• Abstract: Accurate day-ahead electricity price forecasting is essential for residential welfare, yet current methods often fall short in forecast accuracy. We observe that commonly used time series models struggle to utilize the prior correlation between price and demand-supply, which, we found, can contribute a lot to a reliable electricity price forecaster. Leveraging this prior, we propose a simple piecewise linear model that significantly enhances forecast accuracy by directly deriving prices from readily forecastable demand-supply values. Experiments in the day-ahead electricity markets of Shanxi province and ISO New England reveal that such forecasts could potentially save residents millions of dollars a year compared to existing methods. Our findings underscore the value of suitably integrating time series modeling with economic prior for enhanced electricity price forecasting accuracy.

  This paper undertakes a comprehensive investigation of electricity price forecasting methods, focused on the Irish Integrated Single Electricity Market. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate and compare the performance of various forecasting models. The paper demonstrates that the daily EU Natural Gas price is a more useful feature for electricity price forecasting in Ireland than the daily Henry Hub Natural Gas price.

  We present a first study of Bayesian forecasting of electricity prices traded on the German continuous intraday market. For validation we use the exceedingly volatile electricity prices of 2022, which have hardly been the subject of forecasting studies before. We challenge the declared gold standard of using LASSO for feature selection in electricity price forecasting by presenting strong statistical evidence that OMP leads to better forecasting performance.

  Power system stability calls for a constant balance between production and consumption. The rapid expansion of intermittent renewable energy sources is not offset by the costly increase of electricity storage capacities. There is a shift from the relatively parsimonious econometric (or statistical) models towards more complex and harder to comprehend. Case studies compare profits from scheduling or trading strategies based on price forecasts obtained from different models.

We show we can reduce the mean absolute error by 30% using an online algorithm when compared to the best offline algorithm. We also show that large errors in prediction accuracy have a disproportionate error on investments made over a 17-year time frame.
