Abstract
his paper highlights on different models of load estimating and the factors affecting the load. Various methods were discussed on forecasting the minimum and maximum load demand for the Kingdom of Bahrain; these methods are linear, exponential and polynomial. Using the three methods help to find the suitable models. Under the calculation of the load forecast, it has been mentioned some important parameters affecting the estimated loads which are mainly minimum and maximum loads, and their variation with the population. The article is prepared on the basis of data collection in the Kingdom of Bahrain. It concludes that the linear is the most suitable and efficient one in the research.
