The work in this article uses artificial neural networks and support vector machine to forecast electricity consumption in an industrial facility. The main objective is to show that such a problem should be treated with a contextual approach that identifies the most adequate technic in each moment for a single building, contrary to the previous works in the literature that compare the accuracy of each method for the complete data set representing aggregated loads. 72 different algorithms have been implemented and tested. After that, the three most suitable ones are selected in order to support the automated decisions of the best algorithm according to the context. In this way, the implemented methodology finds the best method for the prediction of each 5 min. It can be later used to update the production planning in the industrial facility. It also discussed the size of historical data and the most suitable learning parameters for each method. The case study includes test data for one week and more than one year of training data.
