Applications for Normal Weather
• Energy & Demand Forecasts.
• Energy & Demand Growth Rates.
• Flat Rate Pricing.
• Demand Side Management Program Evaluation/Assessment.

Defining Normal Weather
• NOAA 30-year Average
• Self-Defined Historical Period Average
• NOAA Typical Meteorological Year (TMY)
• Rank & Average Method
Pros & Cons:
• Averaging methods good for energy forecasting, but lack temperature extremes necessary for demand forecasting.
• TMY provides temperature variations day to day, but still may not contain the extremes.

Conclusion
• Rank and average method produces a normal profile appropriate for capturing extreme weather conditions.
• Seasonal or Annual ranking is preferable than monthly ranking to determine typical extreme temperatures.
• Using the period average as reference year is preferable over other selection methods.
• it captures the peak temperature on the same day as period average.
• It reduces the volatility from day to day across the year.
