Forecasting next-day electricity prices with Hidden Markov Models

Next-day electricity prices forecasting is essential to consumers and producers. Due to the stochastic characteristics of the electricity price time series, a novel model of electricity price forecasting is presented based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The factors impacting the electricity price forecasting are discussed. The proposed approach is utilized in an electricity market, the results show the effectiveness.
