Abstract
The characteristics of commodities such as
electricity, natural gas and oil mean that standard statisticsbased
pricing and prediction models that are typically applied
in financial markets cannot readily be transferred and used as
energy pricing models. Therefore, we investigate the use of
computational intelligence-based approaches for electricity
price forecasting. This paper compares two models for dayahead
electricity price forecasting, an AdaBoosted ensemble
of the Extra-Trees algorithm and a Generalized Regression
Neural Network (GRNN). In this work both forecasting
models were applied to the national electricity market of Great
Britain, the British Energy and Electricity Trading
Arrangements (BETTA). The models were evaluated using the
mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) statistic and the
results show that the GRNN yielded a comparable forecasting
error to the AdaBoosted algorithm with a significantly faster
computation time.
