Aripriharta Introduction Electricity is a basic necessity for modern society in all walks of life. From those living in remote villages to those living in urban areas. Therefore, electrical energy is very important for the sustainability of human life. Electric power will affect national development. In terms of service, the electric power system should be able to meet the demand of society with prosperity and reliability. Prosperous means that the power system can provide prosperity to the whole society, and a reliable power system can satisfy customer service in terms of quality and quantity. The service can be well realized if the system design, system development, system implementation and maintenance of the power system are in accordance with the applicable electrical standards to support the electrical energy needs. Therefore. PLN has to design an additional supply of electricity capacity according to the needs of the community. In electricity system reliability, power demand forecasting is needed to estimate how much electrical energy value needs to be generated to serve the load and distributed to the After carrying out field data analysis, it can estimate the future needs of the If the forecast is incorrect, there will be insufficient electrical power distributed to the community in an area. Therefore, forecasting electric power using the trend method and Monte Carlo simulation is expected to provide the best forecasting results. The aim of this study is to forecast the demand for electricity for the community and the connected load at PLN UP3 Kediri using the trend method and Monte Carlo simulation.

Aripriharta 7 Forecasting accuracy The level of forecasting accuracy in time series can be seen with 3 . measures, namely Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD). Mean Square Deviation (MSD) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The best method is the one that gives the lowest MAD. MSD and MAPE values. The results of the three indicators, both Linear Trend and Quadratic Trend methods, are shown in Table 17. Table 17. The Measure of Forecasting Accuracy Simulasi Monte Carlo MAD MSD MAPE 1,136 0,938 0,794 Based on accuracy measures, the Monte Carlo simulation method produces smaller MAD Size Trend Linear Quadratic Trend and MAPE indicator values than the linear trend and quadratic trend methods. At the same time, the MSD of the quadratic trend method is the smallest among the linear movement and Monte Carlo simulation methods. Thus, it can be concluded that the Monte Carlo simulation method is better than the linear trend and quadratic trend methods in predicting the long-term installed power in PLN UP3 Kediri. However, the accuracy of the Monte Carlo prediction value depends on the random numbers obtained, which can vary between researchers and between times, so the use of the trend method can be considered. The accuracy of the long-term electricity demand forecast is very important for PLN. The accuracy of the forecast also allows PLN to estimate how much electricity should be produced accurately and to anticipate the shortage of installed capacity well in Based on the MAD and MAPE indicators, the Monte Carlo simulation method is better at forecasting long-term electricity demand. However, based on the MSD indicator, the quadratic trend method is the best. Previous research conducted by Purnama . used the quadratic trend method better than the linear trend to predict the long-term electricity demand of the household sector in East Java UID. The prediction results in Purnama's research . are very close to the actual value: the MAD value of 52. MSD of 3,884. 45 and MAPE of In this study, the MAD is 1,660 using the same method, the MSD is 3,999,195, and the MAPE is 0. A Naizatul Zainul Rofiqi. Cahyo Bagaskoro. Sujito. Langlang Gumilar. Aripriharta This research shows that Monte Carlo simulation is better than a linear trend and quadratic trend method to predict the amount of installed power at PLN UP3 Kediri. Afinda et al. carried out predictions using 3 . methods, namely: linear trend, quadratic trend and exponential trend. The results of Afinda et al. 's . research show that the quadratic trend method is the best among the three. There are few Monte Carlo simulation methods for electricity forecasting, so comparisons with this research cannot be used. Tuzunturk et al. conducted a Monte Carlo simulation to forecast longterm water demand and found that the simulation was consistent with the actual. The Monte Carlo simulation method is not based on modeling but on random number simulation, so that it may differ between researchers and periods. Conclusion The results obtained from the MAD and MAPE Monte Carlo simulation method is better. In contrast. MSD quadratic trend method is better, so it can be concluded that the Monte Carlo simulation method is better at predicting long-term electricity demand in UP3 Kediri. Of course, considering the quadratic trend method will be better for longterm forecasts. Using the quadratic trend method, long-term electricity demand can be predicted using the equation: ycUyc = 138691 6709 ycu yc 231 ycu yc 2 By 2031, the electricity demand will be 349,553 KW, with an average annual growth rate of 4. 85 percent. PLN UP3 Kediri will use the results of this study to estimate the long-term power demand in the Kediri area so that PLN management can also prepare long-term power supply estimates. References
