Structural modeling of electricity spot prices, using a residual load and coal generation cost approach

Abstract
This thesis aims at evaluating a couple of recently developed strategies for modeling the spot price of electricity. We use a structural modeling approach to model the fundamental behavior of total system load combined with separate models for wind- and solar energy infeed, connected to a number of supply functions to estimate the spot price from the system load. Furthermore we also evaluate the models performances when estimating prices of quarterly power futures and investigate the coal generation costs impact on spot prices over time, using amongst other things, an Artificial Neural Network approach.
