Abstract

Existing energy markets are evolving into competitive structures. Competitive structures dictate precise forecasting of next-day prices. Hence, next-day electricity price forecasting models are presented in this survey. Studies on next day electricity price forecasting are categorized as time-series methods, simulation and game-theory based methods. Considering the existence of explanatory variables and domain (time or frequency) of models, a new taxonomy is defined. Applications and theoretical improvements on forecasting of next day’s electricity price are presented. Different approaches are also highlighted to show their effects on tackling the forecasting issues and suppressing the disadvantages of classical methods.
