ELECTRIC POWER GRID SUPPLY AND LOAD PREDICTION

An apparatus includes a processor to: assign each value of each set of values of an initial supply meter data and of an initial load meter data to one of multiple buckets based on weather conditions and/or time and date; for each bucket, generate upper and lower bounds of power provision and power consumption values, and use the upper and lower bounds to identify outlier values assigned to the bucket; for each set of values within the initial supply meter data and within the initial load meter data, generate a naive model from the non-outlier values, and use interpolation and the naive model to fill in gaps, thereby generating cleansed supply meter data and cleansed load meter data; and store the cleansed supply meter data and cleansed load meter data together as merged meter data for use in making predictions. 1. An apparatus comprising a processor and a storage to store instructions that , when executed by the processor , cause the processor to perform operations comprising: the initial supply meter data comprises, for each supply meter of multiple supply meters of a power grid, a set of power provision values for a corresponding supply asset at a corresponding supply location; and', 'each power supply value is representative of a measure of power provision taken at a time and date by a supply meter during a predetermined historical time period;, 'retrieve initial supply meter data from the storage, wherein the initial load meter data comprises, for each load meter of multiple load meters of the power grid, a set of power consumption values for a corresponding endpoint asset at a corresponding endpoint location; and', 'each power consumption value is representative of a measure of power consumption taken at a time and date by a load meter during the predetermined historical time period;, 'retrieve initial load meter data from the storage, whereinassign each power provision value of the initial supply meter data to one of multiple buckets based on at least a ...
