Abstr ct
In this study, the electric energy demand of Tokat province was estimated by means of
ANFIS and ARIMA techniques. Seven different forecasting experiments were implemented for the subscriber groups and the consumption of electric energy which is the
dependent variable. The electric energy demand of the province for the first six months
of the year 2011 was estimated by means of ANFIS and ARIMA techniques. The
obtained results were compared and interpreted in order to illustrate the forecasting
success of these techniques. We showed that the ANFIS is more appropriate than the
ARIMA in point of the forecasting of electric consumption.

Introduction
Nowadays, energy is an important source of life. By entering into the life of mankind in 1880s, the electric energy gradually became an indispensable part of modern
life and industry (Şekerci Öztura, 2007).
In order to generate the electric energy, which is a secondary energy source, the
support of primary energy sources is needed. Electric energy is widely used in many
fields, and a large part of energy resources for the benefit of the people are converted
into electric energy (Demir, 1968). The electric energy demand has been continuously increasing in parallel with the growing population, urbanization, industrialization, technologic deployment, and enhancement of welfare.
The spread of the usage fields of electric energy which is one of the most important
parts of all types of economic activities increases the electric energy demand. Also,
since the distribution network provided a great deal of the electric energy of even the
smallest residential areas, the share of electric energy in the total energy consumption increased (Kılıç, 2006).
The province of Tokat is geographically located between 39-51, 40-55 North latitudes and 35-27, 37-39 East longitudes, in the inner side of middle Black Sea part
of Black Sea Region. Covering the 1.3% of mainland Turkey, elevation from the sea
level of the province is 623m and surface area of it is 9.958km² (Governorship of
Tokat, 2006). There are 12 districts of Tokat province including with the central district¹. Historical periods of the province consist of Hattie, Hittite, Phrygian, Med,
Persian, Alexander the Great, Roman, Byzantine, Arabian, Danishmend, Anatolian
Seljuk, Mongolian, Ilkhanid, Ottoman Governments and Emperors (Provincial
Department of Environment And Foresty of The Governorship of Tokat, 2007:1).
The province of Tokat became a province with the proclamation of the republic in
1923 (Turkish Statistical Institute, 2010:10). By 2010 the population of the province is 550.703 (Turkish Statistical Institute, 2010).
The province has a wide potential of both agriculture and other sectors (such as tourism). In the economic structure of the industry, agriculture, livestock sector plays
an important role. Particularly in the food industry, rock and land-based industries,
forest products industry and in recent years, textile weaving and garment sector is
the backbone of the economy in Tokat (Provincial Department of Environment
And Foresty of The Governorship of Tokat, 2007:130).

A comparison of ANFIS and ARIMA techniques in the forecasting of electric energy consumption
of Tokat province in Turkey
Electric energy was firstly provided in the city center of Tokat in 1935 by the Hydroelectric power plant which was built on Aksu for the city lightening. This power
plant consists of 2 tribunes with 175 horsepower (HP), and each tribune operates
by 230 m³ water passing through the water channel. The power plant provided
electric energy of 135 kWh for 1580 subscribers. However, the electricity production was insufficient for the city. Because of Almus Hydroelectric power plant
built in 1966, Tokat had continuously the electric energy, and still it provides the
electric energy of the city. Besides, transmission lines were renewed and electric energy of every part of the city was provided by using 18 transformers (Governorship
of Tokat, 2006). The installed power plant in Tokat consists of Almus, Köklüce,
Ataköy Hydroelectric power plants within Tokat. Almus Hydroelectric power plant
became operational in 1966 and Number of Unit – Power is 3X9 MW and its
installed power is 27 MWAnnual production of the plant is 100 GWh. Köklüce
entered service in 1998 and Number of Unit – Power is 2X46 MW and its installed
Power is 90 MW. Annual production of the power plant is 588 GWh (Electricity
Generation Corporation, 2011). The construction of Ataköy Hydroelectric power
plant dam was completed in 1977. Having 5.5 MW Power, its annual production is
8 GWh (VIII. Regional Directorate of State Hydraulic Works, 2011).
In this study, electric energy demand are estimated by Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy
Inference System (ANFIS) and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA)
techniques by using the electric energy consumption data of Tokat province in the
time of period between January 2002 and December 2010. Matlab 7.04 package
program is used for the ANFIS model and Minitab 14.0 package program is used
for the ARIMA model.
Aim
This study aims at contributing to the planning of supply by estimating electric
demand in the future. The demand for electric energy was forecasted in Tokat province by means of the ANFIS and the ARIMA models. The generation planning of
electric energy is very important because it cannot be stored, and therefore must be
consumed shortly after its generation. If these kind local studies were generalized
into all country, it helps the supply planning and provides a more effective usage
of resources. Therefore we estimated the electric energy demand by ANFIS and
ARIMA models for Tokat province.

