Abstract

Data-driven models based on artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly being used in energy markets, especially for forecasting demand and ensuring supply security. However, the inherent balck-box nature of such models make them prone to number of biases and limits their explainability. This means that such data-driven models can make extremely inaccurate predictions in the worst-case scenario. In this study, we show the biased predictions of widely used models in energy markets. Using domain-informed counterfactuals for three case studies, we explore potential ways to de-bias the models and recommend possible solutions.
