Introduction
The Indian Energy GRID is maintained by POWERGRID [
18] which has the objectives of running the GRID efficiently and installing transmission lines etc... and the second one is the National Load Dispatch Center (NLDC) [
14] which concentrates on Supervision over the Regional Load Dispatch Centres, Scheduling and dispatch of electricity over inter-regional links in accordance with grid standards specified by the Authority and grid code specified by Central Commission in coordination with Regional Load Dispatch Centres, Monitoring of operations and grid security of the National Grid, etc... This research mainly focusses on this NLDC which is a Division of Ministry of Power.
Figure 1 [
15] describes the Yearly Installed Power Capacity in Delhi. The highest installed Capacity was 8,346.72 MW in Fiscal year 2016. which is responsible for sending the energy from Stations to sub-stations and to discuss and then to homes, industries, commercials, etc... As of 21-06-2023 The installed Capacity Sector-wise data [
16] gives an overview of what type of Thermal Plants which are present in Delhi and also what types of Energy resources are present in Delhi. There are 11 Thermal Stations in Delhi with 4 400KV Substations and 42 200 KV Substations [
17].
Delhi Yearly Power Statistics
To further Analyse Delhi’s Power, this paper uses the [
15] RBI’s handbook contains yearly state-wise data to analyze the Delhi v/s Whole India’s data.
Figure 2(a) gives Delhi v/s whole India’s Statewise Per-capita of Power raises to 1974.4 Kilo-Watt Hour in Delhi in 2018-2019 and in India 1115.3 Kilo-Watt Hours in 2021-2022.
Figure 2(b) gives an Availability of Power at Delhi raises to 3308 net Crore Units in 2019-2020 and 137402 net crore units in 2021-2022 for All India,
Figure 2(c) gives the Total Installed Capacity of RES Power raises to 245 Mega Watt at 2021 for Delhi and 94434 MegaWatt at 2021 for all India.
Figure 2(d) depicts the Power Requirement for Delhi has the maximum reading at 3309 net crore units in 2019-2020 and for all of India 137981 net crore units in 2021-2022.
Relation to Demand Forecasting
The correlation between these variables with the Consumption of Electricity of Delhi [
19] Now, as we speak Consumption by the consumers is based on the Maximum Demand which has been recorded per day in the National Load Dispatch Center (NLDC) As all these entities are highly correlated we push our limits to only use univariant analysis of Maximum Demand attained in the Daily data produced by the Delhi Consumers.
PM-Gati Scheme Initiative
Statistically speaking, many papers have demonstrated that Economic Factors are valuable data for Maximum Demand Forecasting. Although these findings have been successful, we present a baseline model focusing solely on one variable to capture the Auto-Correlations between days, weeks, months, and even years. This approach aims to create baseline performance models due to Seasonal Dependence. To achieve this, we employ various pre-processing techniques and utilize a selection of Machine Learning and Time Series Forecasting models that have been previously applied to create our Baseline model.
The "Integration of Ministries" initiative combines seven drivers: railways, ports, waterways, logistic infrastructure, mass transport, airports, and roads. The primary goal is to enhance connectivity and boost the competitiveness of Indian businesses. This integration is known as "Gati-Shakti," and it rests on six pillars of Connectivity for Productivity.
Comprehensiveness
Prioritization
Optimization
Synchronization
Analytical
Dynamic
Given these Pillars, we try to formalize and study the use cases which are provided for this problem Statement, "Maximum Demand Forecasting in Delhi", Here’s a case study to understand ...
Let us say that the Ministry of Steel[
20] created an initiative to increase domestic production that would lower dependence on imported Steel and would result in considerable savings of foreign exchange. As this seems reasonable, there are some pros and cons related to this one being less Foreign Exchange obviously and a con being Increased Electricity Consumption. Data explains from the Ministry of Coal to the Ministry of Power to increase the installed Capacity or Power Generation can be captured through Comprehensiveness.
As there’s an increase in demand for Electricity, the Ministry of Power tries to solve this problem but as the transparency of Ministries in PM-Gati-Shakti provides to consolidate the increase in demand like the Ministry of Railways tries to optimize routes on weekends and majorly metro trains which are in Delhi can be optimized to consolidate this increase in demand which can be captured through Prioritization, Optimization while maintaining a Holistic Approach. Note that this is a scenario that can be predicted but there will be many scenarios as possible in-order to facilitate the Maximum Demand Forecasting.
Forecasting Models
This paper develops a Time series forecasting model ARIMA which is known to be an Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average. the models which include AR, MA and ARMA, and ARIMA, and develop a model list from these regression types using the parameters. The major parameters included in the arima model are p, q, and d where p is the parameter for Auto-regressive co-efficient which says about how many days have the co-relation between today’s date.
