Abstract: This paper aims to develop a hybrid model for forecasting electrical energy consumption of households based on a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm associated with the Grey and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). This paper proposes a new Grey-ANFIS-PSO model that is based on historical data from smart meters in order to estimate and improve the accuracy of forecasting electrical energy consumption. This accuracy will be characterized by coefficients such as Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The PSO will allow to optimally design the Neuro-fuzzy forecasting. This method is implemented on Cameroon consumption data over the 24-years period in order to forecast energy consumption for the next years. Using this model, we were able to estimate that electricity consumption will be 1867 GWH in 2028 with 0.20158 RMSE and 0.62917% MAPE. The simulation results obtained show that implementation of this new optimized Neuro-fuzzy model on consumption data for a long period presents better results on prediction of electrical energy consumption compared to single artificial intelligence models of literature such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN).
