Collaborated in developing a software for short-term forecasting of electric load in several provinces in Iran. Examined the performance of several models for multi-step ahead forecasting including seasonal ARIMAX, support vector regression, generalized additive models, multi-layer neural network, and boosted trees. Investigated the effect of several exogenous variables including the previous and forecast values of the temperature and weather condition, calendar variables (e.g., holidays, religious events, important soccer matches). Worked with the software engineering team to develop the final product as a software as a service.
