A Comprehensive Big Data Framework for Energy Markets: Oil and Gas Demand Forecasting

2022-12-29
Demand forecasting in the energy sector is essential for both countries and companies to plan their supply and demand. Agents in the highly volatile oil markets have to act fast and data-driven. In the literature, studies on oil or gasoline demand forecasting are carried out using traditional econometric and AI-based models, using static data for long periods. In this paper, short-term gasoline demand forecasting literature has been investigated. We focus on short-term demand prediction based on big data analytics and investigate potential data sources and architectures to collect data. To this end, several iterative meetings were conducted between the Data Science department, the Oil Trading department of an Oil & Gas company, and researchers within an industry-academia cooperation project. Traditional data sources used for the problem are presented, and the applicability of real-time data to the problem is discussed. A big data architecture is proposed that can be used to predict the demand for petroleum products, mainly for gasoline in the U.S., for the transparency, amplitude, and availability of open data.

A novel methodology for medıum and long-term electricity market modeling
İlseven, Engin; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-11-15)
In the electricity market, there is a considerable degree of uncertainty in electricity demand, supply, and price due to the uncertainty in parameters such as economic growth, weather conditions, fuel prices, and timing of new investments, etc. These factors in return affect the predictability of the electricity market. This thesis aims to increase the predictability and observability of the electricity market by means of a suitable and validated electricity market modeling methodology designed for medium a...
A review of Ghana's energy sector national energy statistics and policy framework
Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (2016-01-01)
In this study, a review of Ghana's energy sector national energy statistics and policy framework is done to create awareness of the strategic planning and energy policies of Ghana's energy sector that will serve as an informative tool for both local and foreign investors, help in national decision-making for the efficient development and utilization of energy resources. The review of Ghana's energy sector policy is to answer the question, what has been done so far? And what is the way forward? The future re...
Multiple objective energy and environmental policy analysis
Yıldız, Şahan; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2015)
Energy policy research studies need to consider several objectives since the energy sector is closely related with economy, environmental quality, and supply security. Before 70s, studies were based on a one-way relationship between the energy sector and the economy, and they tried to estimate energy demand given the level of economic activity. However, the Arabic oil embargo, which doubled the energy prices, resulted in an economic crisis since energy is an intermediate good which is used in almost all pro...
A soft computing approach to projecting locational marginal price
Nwulu, Nnamdi I.; Fahrioglu, Murat (2013-05-01)
The increased deregulation of electricity markets in most nations of the world in recent years has made it imperative that electricity utilities design accurate and efficient mechanisms for determining locational marginal price (LMP) in power systems. This paper presents a comparison of two soft computing-based schemes: Artificial neural networks and support vector machines for the projection of LMP. Our system has useful power system parameters as inputs and the LMP as output. Experimental results obtained...
A framework for energy reduction in manufacturing process chains (E-MPC) and a case study from the Turkish household appliance industry
Uluer, Muhtar Ural; Gok, Gozde; FESCİOĞLU-ÜNVER, NİLGÜN; KILIÇ, SADIK ENGİN (2016-01-20)
Energy is a major input in the manufacturing sector. Its security and efficiency are of supreme importance to a nation's industrial activities. Energy consumption also has serious environmental impacts in terms of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. In order to use energy more efficiently, simply designing parts and planning manufacturing processes with an energy-aware mindset is insufficient; it is also necessary to model and assess the energy efficiency of a process chain from a holistic point of view. In thi...
