Application of accurate online support vector regression in energy price forecast

Energy price is the most important indicator in electricity markets and its characteristics are related to the market mechanism and the change versus the behaviors of market participants. It is necessary to build a real-time price forecasting model with adaptive capability. In this paper, an accurate online support vector regression (AOSVR) method is applied to update the price forecasting model. Numerical testing results show that the method is effective in forecasting the prices of the electric-power markets.
