Abstract

The prediction of nodal electricity price (NEP) is a primary step to be done before the bidding process starts in the actual market environment. NEP plays a significant role for the efficient working of the electrical system. NEP follows a common trend as during peak hours when the load is high the price will also be high similarly during off-peak-load times the price will be lower and common to all the node. Thus, accurate forecasting of the NEP can help electricity generation companies to be more proactive in the wholesale electricity market to maximize its overall benefits. In this paper, exponential smoothing (ES), and holt’s exponential smoothing (HES) have been utilized for forecasting the NEP. Furthermore, a comparative analysis between ES and HES has been done considering several alpha values and several trends. The model evaluation and the forecasting performance have been tested using different parameters of ES, and HES techniques such as Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Akaike Information Criterion Corrected (AICc), Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC). The performance of the proposed technique has been authenticated efficaciously on average nodal real-time price data collected from ISO New England (BOSTON Zone).
