Short-term probabilistic load forecasting is essential to power systems management and optimization of flows across transmission networks. Developing tools capable providing accurate predictions must comply with their practical implementation in short-term operations, mainly terms fast computing high efficiency. Many data-driven solutions are often unnecessarily verbose, thus making value limited. This problem occurs more frequently when multiple loads have be predicted simultaneously, as...