Literature
Energy consumption and demand are among the most debated topics, and many
studies have been made available in the literature. It is seen that the studies especially
focused on the causality between the electricity consumption and economic growth
and controversial results has been achieved. There are scarcely any studies on electric energy consumption and demand through ANFIS and ARIMA models. These
models are often used in engineering studies.
There are many studies in various fields by using the fuzzy logic method. In one of
them, Tufan and Hamarat (2003) analyzed the “Aggregation of The Financial Ratios
of publicly-traded companies Through Fuzzy Logic Method”.
The first detailed study examining the demand for electricity with the help of econometric models is the work of Houthakker (1951). The study includes the econometric analysis of the household electricity demand through cross-section data from
the period of 1937-1938 for 42 residential center in England. Another study was
conducted by Fisher and Kaysen. Fisher and Kaysen (1962) using time-series and
cross sectional data, examined the demand for electricity with the help of multiple
regression and analysis of covariance. Electric demand was taken up in four components, including electricity demand, household electricity demand, industrial electricity demand and the short and long period determinant of them. Accordingly,
short run is in question if the stock of electric appliances is fixed and long run is in
question if the stock is variable. In the case of industry, short run is in question if
there is an assumption that technology is invariable and long run is in question if
there is an assumption that technology is variable (Tak, 2002).
Al-Garni and Javeed Nizami (1995) developed a model of artificial neural networks
for electric energy consumption with the data from seven years such as temperature,
moisture, solar radiation and population. After the comparison of the model of
artificial neural networks with the regression model, it was revealed the model of
artificial neural networks was a better forecasting model.
Al-Garni and Abdel-Aal (1997) estimated the Electric Energy consumption for five
years on the east of Saudi Arabia for the consumption on the sixth year, developing monthly ARIMA models by using the univariate and Box-Jenkins time-series
analysis. When ARIMA models are compared to the abductive network machinelearning models, it is seen that ARIMA models needs less data and coefficient and
give better results as well.

Brown and Koomey (2002) examined the increase in electric demand in their work
named “Electric Use in California: Past Trends and Present Usage Patterns. They
took sector (settlement, commercial, industrial, agricultural and other) of electric
consumption from the previous period as data. They brought forward that there
had been a great increase in the electric demand in 1990, compared to 1980 and
that it stems from the increase in buildings and the tendencies in the building sector
(Enduse Forecasting and Market Assessment, 2011).
It can be seen that the studies on the modeling of the energy consumption and demand, which is also crucial for the economy of Turkey, accelerated in 2000s. There
are not many studies, done widely on the provincial (regional) electricity consumption and demand. State institutions and organizations of which subject of activity
is electricity became obliged to state the electricity consumption of the provinces
on their annual report on the basis of subscriber groups after “Legislation On The
Annual Reports Drawn Up By The Public Administrations” were published by the
Ministry of Finance on the Official Gazette dated 17.03.2006 and became effective on 01.01.2006 (Official Gazette, 2006). These institutions conduct studies also
on the monthly and yearly electric data which must be sent to Turkish Statistical
Institute (TÜİK) and Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (ETKB) by these
institutions even though these data changes in the ensuing years.
In the work of Terzi (1998) which analyzes the relationship between the electric
consumption and economical growth for the period of 1950-1991, the relationship between the electricity consumption and of the commerce house, industry and
household and economical growth; the long period relationship between the variables were determined through the Engle-Granger cointegration method and the
short run dynamics were analyzed through the debugging tool. It was determined
through this econometric method that the income and price elasticity were in fact
inelastic. A meaningful and two-way relationship between electricity consumption
and economical growth came along in the business and industry sector.
Sarı and Soytaş (2004) employed the technique of generalized forecast error variance
decomposition and came to the conclusion that the electricity demand and variance
in national income growth are as important as employment (Lise & Van Monfort,
2005).
Çebi and Kutay (2004) used artificial neural networks while estimating the long run
electric energy consumption and compared the results to the Box-Jenkins models
and regression technique. The results revealed that using artificial neural networks
was a good forecasting method for electric energy consumption.

