Using Artificial Neural Network Techniques for Prediction of Electric Energy Consumption

Due to imprecision and uncertainties in predicting real world problems, artifi- cial neural network (ANN) techniques have become increasingly useful for modeling and optimization. This paper presents an artificial neural network approach for forecasting elec- tric energy consumption. For effective planning and operation of power systems, optimal forecasting tools are needed for energy operators to maximize profit and also to provide maximum satisfaction to energy consumers. Monthly data for electric energy consumed in the Gaza strip was collected from year 1994 to 2013. Data was trained and the proposed model was validated using 2-Fold and K-Fold cross validation techniques. The model has been tested with actual energy consumption data and yields satisfactory performance.
