Flagship project

DK2 Electricity Price Forecasting & Trading Research

24-hour-ahead electricity price forecasting for the Danish DK2 bidding zone.

Data

Prices, weather, load, wind, solar, renewables, and net load.

Modeling

Baselines, XGBoost, and PyTorch LSTM benchmark.

Validation

Leakage-aware temporal splits and expanding-window walk-forward evaluation.

Decision layer

Forecast-to-signal logic, PnL, drawdown, VaR, and loss-limit analysis.

Engineering

Modular Python for features, training, validation, backtesting, and risk checks.

Backtest disclaimer

Simplified research backtest; excludes full frictions, liquidity, transaction costs, imbalance costs, and operational constraints.

Research workflow

From data to risk-aware decisions

  1. 01

    Market & weather data

    Align price, load, generation, and weather signals.

  2. 02

    Feature engineering

    Build lags, calendar features, renewables, and net load.

  3. 03

    Forecasting models

    Compare baselines, XGBoost, and sequence models.

  4. 04

    Walk-forward validation

    Evaluate with expanding temporal windows.

  5. 05

    Backtesting

    Translate forecasts into simple signals.

  6. 06

    Risk controls

    Track drawdown, VaR, loss limits, and failure modes.
