Abstract

In a deregulated electricity market scenario, formulation of bidding strategies and investment decisions depends majorly on forecasting of Market Clearing Price (MCP). This research proposes and compares models based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks to achieve the same. Data for training and testing of the proposed models is collected from Indian Energy Exchange (IEX). Trained models are used to perform day-ahead and week-ahead predictions. Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) for each model in each case is calculated. Results show that both LSTM- and GRU-based models deliver a reasonably good overall performance with LSTM performing slightly better.
