A GreyNGM(1,1,k)Self-Memory Coupling Prediction Model for Energy Consumption Prediction

Abstract

Energy consumption prediction is an important issue for governments, energy sector investors, and other related corporations. Although there are several prediction techniques, selection of the most appropriate technique is of vital importance. As for the approximate nonhomogeneous exponential data sequence often emerging in the energy system, a novel grey NGM(1,1, k) self-memory coupling prediction model is put forward in order to promote the predictive performance. It achieves organic integration of the self-memory principle of dynamic system and grey NGM(1,1, k) model. The traditional grey model's weakness as being sensitive to initial value can be overcome by the self-memory principle. In this study, total energy, coal, and electricity consumption of China is adopted for demonstration by using the proposed coupling prediction technique. The results show the superiority of NGM(1,1, k) self-memory coupling prediction model when compared with the results from the literature. Its excellent prediction performance lies in that the proposed coupling model can take full advantage of the systematic multitime historical data and catch the stochastic fluctuation tendency. This work also makes a significant contribution to the enrichment of grey prediction theory and the extension of its application span.

A proposed sustainable and digital collection and classification center model to manage e-waste in emerging economies

“…In this study, the grey model (GM (1, 1)) is used to predict the amount of collected e-waste in Turkey due to the chaotic and ambiguous system there. According to Guo et al (2015), to calculate predicted data (x30) with the GM (1,1) rolling model, the actual data set (x10, x20) is used (Guo et al , 2015). According to Liu and Forrest (2007), Köse and Taşçı (2015), Hui et al (2013) and Mostafaei (2012), in the GM (1, 1) model, every new data can be used in prediction.…”

“…Therefore, the model is more practical and understandable than other traditional prediction models when there is a chaotic system and limited data (Mostafaei and Kordnoori, 2012). The GM (1, 1) model needs only four recent sample data to make prediction (Guo et al , 2015).…”

Prediction of the Energy Consumption Variation Trend in South Africa based on ARIMA, NGM and NGM-ARIMA Models

“…The interference of random factors will often happen in the data and it will cause the final time sequence to present local nonlinear characteristics [32]. The proposal of a nonlinear grey model may make traditional linear model more adaptive, and the continuous adjustment of nonlinear coefficients will also enhance the prediction accuracy [33].…”
