☍   Overview

GME operates in power, gas and environmental markets. It is the exchange place for electricity and natural gas spot trading in Italy. In the power market platform, producers and purchasers sell and buy wholesale electricity. There is an auction for every hour of the day.

Forecasting this supply function could be interesting for every energy producer.

Our objective is to forecast each time series in order to obtain an estimated supply function for future time (1-hour, 24-hours, 168-hours).

example of time series forecasting

To do this Reduced Rank Regression (RRR) and Long short-term memory neural nets (LSTM) are used, in order to compare a pure statistical method with machine learning technique.

Dataset exploration, data preprocessing and LSTM models are executed using Python and all the code is available in the PyScripts folder while RRR models are made using R and are available in the Rscripts folder.
