Abstract: Macro Demand Spatial Approach (MDSA) is an approach introduced in long
time electricity demand forecasting considering location. It will be used at transmission
planning and policy decision on electricity infrastructure development in a region. In the
model, MDSA combined with qualitative approach and quantitative approach as mixed
method. QA used to determine main development area and supporting area in
region.This method is used to prove the hypothesis that the observed transmission
service area are not homogeneous.Main development area is an area with industrial
domination as a driver of economic growth. Whilst, supporting area is an area with
residential domination that supporting economic growth at main development
area.Hence, the electricity demand driver variables are different for type of electricity
consumer at different spatial characteristics. The variables have no significant effect can
be reduced by using PCA. The results of PCA should be validated with the results of
QA. Generated models formed from the variables generated by PCA. The generated
models tested to assess whether it fit with the actual data. Range of interval confidence
level used as fit criteria. At the case study, generated model for main development areas
and supporting area in Southern Sumatra Regionas a part of Sumatra System is still in
the range of confidence level. Thus, MDSA can be proposed as alternative approach on
demand forecastingat transmission planning that considering location.

1. Introduction
Transmission expansion planning is built based on electricity demand and load analysis.
Despite this, electricity demand on which to base the development of the transmission is not
only in magnitude but including where demand is required in an electrical system and when it
necessary needs. These characteristics indicate that the analysis of the electricity demand in the
transmission system planning requires different approach than the analysis of the electricity
demand in the generation planning. These characteristics requires also knowledge of the
direction of development of the transmission service area.However, in some cases on master
plan of the transmission expansion conducted by the power company, forecasting load which
current use regarded not sufficiently anticipate direction of development area. Approach to
electricity demand forecasting which in accordance with the characteristics of the transmission
system planning and also consider direction of development area is electricity demand
forecasting that consider the space. A particular transmission service area can be seen as a
space with different characteristics compare other transmission service area.
Electricity demand forecasting that consider factors such space was first introduced by Van
Wormer in 1954. It presented in the Van Wormer paper entitled "Some Aspects of the
Distribution Area Load Geometry".The paper was published in Power Apparatus and Systems
Volume 73, No. 2, 1954, page 1343-1349.Principally, Van Wormer proposes an approach to
the development of the electrical power system are optimal with respect to the geometry of the
load area[26]. The term geometry load area subsequently changed to spatial load area. Both of
these terms refer to a particular area was the focus of attention of power system
planners.Furthermore, spatial load forecasting method developed by Lee Willis and followed
by other researchers. [17].

