Abstract

We investigate the problem of short-term prediction of the free market price for electricity using various types of forecast models. A transition is made from considering traditional regression and autoregressive models to the proposed combined multivariate models, which also include the time trend and dummy variables. The combined forecast models have been constructed using dedicated statistical software packages. Comparison of the level of accuracy of the predicted values of the market electricity price obtained by different models has not revealed any advantages from the use of combined multivariate regression models. However, the use of the latter permits one to assess the influence of exogenous factors on the predicted variable and can be a fundamental advantage when choosing the forecast model type.
