Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electricity price forecasting technology, specifically to a method, equipment, and storage medium for long-term electricity price forecasting in the electricity spot market. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, forecasts for electricity spot clearing prices mainly focus on market simulation and data-driven methods.
[0003] Currently, existing technologies mainly have the following problems: Market simulation methods attempt to reconstruct the physical operating state of the power grid to derive prices by constructing complex power supply and demand optimization models. However, this method is highly dependent on high-precision data such as the entire network topology, node voltage, and the private declaration price curves of each generating unit. When facing long-term forecasts spanning up to one year, not only does the amount of computation increase exponentially, but the inability to obtain the bidding behavior of competing entities in future years also leads to gaps in forecast accuracy.
[0004] Data-driven approaches utilize various artificial intelligence algorithms to uncover historical electricity price patterns. While they possess strong nonlinear fitting capabilities, their nature as black-box models prevents them from reflecting the intrinsic supporting effects of installed capacity structure adjustments, policy boundary evolution, and the physical constraints of the power system on electricity price formation.
[0005] Existing forecasting technologies struggle to effectively balance the coupling between physical operational constraints and market game behavior, leading to severe deviations in electricity price forecasts under extreme conditions such as extreme loads and difficulties in peak shaving.
