Abstract: Load forecasting is an important tool for the operation of power systems. Quality planning of energy consumption leads to lower costs for energy retail companies. In this paper to improve electricity consumption forecasting accuracy, a new model based on an artificial neural network is proposed. A machine-learning-based load prediction model has been developed, implemented on the basis of Matlab simulation modelling. For short-term forecasting, hourly energy consumption data of the city of Nur-Sultan for the period 2018–2019 were used. In the work, the analysis of modern methods for forecasting electricity consumption, the choice of the configuration of the neural network, the determination of the input set of variables were carried out. Testing showed that the best results on the accuracy of the load forecast are achieved by a network with nonlinear autoregression and the Bayesian training principle. As a training algorithm for artificial neural networks, training algorithms for direct distribution networks were used, since they accounted for the greatest spread in forecasting loads. The simulation results illustrated that the proposed model performs well in power consumption forecasting and showed a high accuracy of the forecast.
