An artificial intelligence and sensitivity analysis-based strategy for forecasting marginal price of electricity
摘要
One of the most important resources for industries worldwide is electricity. As a result, electricity's final price affects the economy. The weather, geography, and operational factors affect the final electricity price. As a result, forecasting and assessing the sensitivity of parameters of the marginal price of power is necessary for managing and planning energy output. In this study, it was paid to predict the final power energy price using the machine learning (ML) techniques eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), CatBoost, and Histogram Gradient Boosting Regression (HGBR). The Archimedes optimization algorithm (ArchOA) and the hunger game search were used to optimize the hyperparameters of each of the three approaches. Subsequently, three basic prediction models and six hybrid prediction models were compared. The results demonstrated that using hybrid models instead of the basic models greatly lowered error value, improved precision, and promptly forecasted. As a result, the performance and accuracy of the XGBoost-ArchOA are the best. The findings of the sensitivity analysis also demonstrate that the price of energy is significantly impacted by fuel prices.