Spatial load forecasting was developed by Lee Willis and other researchers used for
distribution system planning, small area and short term forecasting. Because of such properties,
spatial load forecasting driver used is the change in land use. Direction of past land-use change
modeled to obtain correlation between land use and the load. The model developed with
different variations of them by Carreno [3], [4] Chouw [6], Tao Hong [25], Jain [15] and Melo
[18], [19].
The characteristic of spatial load forecasting for transmission planning are long-term and
broader area. Thus, it is not possible to use land use change as drivers. Generally, drivers used
for long-term forecasting of electricity demand is economic growth. Strong correlation between
electricity demand and economic growth has become rule in electricity economic subject [7].
Hence, the alternative driver that can be used in spatial load forecasting for transmission
planning is economic variables. According to direction of development area, the transmission
service area define as central area of economic growth and the supporting area of economic
growth [21]. The central area of economic growth define as main development area[9], [22],
[23],and other area define as supporting area.
The use of economic growth as a driver in electricity demand caused the load in each
spatial area cannot be directly predicted. At the early stage, the predicted results are electricity
demand in electricity energy unit. To get the load in each spatial area required additional
predictive load duration curve and load factor based on the direction of economic growth and
development as well as the directions of development in each region characteristics. They are
qualitative. Thus, it required an integrative approach of quantitative analysis and qualitative
analysis. This approach is known as a mixed method approach [8].This approach differs from
the long-term load forecast developed by Hyndman [14]. Hyndman approach model
emphasizes the probability of peak load incidence in the future which is based on past
conditions.
The approach on correlation between economic growth and the electricity demand in main
development area and supporting area as a basis for transmission planning is a causality
approach. This approach is more robust than the time series approach or an intelligent system
approach which has been developed recently [2], [10], [11]. When it applied to transmission
service area which have different characteristics according to its direction of development, the
approach used requires different causality model between each area[1], [12], [13], [28].The
approach was introduced as macro demand spatial approach (MDSA). The approach was use
mixed method approach.
The paper describes an important part of the development of MDSA using mixed method.
It is combinequalitative approach and quantitative approach. Qualitative approach use principal
component analysis (PCA), while qualitative approach use Qualitative analysis (QA). QA
results should be in line with the results of the PCA.Such terms is condition to use mixed
methods approach. Condition where QA and PCA results in line referred “triangulation”.QA
used to determine whether the region studied is main development area or supporting area.
PCA is used as a basis to establish a mathematical model for each spatial unit. Through this
method obtained a number of economic variables that affect electricity demand for each sector
in each spatial region. The variables that affect every load sector in each unit spatial is assumed
different.The assumption is in accordance with the assumption that transmission service area is
heterogeneous. The approach was different with another PCA applied in forecasting. Another
approach proposed by other researcher was neural network combined with PCA [5], PCA as
basis for MIX SVM [27] and principal component regression analysis. [29]
Furthermore, mathematical model is formed from another results of the PCA.The
mathematical model used is the linear model. Tests carried out to assess whether the model in
accordance with the actual data. The concordance of PCA results and QA results indicate that
mixed methods can be applied to the spatial load forecasting.Moreover, the final results
indicate that the MDSA can be recommended as an alternative methods of spatial load
forecasting for transmission planning.

2. The Concept of Macro Demand Spatial Approach (MDSA)in Transmission Planning
Generally the approach to transmission planning can be divided into 2 approaches. The first
approach is known as "regional balance". The regional balance approach is an approach that
sees the electricity demand in a certain spatial area should be met by energy sources in such
spatial area.Based on regional balance approach, transmission line developed generally are
short distance with high voltage level.The second approach is known as 'supply balance'
approach. The supply balance approach is approach that sees the electricity demand in a certain
spatial area filled with optimal system scenarios. Such scenario opens opportunities deliver
power from distant power plant to center load.Based on such approach, transmission line
developed generally are longdistance with extra high voltage level.
In a country where not every spatial unit has adequate sources of primary energy, ‘regional
balance’ approach cannot be used.‘Supply balance’ approach is more proper and widely used.
Optimal transmission planning with supply balance approach requires load information i.e.
Load centre location and its electricity demand. Such information is needed to answer the
question where, when and how much power will distributed in system. As already described in
the introduction, information such as location of electricity load centre, magnitude of electricity
load and others information which is used to answer the question where, when and how much
power will delivered in system, refers to a wide area. In many cases of practical planning done
by the power company such as in Indonesia, the master plan of transmission planning for
extensive area requires electricity demand forecasting which is not only relying on a number of
historical data. Electricity demand forecasting for electricity transmission planning was
expected to also accommodate the direction of regional development. Basically, spatial load
forecasting concept can meet those requirements. However it takes some development concept
to answer those needs.
Spatial load forecasting on transmission planning is unique. Investment in transmission is a
long term investment. Options transmission line built shall able meet the needs of long-term
power transmission. It is considering investment in transmission line expensive. Therefore,
such condition leads spatial load forecasting for transmission planning is long-term forecasting.
Additionally, transmitted power through transmission line is power with a large quantity. Such
power is generally served for wide area. Therefore, spatial load forecasting for transmission
planning has a wider spatial units than spatial units that have been defined in traditional spatial
load forecasting. Thus, changes in land use cannot be used as drivers on spatial electricity
demand forecasting for transmission planning.
Spatial approach used to obtain the optimal planning requires the establishment of
appropriate spatial units with transmission service area. Establishment and direction of the
development of spatial units that has proximity character is basically built from qualitative
information. Thus, spatial electricity demand forecasting for transmission planning require
qualitative analysis and qualitative approaches.
A. Mixed Method on Macro Demand Spatial Approach (MDSA)
Models and concepts proposed to address these issues is a model and the concept of Macro
Demand Spatial Approach (MDSA). The concept is using a combined approach between the
qualitative and quantitative approaches. The combined approach is known as a mixed method
approach. This approach is a third approach which complements the previous two approaches,
qualitative and quantitative. Mixed method approach appear to answer the research issues that
are not sufficiently solved with only a qualitative approach or quantitative approach. In spatial
electricity demand forecasting for transmission planning, the establishment of spatial units and
its development direction have qualitative characteristics. Results of spatial electricity demand
forecasting needs to be unvarying with the direction of the development of spatial units. Thus,
the final interpretation is a model which already combines quantitative analysis and qualitative
analysis