The real-world data tends to be always non-Stationary. A signal is said to be stationary if its statistical properties like mean, standard deviation, trend, etc... doesn’t change over time. To check if the time series is stationary or not, we use Augmented-Dickey Fuller Test where the null hypothesis is "the time series contains a unit root and is non-stationary". The results of the Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test for each of the Imputation datasets are given in the below sections.
Datasets Analysis and ADF test results
The ADF test for no-imputation dataset test-statistic = -5.45 p-value = 2.55e-06 for no-imputation dataset for first difference to try to change the time-series to stationary. test-statistic = -10.403 p-value = 1.88e-18 for Second Difference, which is not suggested as the p-value is zero (over-differencing) test-statistic = -21.152 p-value = 0.0
The ADF test for Mean imputation dataset test-statistic = -5.393 p-value = 3.49e-06 for first difference to try to change the time-series to stationary. test-statistic = -10.073 p-value = 1.23e-17 for Second Difference, which is not suggested as the p-value is zero (over-differencing) test-statistic = -21.617 p-value = 0.0
The ADF test for Median imputation dataset test-statistic = -5.363 p-value = 4.042e-06, for first difference to try to change the time-series to stationary. test-statistic = -10.075 p-value = 1.223e-17 for Second Difference, which is not suggested as the p-value is zero (over-differencing) test-statistic = -21.686 p-value = 0.0

Auto Regression and Moving Average model
In time series forecasting, the autoregressive moving average model of order
, denoted as ARMA(
), is a popular approach. The ARMA(
) model combines the autoregressive (AR) model of order
p and the moving average (MA) model of order
q. The ARMA(
) model assumes that the value of the time series at a given point is linearly dependent on the previous
p values of the series and the previous
q error terms. The formula for the ARMA(
) model is as follows:
In this formula:
represents the value of the time series at time t.
c is the intercept or constant term.
are the coefficients of the autoregressive terms that capture the relationship between the current and previous values.
represent the lagged values of the time series.
are the coefficients of the moving average terms that capture the relationship between the current value and the previous error terms.
represent the lagged error terms of the time series.
is the error term at time t, which represents the random fluctuations or noise in the series.
To estimate the parameters () and the intercept (c) of the ARMA() model, various estimation techniques can be used, such as maximum likelihood estimation.
Once the parameters are estimated, the ARMA() model can be used for forecasting by substituting the lagged values and lagged error terms of the time series into the formula to predict future values.
Note that the ARMA() model assumes stationarity of the time series, and it is a flexible model that can capture both autoregressive and moving average components in the data.
Seasonal Auto-Regressive Models
The Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model is a time series forecasting model that extends the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model to account for seasonality. SARIMA combines the components of ARIMA with seasonal differencing and seasonal autoregressive and moving average terms.
The SARIMA(p, d, q)(P, D, Q, s) model is defined by the following equations:
Autoregressive (AR) component: AR(p):
Integrated (I) component: I(d): , where B is the backshift operator ()
Moving Average (MA) component: MA(q):
Seasonal Autoregressive (SAR) component: SAR(P):
Seasonal Moving Average (SMA) component: SMA(Q):
where: is the observed time series at time t is the error term (also known as the residual) at time t are the non-seasonal AR, I, MA orders, respectively are the seasonal SAR, I, SMA orders, respectively s is the seasonal period or frequency (e.g., 12 for monthly data, 4 for quarterly data, etc.) are the non-seasonal autoregressive coefficients are the non-seasonal moving average coefficients are the seasonal autoregressive coefficients are the seasonal moving average coefficients

As the Base models concluded we try to integrate more data into the PM Gati-Shakti Scheme to validate the case study given in the section of Introduction. The future work also focuses on using Reinforcement Learning for model selection for much larger data with integrated ministries in the Union Territory of Delhi.
In conclusion, our study highlights the importance of integrating more data into the PM Gati-Shakti Scheme in order to validate the findings presented in the Introduction section. The base models provide a preliminary understanding of the scheme’s potential, but further data incorporation is crucial for robust conclusions. By expanding the scope of our analysis to encompass a wider range of variables and factors, we can enhance the accuracy and reliability of the case study.
Furthermore, our future work will focus on employing Reinforcement Learning techniques for model selection. This approach is particularly relevant when dealing with a larger dataset that integrates ministries within the Union Territory of Delhi. Reinforcement Learning algorithms can effectively evaluate and select the most suitable models by considering the complex interactions and dependencies between different variables. By leveraging the power of machine learning and advanced analytics, we can make informed decisions that lead to better outcomes and enhanced efficiency within the PM Gati-Shakti Scheme.
In summary, our research emphasizes the need for data integration and the application of Reinforcement Learning in the context of the PM Gati-Shakti Scheme. These steps will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the scheme’s impact and enable evidence-based decision-making for the integration of ministries in the Union Territory of Delhi. By continuously improving our analytical approaches, we can enhance the effectiveness of the scheme and drive positive socio-economic outcomes.
