the meter production on mid-day load. Page 4

  5. Average MW behind the meter error varies significantly by Quarter in 2017. Page 5

  6. During Q1, Q2, and Q4 ISO forecasts are driven by cloud cover Quarter Page 6

  7. There is a difference between ground measured irradiance and satellite interpolated actuals in 2017. Quarter Page 7

  8. Conclusion of analysis • Load forecast accuracy is most impacted by cloud cover variability effects on 7,000MW of behind-the-meter capacity during Q1, Q2, and Q4. • New forecast techniques are needed to support the magnitude and changes to behind-the-meter resource capacity. • Improved visibility into the actual aggregate behind-the-meter production is needed to improve calibration of forecast models Page 8

  9. Work plan of next steps Task Estimated Schedule Regional Breakout End of 2018 Incorporate Behind the Meter Actuals June 30, 2019 Re-assess BTM Forecast Provider June 30, 2019 Modeling Environment TBD; working with IT Multiple Models TBD; working with IT Appropriate Blending Options TBD; working with Vendor Probabilistic Forecasting TBD working with DOE Sponsored Research Project Continuously researching best Develop new forecasting approaches practices & new techniques Page 9
