Abstract

Developing an accurate forecasting model for electricity demand plays a vital role in maximising the efficiency of the planning process in the power generation industries. The time series data of electricity demand in Malaysia is highly volatile with seasonal characteristics. This study aims to evaluate the forecasting performance of the seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model with GARCH for weekly maximum electricity demand. The weekly maximum electricity demand data (in megawatt, MW) from 2005 to 2016 has been used for this study. The results show that SARIMA(1, 1, 0)(0, 1, 0)52−GARCH(1, 2) with generalized error distribution (GED) is the most appropriate model for forecasting electricity demand due to its parsimonious characteristic with low values of root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) which are 644.1828, 523.8380 and 3.13%, respectively. The MAPE value of the proposed model which is less than 5% indicates that the SARIMA − GARCH model is relatively good in forecasting electricity demand for the case of Malaysia data. In conclusion, the proposed model of SARIMA with GARCH has great potential and provides a promising performance in forecasting electricity demand with seasonal highly volatile characteristics.
