Abstract
This paper presents short-term load forecasting models, which are developed by using fuzzy logic and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). Firstly, historical data are analyzed and weekdays are grouped according to their load characteristics. Then, historical load, temperature difference and season are selected as inputs. In general literature, fuzzy logic hourly load forecasts are tested in the range a few days or a few weeks. Unlike previous studies, the hourly load forecast is carried out for 1 year. This paper shows that fuzzy logic can give good results in very large test data sets for 1 year. Besides, for countries with large areas, the temperature data taken from only one point would lead to increase the forecasting errors. Therefore, the average of temperature for six cities having the maximum power consumption is weighted average. The mean absolute percentage errors of the fuzzy logic and ANFIS models in terms of prediction accuracy are obtained as 2.1 and 1.85, respectively. The results show that the proposed fuzzy logic and ANFIS models are capable of load forecasting efficiently and produce very close values to the actual data and are the alternative way for short-term load forecasting in Turkey.
