Abstract:

The penetration rate of renewable energy is rising with the development of new energy system.In view of the mounting number of features and fluctuation of electricity price, a combined prediction model based on gated recurrent unit (GRU) optimized by crossover optimization algorithm(CSO)is proposed,to improve the prediction accuracy of day-ahead electricity price. Firstly, the correlation between electricity price and features is analysed by mutual information (MI) method and those features with high correlation are extracted. The electricity price sequence is decomposed into several components by variational modal decomposition (VMD). Features extracted from the superimposed components are sent to GRU prediction model for prediction. CSO algorithm can optimize some parameters of the model and avoid the model from falling into local optimum. The final predicted electricity price is obtained by superimposing the prediction results of different components. Verified by the experimental data of Nordpool, a power market leader in the Nordic region, the proposed prediction method is more accurate than others.
