Thesis project on forecasting german (epex spot) electricity prices

Primary LanguageR

Introduction

This repo holds data and forecasts related to my master thesis on forecasting the epex spot electricity price, and a slightly updated version of the thesis.

In addition, it holds a short follow-up study which expands the forecast results to new 2015 data.

master-thesis

Holds old data and forecasts related to the original thesis.

follow-up-study

Holds updated data including 2015. Furthermore, I included forecasts and working code snippets for running the models (give me a heads up if they don't work).

About

During my studies I worked for an electricity trading company where I gained some knowledge of German electricity markets. The main motivation for making this repo available, was to distribute some of that domain knowledge to researchers interested in this field.

I learned R during the project, so most code is not very neatly written. I hope you can look past that. As always: I take no responsibility for the correctnes of the information in this repository.

Lastly, after finishing my studies I started working in another industry, so no further updates are likely. So long and thanks for all the fish :)
