Modeling electricity loads in California: a continuous-time approach
Abstract
In this paper we address the issue of modeling electricity loads and prices with diffusion processes. More specifically, we study models which belong to the class of generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. After comparing properties of simulated paths with those of deseasonalized data from the California power market and performing out-of-sample forecasts we conclude that, despite certain advantages, the analyzed continuous-time processes are not adequate models of electricity load and price dynamics.
