Samenvatting	Power flow analysis, also called load flow study, is a computational method that determines the steady-state voltage, current, and power distribution across all buses in an electrical power system. Developed by Ward and Hale in 1956, it is fundamental to power system planning, operation, and optimization.	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.
