Abstract

A hybrid neural network-based method is presented to predict day-ahead electricity spike prices in a deregulated electricity market. First, prediction of day-ahead electricity prices is carried out by a neural network along with pre-processing data mining techniques. Second, a classifier is used to separate the forecasted prices into normal and spike prices. Third, a second neural network is trained over spike hours with selected features and is used to forecast day-ahead spike prices. Forecasted spike and normal prices are combined to produce the complete day-ahead hourly electricity price forecasting. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve the forecasting accuracy.
