Abstract

The purpose of this seminar is to provide an advanced understanding of modeling and forecasting methods in energy markets, esp. concerning probabilistic forecasting. The students apply sophisticated forecasting methods to real data (e.g. electricity or natural gas prices, electricity load, wind and solar power production) using the statistical Software R. They write a report and present their findings.

The focus of the seminar is placed especially on probabilistic forecasting with different applications in e.g. electricity price and electricity load or wind and solar power production forecasting. A particular attention is given to regression-based modeling methods for electricity market data.

Lehrinhalte
  1. Introduction to probabilistic forecasting
  2. Forecasting evaluation in probabilistic forecasting frameworks
  3. Applications to energy market data
