Abstract

Examples of energy forecasting in hierarchical energy systems are provided herein. A global forecast model instance for a hierarchical energy system can be determined through aggregation of energy forecast model data from individual energy smart meters. Energy forecast model data can include values for energy forecast model parameters used by the individual smart meters. The energy smart meters include measurement, forecasting, and calculation capabilities. The smart meters locally determine a forecast model instance used by the smart meter and provide corresponding information to higher levels in the energy system hierarchy. A global forecast model instance is determined based on the provided information.
