Abstract

High price fluctuations have a direct impact on electricity market. Thus, accurate and plausible price forecasts have been implemented to mitigate the consequences of price dynamics. This paper proposes two techniques to deal with the Electricity Price Forecasting (EPF) problem. Firstly, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model is used to predict the EPF. Secondly, a principle component analysis model is used for the feature extraction. We have conducted simulations to prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which show that CNN based approach outperforms the multilayer perceptron model.
