Popis: Power generation companies, which participate in the electricity trading mechanism, need to determine optimal capacity bidding strategy to maximize their operational profit in Korea. Since the Price-setting Power Generation Schedule determines the profit of power generators, it is important to predict Price-setting Scheduled Energy during the trading day before the bidding phase. We propose a methodology for predicting the Pricing-setting Scheduled Energy from the power exchange without optimizing it. Instead of simulating the planning process, machine learning algorithms are applied and compared in the process of predicting the Pricing-setting Scheduled Energy. The input variables consist of seasonal and price information including calendar, fuel cost, and system marginal price. Three categories of machine learning (ML) algorithms including single, bagging and boosting approaches are implemented and tested to compare their performances. The computational experiments show that ML algorithms with price variable are shown to be better in terms of the considered measures. In addition, boosting approach is more effective than single and bagging approaches.
