Abstract
The paper deals with the prediction of electricity demand, using data from smart meters obtained in defined time steps. We propose the modification of ensemble learning method called Dynamic Weighted Majority (DWM). The data are represented by data streams. According to our experiments, the proposed solution offers favorable alternative to current solutions. We also focus on the comparison of proposed ensemble method with single predictions used in the model.
