| NEURAL NETWORK MODELS FOR ELECTRICITY MARKET FORECASTING (2009) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| For increasingly deregulated electricity market, accurate forecasting of electricity demand and spot price has become crucial for the independent system operators, generators and consumers. However, the exclusive features of electricity present a number of challenges for this task. This paper describes the author’s continual effort in power system forecasting studies. By using various new techniques, such as wavelet, neural network and support vector machine, different models for electricity load and price forecast have been developed, which are able to forecast at one or more time steps ahead. Case studies, using actual data from Australian National Electricity Market, have been carried out and the results are presented. In addition, comparisons with other forecasting models have shown that the proposed new methods can provide more stable and reliable performance even under the chaotic market conditions. 2 | |||||||||||||||
