Analysis and exploring the impact of weather factors on electricity consumption in the state of Bihar, India

This research article presents a comparison of the characteristics of power demands for the state of Bihar, India, and examines its probable relationship with the weather variable factors. In fact, weather plays a key role in alerting the power demand of any area as it completely changes the load pattern. Because of that, a lot of parameters such as voltage, frequency, and power are regulated as per the demand, making the generators very responsive during the block times so as to maintain the load. Temperature and rainfall have been found to play a very important role in regulating the demand for energy in the state. We find that the state of Bihar's power system is growing rapidly, with peak-demand increases of up to 6.6 GW due to electric heating in 2021–2022.