195
Characteristics of MDSA model are shown in table 1.As shown in table 1, the combine
technique uses technique of quantitative model validated by qualitative models. In the mixed
method approach, such merging techniques known as “triangulation”. Triangulation in a mixed
method approach is the approach which conduct the process of getting and analyse data of
different but complementary to study the same topic, so it can meet best understanding of the
research problem. Sub triangulation techniques used in MDSA is validating quantitative data
model. Flow diagram of validating quantitative data model in MDSA as mixed method
approach is shown in figure 1. In accordance with flow diagram as shown in figure 1, MDSA
modelling started with equal process among quantitative approaches and qualitative
approaches.

B. Qualitative Approach
In a qualitative approach, a number of documents that indicate the direction of development
in the area of spatial observed were collected and analyzed. Qualitative analysis (QA) is used
to determine formation of the spatial unit, s. As already describe in introduction, there are 2
types of spatial unit as area served by electrical power system i.e. main development areas (se)
and supporting development areas (ss).Results of QA is a grouping of transmission service area
that observed as spatial unit se and spatial unit ss.Economic variables that affect electricity
demand in spatial unitse would be similar. Also, economic variables that affect electricity
demand in spatial unit ss would be similar. Thus, the results of QA can be used to validate the
mathematical model of the electricity demand forecasting in each service area transmission that
observed.
C. Quantitative Approach
In the quantitative approach, historical data collection of electricity demand in the spatial
unit that observed is conducted. Additionally, it also collected a number of historical data of
variables on macro and microeconomics which in theory could affect electricity demand in
spatial unit that observed. At the stage of the analysis in quantitative approach, deep analysis is
conducted to determine macroeconomic and micro economic variables that surely affects

electricity demand in spatial unit that observed. PCA (principal component analysis) is used for
such purposes.
PCA is a concept based on the concepts of linear algebra and geometry of algebra. The goal
of PCA is to compute the most meaningful basis to re-express a noisy data set. The hope is that
this new basis will filter out the noise and reveal hidden structure. Thus, PCA is about finding
relationship whole sets of variables and finding the strength of those relationship. PCA is used
in quantitative approach of MDSA because PCA is a simple, non-parametric method with
minimal effort to reduce a complex data set to a lower dimension. In simple, PCA can be
expressed as a data reduction technique. Specific data, y, is expressed as a function of a set of
data, a, b, c, d and so on. Data y are dependent variables, while the data a, b, c, and d and so on
are independent variables. There is a possibility that there is a correlation between the
independent variables. Such correlations are called coupling or noise. By using PCA, coupling
and noise can be avoided, then intact function that fully indicates the function between the
dependent variable y with the independent variables a, b, c, d and so on can be obtained.
Hypothetically, in the formation of the spatial unit s, can be stated that in each spatial unit,
independent variables that influence electricity demand is unique.PCA assist selecting
independent variables which significantly affecting electricity demand.
There are two steps in determining the main driver variables at both spatial units,
following: (1).Variables which hypothesized affect electricity demand in both spatial unit
defined base on references, (2). Selection of significant variables affect electricity demand
using principal component analysis (PCA).
Generally, variables that affect the electricity demand in each sector are different. Variables
thought to affect the electricity demand at each sector in Indonesia is shown in Table 2. These
variables are based on the assumptions used in the modeling of electricity demand projections
by Stoll [24].

