(Application of Artificial Neural Networks Model for Forecasting Consumption of Electricity in Gezira State, Sudan (2006-2018: تطبيقات الشبكات العصبية الاصطناعية للتنبؤ باستهلاك الكهرباء في ولاية الجزيرة، السودان (2006-2018)

This paper aimed applying models of artificial neural networks to electricity consumption data in the Gezira state, Sudan for the period (Jan 2006- May 2018), and predicting future values for the period (Jun 2018- Dec 2020) by train a recurrent neural network using Quasi-Newton Sampling and using online learning. The study relied on data from the national control center. After applying artificial neural networks, The Thiel coefficient is used to confirm the efficiency of the model, and the paper recommends the use of artificial neural networks to various time series data due to their strength and Accuracy.
