Two Artificial Neural Network structures, three-layered back-propagation and a recurrent neural network are designed and tested for this purpose. Predictions are done for the years 2008 to 2014. Since long-term forecasting is mainly influenced by economic factors, this study focuses on economic data. The proposed approach produces lower percent errors, especially in the recurrent neural network. The forecast results by artificial neural networks are also compared with official forecasts.en10.1080/15567240802533542info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtificial Neural NetworksEconomic FactorsLoad ForecastingTurkeyArticle53279289Q1WOS:000280161000006Q3