PCA is non-parametric approach which relies on large N series to get consistent estimates.
In this step, large N series of dependent variables analyzed to get common factors.
In general, the mathematical model has general equation following:
yt = α pt + β qt + …+ γ rt (1)
Where, y = electricity demand in year-t; p,q,r = variables affect electricity demand in year-
t;α, β, γ = coefficient. As explain before, the goal of principal component analysis is to identify

197
the most meaningful basis to re-express a data set. The hope is that this new basis will filter out
the noise and reveal hidden structure. The explicit goal of PCA is to determine: “the dynamics
are along the x-axis.” In other words, the goal of PCA is to determine that ˆx, i.e. the unit basis
vector along the x-axis, is the important dimension [8].
Assuming the independent variables X, P, Q and so on are a set of data, then equation (1)
can be transformed into the form of a matrix V (n x p) which satisfies the equation (2):
Y=

after maximize the variance of the projection of the observations on the Y variables as

The matrix C = Var (X) is the covariance matrix of the Xi variables, where:
C = vvcv,v……cv
,v

cv,vcvv…… vv
(4)
The direction of
δ
is given by the Eigen vector γ1 corresponding to the largest Eigen value
of matrix C. The second vector that is orthogonal (uncorrelated) to the first is the one that has
the second highest variance which comes to be the Eigen vector corresponding to the second
Eigen value. Thus, generally, if value of the correlation matrix between the dependent variable
with the independent variable being tested close to 1 then it showed a significant correlation
between them.
Another result of PCA are new variables Yi. The new variables are linear combination of
the original variables (vi) following:
Yi= ai1v1+ai2v2+…aipvp ; i=1..p (5)
The new variables Yi are derived in decreasing order of importance. They are defined as
‘principal components’. Also, equation (5) is mathematical model used to forecast electricity
demand for sector i. Established mathematical model was tested with a series of historical data.
The test is done to see whether the mathematical model can be used in electricity demand
forecasting of each sector i. Criteria used is maximum confidence level = 10%. If the
difference between the forecasting and the historical data is in the range of -10% to 10% then
the mathematical model is fit. In the research, linear model used as model.
D. Validation and Interpretation
In the early development of MDSA model, validation and interpretation of quantitative
results by qualitative results was done by comparing the results of the electricity demand
forecasting model in each transmission service area that observed. Transmission service areas
that observed which is categorized as spatial unit se by qualitative analysis will have electricity
demand forecasting model with similar forming variables. So it is with transmission service
areas which are categorized as spatial unit ss.Despite this, the variables forming electricity
demand forecasting models in spatial unit se and ss will be different.Meanwhile in
interpretation, it can be shown model of electricity demand forecasting will generalized to
every category of spatial units.

3. Case Study
Case study of MDSA was conducted in Southern Sumatera Region (SSR). The region is
one of region in Sumatera Electricity Interconnection System (SEIS). Others regions are
Central Sumatera and Northern Sumatera. There are 3 electricity subsystem in Southern
Sumatera Region. They are South Sumatera Subsystem, Bengkulu Subsystem and Lampung
Subsystem. South Sumatera Subsystem serve South Sumatera Provinces, whilst, Bengkulu
Subsystem serve Bengkulu Provinces and Lampung Subsystem serve Lampung Provinces,
respectively.
The selection of this region as a case study based on the possibility of developing electrical
power system that is still open. Moreover, SSR is a vital one in SEIS.Potential of primary
energy for electricity generation is abundant in the region.Similarly, the economic development
of the region as a buffer to economic growth in the western part of Java Island. Single line
diagram of SEIS shown in figure 2.
Figure 2. Single Line Diagram of SSR.
Figure 2 shows service area of electricity subsystem, position of power plant, transmission
and load in Southern Sumatera Region. Though the administrative area is not always equal to
the area of electricity subsystems, but in general the administrative area has similarities with
electricity subsystems.Considering the matter, then SSR can divided into 3 spatial units. The
unit spatial are South Sumatera, Bengkulu and Lampung.Documents of regional development
plan that analyzed is the document of Sumatera development plan as a whole. Selection of
development plan documents of Sumatra region is done in order to obtain an integrative
assessment of SSR positions on observations of a whole Sumatera. Observation area is
basically a subset of the parent region. SSR region which became the area of observation is a
subset of Sumatra.
MDSA approach in determining the electricity demand in SSR started with qualitative
analysis. Documents used as references to conduct qualitative analysis of spatial electricity

