Accurate system marginal price and load forecasts play a pivotal role in economic power dispatch, system reliability and planning. Price forecasting helps electricity buyers and sellers in an energy market to make effective decisions when preparing their bids and making bilateral contracts. Despite considerable research work in this domain, load and price forecasting still remains to be a complicated task. Various uncertain elements contribute to electricity price and demand volatility, such as changes in weather conditions, outages of large power plants, fuel cost, complex bidding strategies and transmission congestion in the power system. Thus, to deal with such difficulties, we propose a novel hybrid deep learning method based upon bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) and a multi-head self-attention mechanisms that can accurately forecast locational marginal price (LMP) and system load on a day-ahead basis. Additionally, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), a data-driven algorithm, is used for the extraction of hidden features from the load and price time series. Besides that, an intuitive understanding of how the proposed model works under the hood is demonstrated using different interpretability use cases. The performance of the presented method is compared with existing well-known techniques applied for short-term electricity load and price forecast in a comprehensive manner. The proposed method produces considerably accurate results in comparison to existing benchmarks.INDEX TERMS Deep learning, energy markets, ensemble empirical mode decomposition, multi-head self-attention, short-term load and price forecasting, kalman smoothing, model interpretability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
