Evolutionary algorithm inspired by the methods of quantum computer sciences for the improvement of a neural model of the electric power exchange

The work contains results of research on the possibility to improve the neural model of the Electric Power Exchange (polish: Towarowa Giełda Energii Elektrycznej – TGEE) in MATLAB and Simulink environment using evolutionary algorithm inspired by quantum computer science. The developed artificial neural network was trained using data for the Day Ahead Market, assuming the joint volume of supplied and sold electrical energy [MWh] as the input quantities in each hour of the 24-hour day, and average prices [PLN/MWh] as output quantities. The obtained model of the exchange system was improved using the evolutionary algorithm, and further improvement in the accuracy of the model by supplementing the evolutionary algorithm using quantum solutions, related to the initial population, crossover and mutation operators, selection, etc. were proposed.
