This paper presents an artificial neural network (ANN), based approach for estimating short-term wholesale electricity price using past price and demand data. In other to obtain accurate model, several combination of input parameters was considered. 70% of the data sample was used for training, 15% for validation and 15% for testing. The ANN model was trained in MATLAB using Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation algorithm for forecasting the next 24 hours electricity price. The accuracy of the model was measured using Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). %K Artificial Network %K Electricity Market %K LevenbergMarquardt Algorithm %K Price forecasting %U http://dl6.globalstf.org/index.php/jet/article/view/1488/1504
