Prediction of Electricity Usage with Back-propagation Neural Network

Keywords: Back-propagation Neural Network, Electricity Usage, MSE, RMSE

Abstract

The use of electricity has become a need that is increasing day by day. So it is not surprising that the problem of using electricity has attracted the attention of many researchers to research it. Electricity users make various efforts and ways to save on the use of electrical energy. One of them is saving electricity usage by electricity users using electrical energy-efficient equipment. That is why the previous research confirms the need for interventions to reduce the use of electrical energy. Therefore, this study aims to predict electricity use and measure the performance of the anticipated results of electricity use. This study uses the back-propagation method in predicting the use of electricity. This study concluded that the backpropagation architectural model with better performance is the six hidden layer architecture, 0.4 learning rate, and the Root Means Square Error (RMSE) value of 0.203424. Meanwhile, the training data test results get the best architectural model on hidden layer 8 with a learning rate of 0.3 with an RMSE performance value of 0.035811. The prediction results show that the prediction of electricity consumption is close to the actual data of actual electricity consumption.
