Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on financial simulation and forecasting in energy markets explores advanced financial modeling techniques and decision-support frameworks essential for understanding the financial complexities of global energy systems. As energy markets evolve, there is a growing need to address financial risks, market volatility, and strategic investment decision-making.
This Special Issue invites contributions that examine financial dynamics across electricity, oil, natural gas, and emerging energy sectors. Topics include modeling energy price behavior, applications in risk management, forecasting prices, and fundamentals. Emphasis is placed on AI, advanced quantitative methodologies, and their applications to real-world energy financial challenges.
Key areas of interest include the following:
- Financial and strategic risk management in energy markets.
- Price modeling and forecasting for electricity, oil, gas, and renewable energy.
- The impact of renewable energy integration.
- Investment strategies and infrastructure financing in energy systems.
- Policy impacts on energy pricing, including carbon markets and ESG considerations.
- Quantitative methods for energy market analysis using advanced software (e.g., MATLAB, R, Python, and PLEXOS).
We encourage submissions that apply innovative simulation techniques to analyze financial risks and decision-making in energy markets. Case studies, empirical analyses, and theoretical approaches are welcome.
This Special Issue provides a platform for academics, industry practitioners, and policymakers to advance the understanding of financial risk, market forecasting, and strategic financial planning in the energy sector. Through cutting-edge research, this Special Issue aims to enhance forecasting accuracy, optimize risk mitigation strategies, and provide actionable insights for financial decision making in an increasingly complex energy landscape.
