ML models show difficulty forecasting volatile Australian electricity prices

A new study benchmarks six machine learning models for short-term electricity price forecasting in Australia's National Electricity Market. The research highlights significant challenges due to high price volatility, irregular patterns, and structural changes in the market. Tree-based models like GBRT demonstrated superior performance in price prediction compared to LSTMs and SVR, achieving an R-squared value of 0.88, though overall prediction accuracy remains low with high error rates. AI

IMPACT Highlights the difficulty of applying current ML models to volatile energy markets, suggesting hybrid models and data augmentation for future improvements.
