This paper focuses on weather derivatives as efficient risk management instruments and proposes a more advanced approach for their pricing. An "hybrid" contract is introduced, combining insurance properties, specifically tailored for the region under study and introducing Value-at-Risk (VaR) and...

In this paper we present an evaluation framework for predictions of binary events in probabilistic electricity price forecasting. It employs the MSE-equivalent QPS together with the DM test and allows for further insights about deficiencies of the considered models. Additionally, techniques from...

Short term load forecasts will play a key role in the implementation of smart electricity grids. They are required to optimise a wide range of potential network solutions on the low voltage (LV) grid, including integrating low carbon technologies (such as photovoltaics) and utilising battery...
