dc.description.abstractThis study aims to make a comparative analysis of electricity consumption forecast using artificial intelligence (AI) and statistical models. In order to reduce the current deficits of countries, it is of great importance to predict the future electricity consumption amount and plan the power plant capacities accordingly. Electricity is an energy source that is extremely difficult to store when used in sectors such as industry and housing. Therefore, the electricity produced must be consumed immediately without causing energy losses and waste. In this context, ensuring the balance between electricity production and consumption can correctly contribute to the management of the current deficit by increasing economic efficiency. In the current study, Türkiye's hourly electricity consumption data between 2016 and 2024 were examined. These data were transformed into a 108-month consumption data set. Seven different models, namely Auto-ARIMA, Holt-Winters, Theta, ETS, TBATS, NNETAR and MLP, were used in the analyses. Among the models, NNETAR and MLP are AI based, and the others are statistical-based models. In this way, the effectiveness of different model types in electricity consumption estimations was compared. In this study, the Auto-ARIMA model stood out with a 3.77% MAPE error rate. When such studies are considered within the framework of countries' energy policies, they can make a significant contribution to reducing the current deficit of the country's economy. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the Auto-ARIMA model should be taken into consideration when making estimates on how many Megawatt power plants should be built in order to meet future energy needs in shaping energy policies in Türkiye.
