Abstract: Current electricity price forecasting models rely on only simple hybridizations of data preprocessing and optimization methods while ignoring the significance of adaptive data preprocessing and effective optimization and selection strategies to obtain optimal models that improve the forecasting performance. To solve these problems, this study develops an improved electricity price forecasting model that offers the advantages of adaptive data preprocessing, advanced optimization method, kernel-based model, and optimal model selection strategy. Specifically, the adaptive parameter-based variational mode decomposition technology is proposed to provide desirable data preprocessing results, and a leave-one-out optimization strategy based on the chaotic sine cosine algorithm is proposed and applied to develop optimal kernel-based extreme learning machine models. In addition, a newly proposed optimal model selection strategy is applied to determine the developed model that provides the most desirable forecasting result. Numerical results show that the developed model's performance metrics were best, and the average values of mean absolute error, root mean square error, mean absolute percentage error, index of agreement, and Theil's inequality coefficient in four datasets are 0.5121, 0.7607, 0.5722%, 0.9997 and 0.0041, respectively, which imply that the developed model is a promising, applicable and effective electricity price forecasting technique in the real electricity market.