Regional Planning at Sumatera, (2). Document of Master Plan for the Acceleration of
Indonesian Economic Development (MP3EI) at Sumatera Corridor [16],[20]. Document
review is done to get indications that indicates whether the spatial space observed can be
categorized as se or ss. The indications are shown in table 2.
As shown on the table, indication of the center of economic activity in SSR located in
South Sumatra and Lampung. While Bengkulu serves as a supporting for center of economic
activity. Such indications can also be compared with other qualitative data. The west coast of
Sumatra is close to the line of plate collision. This area becomes the area prone to earthquakes.
While the east coast is relatively more steady. Having regard to these indications as well as
other supporting qualitative data it can be concluded South Sumatra and Lampung meet the
characteristics of spatial space se, while Bengkulu meet the spatial characteristics of spatial
space ss.

PCA simulations as quantitative approach were performed using SPSS 19.0 software. The
data used in the simulation are the data for each variable on each spatial unit. In this research,
spatial unit is province. Thus, the data used is data of South Sumatra, Bengkulu and Lampung
at long period. The source of Data are The Statistics of PLN in South Sumatera, Jambi and
Bengkulu (S2JB) and The Statistics of South Sumatera, Bengkulu and Lampung.

As shown in Table 4, independent variables v4 thought to affect the dependent variable y1
has a coefficient matrix that is close to 0. This indicates that such variable has no significant
effect on the variable y1. The results were found on South Sumatra and Lampung. Mean while,
in Bengkulu, the value of independent variables v9 close to 0, while the value of the variable v11
close to 0.5. It showed that v9has no significant effect toy3, while v11 don't have strong enough
influence on y4.
Variable of v4 which has no effect on the variable of Y1 is found in South Sumatra and
Lampung. According the results of the qualitative analysis, both of such spatial units are
grouped as a spatial unit of se. While v9 and v11 which does not have a significant effect on
each variable y3 and y4 are found in Bengkulu. Furthermore, mathematical models for the three

Table 5 and Figure 3 shown the value of Δ (Yi – Yi’). The highest one (0.1) found in the
mathematical model of electricity demand forecasting on the industrial sector at Lampung.
However, the value still meets the suitability criteria are used. It can be concluded that all the
established mathematical model of the value of the correlation coefficient matrix meets the
criteria of suitability with historical data. Thus, the mathematical model can be used to forecast
electricity demand in transmission service area that observed.
Finally, according to the result of a qualitative analysis, Bengkulu classified as spatial units
of ss. Whilst, South Sumatera and Lampung classified as spatial units of se. The forming
variables of electricity demand forecasting on South Sumatera and Lampung are similar. It is
different with forming variables of electricity demand forecasting on Bengkulu. Thus, the two
approach show the consistency between the results of the PCA as quantitative approach and the
result of QA as qualitative approach. It means results of quantitative approach is valid.Thus,
forming variables of electricity demand forecasting model in both group of such spatial units
can be used in other transmission service area.
3. Conclusions
Macro Demand Spatial Approach (MDSA) is alternative approach introduced in this study
as a spatial approach applied in transmission expansion planning. This approach meets the
characteristics of long-term forecasting as the basis for transmission planning.
MDSA model that combines qualitative analysis and principal component analysis showed
good forecasting results.It suggests that the model can be used in establishing long-term
electricity demand forecasting which based not only on quantitative aspects.
Heterogeneous properties of spatial space which served by electricity transmission system
is evidenced by the differences in the variables driver of electricity demand for each sector in
each spatial area. The driver variables of electricity demand forecasting model on main
development area are similar. Despite this, the driver variables of electricity demand
forecasting model of supporting area are different one.
