Description
Summary:Accurate energy consumption forecasting is of critical importance, as it enables governments, industries, and individuals to effectively plan for energy supply and demand, thereby reducing the risks associated with both oversupply and shortages. While prior research has explored various forecasting models, relatively few have specifically addressed the challenges of seasonal forecasting under multivariate conditions. To bridge this gap, this paper proposes a novel model—the Discrete Nonlinear Grey Bernoulli Model (DNGBM). At the heart of DNGBM is a set of dynamic parameters specifically designed to capture seasonal variation, making the model well-suited for periodic energy consumption patterns. The model also introduces nonlinear parameters that broaden its representational capacity, thereby enhancing modeling flexibility and accuracy. This dual enhancement enables DNGBM to outperform traditional grey models in both predictive precision and adaptability across diverse energy forecasting scenarios. In the two provided cases, the new model's average results for MAPE, MAE, MSE, and R2 are 3.664 %, 65.596, 11182.902, and 0.952, respectively, outperforming other competing models, which validates its effectiveness.
