خلاصه	Load forecasting predicts future electrical demand on power systems across various time horizons: minutes to hours (short-term), days to weeks (medium-term), and months to years (long-term). Accurate forecasting is essential for economic dispatch, unit commitment, and system reliability. Methods range from classical statistical regression to modern machine learning approaches.	Harmonic distortion analysis quantifies the deviation of voltage or current waveforms from sinusoidal shape due to nonlinear loads. Using Fourier decomposition, engineers separate the waveform into its fundamental frequency and harmonic components (integer multiples of 50 or 60 Hz). Harmonic analysis is critical for assessing power quality and designing filters in modern power systems with high penetration of nonlinear devices.
