In this paper we assess the short-term forecasting power of different time series models in the electricity spot market. However, instead of evaluating point predictions we concentrate on interval forecasts. The latter are specifically important for risk management purposes where one is more...

We investigate the forecasting power of different time series models for electricity spot prices. The models include different specifications of linear autoregressive time series with heteroscedastic noise and/or additional fundamental variables and non-linear regime-switching TAR-type models....

In this paper we address the issue of modeling and forecasting electricity loads. We apply a two-step procedure to a series of system-wide loads from the California power market. First, we remove the weekly and annual seasonalities. Then, after analyzing properties of the deseasonalized data we...
