Abstract
The study aims to adopt an artificial neural network (ANN) for modeling industrial energy demand in Taiwan related to the subsector manufacturing output and climate change. This is the first study to use the ANN technique to measure the industrial energy demand–manufacturing output–climate change nexus. The ANN model adopted in this study is a multilayer perceptron (MLP) with a feedforward backpropagation neural network. This study compares the outcomes of three ANN activation functions with multiple linear regression (MLR). According to the estimation results, ANN with a hidden layer and hyperbolic tangent activation function outperforms other techniques and has statistical solid performance values. The estimation results indicate that industrial electricity demand in Taiwan is price inelastic or has a negative value of −0.17 to −0.23, with climate change positively influencing energy demand. The relationship between manufacturing output and energy consumption is relatively diverse at the disaggregated level.
