Forecasting of Greek Energy Market ISP2 Energy Price

Keywords: European energy market, price prediction, LSTM, DNN-LSTM, modern RNN, Time-series analysis

Description:

EnergyLive is a European power market data platform based in Greece. It aims to give investors, executives, and traders an overview of electricity market prices, mainly focusing on European electricity market data and analysis. The platform offers services including customized alerts, weekly reports with key observations, and bi-monthly reports on forecasts of Greek power prices.

The wholesale electricity market in Greece contains three separate markets that operate sequentially, which are the day-ahead market(DAM), the intra-day market(CRIDA), and the balancing market(ISP). In each of the markets, there are segmented markets depending on the time between now and the time of delivery. Our current task is to predict Greek electricity prices in balancing market 2(ISP2) using various algorithms such as machine learning and time series, given a range of inputs such as the forecasted load and renewable energy sources(RES) generation for this day. The output model can be used to optimize the dispatch of a battery storage plant on a daily basis.

Combining the characterisitics of time series and input factors, we select LSTM and DNN-LSTM architectures to forecast the energy price, which are represented by eight major energy price and indicators. We mainly simulate the price for upward automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR), which is a faster-acting reserve capacity that is needed to balance the system when there is a sudden loss of generation or demand and the price for downward balancing energy (DBE), which is additional power that is needed to balance the system when the supply of electricity exceeds the demand.