In addition, we must specify the MAED (Model for Analysis of Energy Demand)
model study of Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, the most important
study that was conducted in our country, which reveals the medium and long run
general energy demand and electric energy demand in this demand.
Research Method
In this study, monthly electricity consumption data of Tokat province was used.
This data covers the period between January 2002 and December 2010. The subscriber groups consist of private houses, industry, business firms, government agencies and other subscribers. The total electricity used in agricultural irrigation, fresh
water, work-sites, temporary activities, state-owned enterprises, municipalities, internal activities, prefectures, sanctuaries, and local government lightening systems
was also included in these groups. Seven different experiments were implemented
for investigating the success of the ANFIS and the ARIMA models in the forecasting
of the total electric energy consumption of all subscriber groups.
Time Series and Box-Jenkins Forecasting Model
Time Series
A time series is simply a sequence of numbers collected in regular intervals (as day,
month and year) over a period of time (Dikmen, 2009: 227). Time series monitors
the motion of a variable in a time sequence. For example, monthly unemployment
ratio, monthly increase ratio of money supply, annual inflation ratio, monthly electric use, etc. Time series can be also used as a resource of knowledge acquisition
and a method for forecasting the future. While in the evaluation process, analysis is
important in degrading the trend, growth trend, seasonality, cyclical, and irregular
fluctuations (Bozkurt, 2007). The selection of method used for forecasting the future values depends on the estimation of purpose, type and elements of time series,
amount of data, and the length of the estimation period (Asilkan & Irmak, 2009).

Box-Jenkins Forecasting Model
Box-Jenkins method is the most widely used model for stationary time series modeling. For the implementation of Box- Jenkins method, the time series must be
stationary (with constant mean, variance and autocorrelation). If the series is not
stationary, it should be made stationary by taking the difference of a few times
(Gujarati, 2009).
Box-Jenkins method is based on the principle that each time series is a function of
past values and may only be explained by means of them. Some assumptions cannot
be applied based on the econometric models, but there is not any restrictive assumption for Box-Jenkins method (Bircan & Karagöz, 2003). In this method;
• In contrast to the regression models that explain yt with a k number of explanatory variables of x1, x2, x3,…, xk,
• The dependent variable Yt can be explained by its own past or lagged values ​​and
stochastic error terms.
The most important stage of the Box-Jenkins method is the selection of the appropriate ARMA (p, q) model by examining the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation coefficients. Experience of the researcher is very important because of this
phase is not able to determine mechanically. If the time series is not stationary,
artificial autocorrelations will prevent the model to determine. Non-stationary time
series is transformed stationary time series by logarithmic transform or taking differences.
Autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation coefficients of the distribution can be
examined with the help of graphs (autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF). When the autocorrelation coefficients are seen to
be approaching zero exponentially, AR model must be applied; while the partial
autocorrelation coefficients are realized to be approaching the same level mentioned
above, then MA model must be used; if both of these approach zero exponentially;
ARMA model must be applied in this situation.
In ARMA model, the degree of AR is determined by the number of partial autocorrelation coefficients (p), while the degree of MA is determined by the number of
autocorrelation coefficients (q) (Önder & Hasgül, 2009: 65–66).

Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS)
Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) consists of three conceptual components: fuzzy rule
base, data base and inference. In this system, the fuzzy rules and membership functions of input and output variables are determined by the user. The most important
step is to set the membership degrees of input and output variables. FIS techniques
aim at providing of significant inferences by using the linguistic rules (Ross, 2004).
Fuzzy systems do not have the skill to learn things, so they heavily depend on expert
opinion. Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), a hybrid model, was
first developed by Jang in 1993 in order to overcome this problem. This system
has combined the learning skill by artificial neural networks with inference skill of
expert opinion based FIS models (Jang, 1993). It adjusts the membership functions
of input and output variables and generates the rules related to input and output,
automatically. ANFIS can produce all the rules by using the dataset and enables
the researchers to interpret these rules. Therefore, it is the widely used model in the
studies of classification and estimation.

A comparison of ANFIS and ARIMA techniques in the forecasting of electric energy consumption

In the third layer, the main objective is to calculate the ratio of each ith rule’s firing
strength to the sum of all rules’ firing strength. Consequently, wi is taken as the
normalized firing strength
Oi3 = wi =
wi
w1 + w2
(7)
In the fourth layer, the nodes are adaptive nodes. The output of each node in this
layer is simply the product of the normalized firing strength and a first order polynomial (for a first order Sugeno model). Thus, the outputs of this layer are given by
Oi4 = wi f i = wi ( pi x + qi y + ri )
(8)
where wi is the ith node’s output from the previous layer. Parameters pi, qi and ri
are the coefficients of this linear combination and are also the parameter set in the
consequent part of the Sugeno fuzzy model.
In the fifth layer, there is only one single fixed node. This single node computes the
overall output by summing all the incoming signals as follows
f =
∑w
i
i
fi
∑w (p x + q
=
∑w

Accordingly, the defuzzification process transforms each rule’s fuzzy results into a
crisp output in this layer.
In this study, the ANFIS was trained by hybrid learning algorithm which is highly
efficient in training the ANFIS. This learning algorithm adjusts all parameters {ai, bi,
ci} and {pi, qi, ri} to construct the ANFIS output match the training data. When the
premise parameters ai, bi and ci of the membership functions are fixed, the output of
the ANFIS becomes as follows:
f = w1 f1 + w2 f 2
= w1 ( p1 x + q1 y + r1 ) + w2 ( p 2 x + q 2 y + r2 )
(10)
Where, p1 , q1 , r1 , p 2 , q 2 and r2 are the adjustable resulting parameters? The least
squares method is widely used to easily identify the optimal values of these parameters (Jang, 1993).

ARIMA and ANFIS Applications
We benefited from autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions of the related series in order to obtain ARIMA models. The appropriate models for applications
were investigated based on the monthly electric data between years 2002–2010.
After choosing the models, the monthly electric values pertaining to the period between the first half of 2010 and second half of 2011 were estimated by the models.
Then, the forecasting values relating to the second half of 2010 were compared with
the real values of the same period.
Seven different models based on the subscriber groups were tested for the investigations. They are total electric use (Model 1), electric use in private houses (Model
2), electric use in industrial organizations (Model 3), electric use in business firms
(Model 4), electric use in government agencies (Model 5), electric use in other subscriptions (Model 6), and electric use in business firms-government agencies-other
subscriptions (Model 7). In the implemented experiments, we observed that there is
no ARIMA model appropriate for Model 1 and 7.
Experiment 1.
Analysis of total energy use (Model 1)
In the construction stage of an appropriate ARIMA model related to the consumption of total energy use, we determined that the change of energy consumption versus months is non-stationary. The difference of the monthly energy series was taken
once in accordance with the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation function
graphs. When the difference was once taken, the series had got stationray character
in model validation stage. However, the ARIMA techniques generated through tests
are to pass the suitability test in order to be used for future forecastings. Thus, it is
indicated that the autocorrelation coefficients of the forecastings generated through
the ARIMA techniques show a trend of systematicity in the suitability test. Despite
all those efforts put forward, no model was detected as appropriate for this purpose.
When the ANFIS model was trained by the training dataset for 1000 iterations,
it found three rules for this experiment. The results obtained by ANFIS model are
shown in Figure 3, where the test result of the model is red line and the forecasting
of the next six month period is green line as follows:

