4. Objective
– Our goal is to study the effect of Ramadan and
religious holidays to match the consumers
behavior for better forecasting.
4
5. Literature review
– Meteorological parameters and Special days
effect.
– The effect of holidays not only influences special
days, but it also influences the previous and next
days.
5
6. Hijri calendrer
– Two main issues considered in special days:-
• working hours
• people activities
– Besides the effect of the day and its impact on
electric demand, and the temperature.
6
9. Model
– Two models are applied model 1 using ANN and
model 2 Using ANN with Fourier series to consider
• Monthly and week effects.
• Detecting seasonal pattern.
• The accumulative effect of special days.
– Two different architecture are introduced.

11. Model
– The red line represents the forecasting without
considering the effect of casual Hijri events. The
blue line gave better results than the red line.
– The effect of Ramadan (22nd of August to 20th of
Sept.) is very clear near the end of the year.

12. Results
Parameter ANN model 1 ANN model 2
RMSE(GW/H) 9.429274 0.9634765
MAE (GW/H) 5.882814 0.6359111
MAPE (%) 0.2660583 0.02835947

13. Conclusions
– In this paper, we presented the main Hijri casual
events during the Islamic calendar.
– We applied ANN model before and after including
those Hijri casual events. Using the Hijri calendar
casual events, with ANN model, for load
forecasting reduced the forecasting errors.

14. Future work
– Using more recent data.
– Applying on short term load forecasting.
– Using different scenarios.
