Abstract

In the Spanish electricity market, after the daily market is held in which prices are set for the next day, the secondary and tertiary markets take place, which allow companies more accurate adjustment of the electricity they are able to offer. The objective of this paper is to predict the final price reached in these markets by predicting the supply curve in advance, which is the aggregate of what companies offer. First, we study a procedure to represent the supply curves, and then we consider different machine learning approaches to obtain the day-ahead supply curves for the secondary market. Finally, the predictions of the supply curves are crossed with the system requirements to obtain the expected price predictions. Histogram-Based Gradient Boosting is the best performing algorithm for predicting supply curves. The most relevant variables for the prediction are the lagged values, the daily market price, the price of gas and values of the wind recorded in the Spanish provinces.