be lasting in the next six months. The comparative results of ARIMA and ANFIS

As seen in Table 1, the ARIMA could not achieve any forecasting result. However,
when the ANFIS was tested by six-month testing dataset, its mean square error
(MSE) ratio was 40.4117. The forecasting obtained by the ANFIS for the next six
months was close to the obtained test results of the ANFIS, so it can be observed
that there was approximately a stationary case.
Experiment 2.
Analysis of the electric use in private houses (Model 2)
In the construction stage of an appropriate ARIMA model related to the consumption of electric energy use in private houses, we determined that the change of energy consumption versus months is non-stationary. The difference of the energy series is once taken in accordance with the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation
function graphs. When the difference taken, the series showed stationary haracter
in the model validation stage. As a result of the tests, ARIMA(1,1,2) was chosen as
the model.
When the ANFIS model was trained by the training dataset for 4000 iterations,
it found eight rules for this experiment. The results obtained by ANFIS model are
shown in Figure 4, where the test result of the model is red line and the forecasting
of the next six month period is green line as follows:

than the ARIMA.
Experiment 3.
Analysis of the electric use in industry (Model 3)
We experienced that the monthly energy change is originally unsuitable for the
validation of a model in the set stage of an appropriate ARIMA model to be applied in electric use in industry. After the analysis on the autocorrelation and partial
autocorrelation function graphs of the series employed in industrial electric use, the
difference was taken twice. Then, the series was made suitable for the analysis. After
a few testing, the model was selected as ARIMA (1,2,1).

than the ARIMA.
Experiment 4.
Analysis of the electric use in business firms (Model 4)
While a model related to the electric use in business firms was constructed, monthly
energy change was analyzed. But, it was determined that the series was originally unsuitable to construct an appropriate model. After the analysis on the autocorrelation
and partial autocorrelation function graphs, the series was observed to be appropriate
for an analysis stage when the difference was once taken. After a few testing, ARIMA(1,1,1) was determined to be the most appropriate model for this experiment.
When the ANFIS model was trained by the training dataset for 3600 iterations,
it found four rules for this experiment. The results obtained by ANFIS model are
shown in Figure 6, where the test result of the model is red line and the forecasting
of the next six month period is green line as follows:

Thus, it can be said that ARIMA is little more successful in the implemented experiment when compared to ANFIS.
Experiment 5.

Model testing named the others about the electric consumption of the subscriber
groups for six months was done. It was determined that the series was not appropriate to construct a model in its original. Thus, the series became appropriate after the

The series became stationary by taking the difference for once according to the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation function graphs of the related series. The
ARIMA techniques which are obtained through several experiments must pass the
compliance test to be used as an forecasting model regarding the future. In the

Conclusions
We implemented different seven experiments for estimating and analyzing electric
energy consumption in order to plan the production, transmission and distribution of electric energy and to determine the consequences of the events occurring
in the electric market. These experiments focus on the electric energy consumption
forecasting implemented by using ANFIS and ARIMA techniques including the
analyses of total energy consumption, household electric consumption, industrial
electric consumption, commerce house electric consumption, monthly electric con-

sumption in state offices, electric of the others and the electric consumption of the
commerce houses, state offices and the others. This is especially guiding key for the
investors planning the investments in the electric sector.
There has been a preparatory work for the necessary precautions regarding the
electric in Tokat, revealing the electric consumption structure of Tokat province.
The electric demand structure of Tokat regarding the previous consumption of
Tokat province and the estimated electric energy for the future has been revealed.
Although the study which was conducted through ANFIS and ARIMA techniques
in the field of electric energy consumption was conducted on regional basis, it can
be a pilot study for the extensive national and international studies on the energy
consumption.
Electric energy demands for the tested periods and the first six months of the year
2011 were estimated by using the ARIMA and the ANFIS techniques. Every forecasting experiment related to the electric consumption performed by ANFIS and
ARIMA showed that ANFIS is more successful estimator. The ARIMA was more
successful in only an forecasting experiment. In addition to this, an appropriate
ARIMA model could not have been found for two forecasting experiments. As a
result, the ANFIS is more appropriate than the ARIMA in the forecasting studies
regarding the electric consumption.
