Abstract
Recovery of energy from municipal solid waste (MSW) will not only add to the national electrical energy generation capacity, but it will also minimize the quantity of waste that ends up in landfill, consequently mitigating its environmental impact. This study has developed ANFIS model to forecast the energy content of waste generated in Johannesburg, South Africa, based on the physical component of the waste: plastic, paper, organics, metals, and textile as input against the energy content. The fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering technique was explored for data clustering in the ANFIS model. The model was trained with 70% of the data and 30% for validation. The performance of the network was evaluated using root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute deviation (MAD), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The RMSE, MAD, and MAPE of the model were 0.3418, 0.2692, and 7.7991, respectively. The forecast accuracy of ANFIS was compared with ANN, giving a MAPE of 7.7991 and 13.7870, respectively. ANFIS gave a better forecast accuracy and recommended for energy content prediction of municipal solid waste.
