一个经过验证的、现实的燃料成本模型的可用性是开发和验证新的优化方法和控制工具的先决条件。本文利用自回归积分滑动平均(ARIMA)模型，结合历史燃料成本数据，对燃料成本分布进行了三步预测。首先，探讨了EIA-923表的数据特征，并以德克萨斯州发电设施的天然气燃料成本为例，开发并验证了预测算法。此外，利用与德克萨斯州天然气中心相关的现货价格来增强燃料成本预测。预测数据符合正态分布，并用Kullback-Leibler散度来评价实际燃料成本分布与估计分布之间的差异。比较结果表明，本文提出的预测算法总体上是有效的，值得进一步研究。

英文摘要：
  Availability of a validated, realistic fuel cost model is a prerequisite to the development and validation of new optimization methods and control tools. This paper uses an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model with historical fuel cost data in development of a three-step-ahead fuel cost distribution prediction. First, the data features of Form EIA-923 are explored and the natural gas fuel costs of Texas generating facilities are used to develop and validate the forecasting algorithm for the Texas example. Furthermore, the spot price associated with the natural gas hub in Texas is utilized to enhance the fuel cost prediction. The forecasted data is fit to a normal distribution and the Kullback-Leibler divergence is employed to evaluate the difference between the real fuel cost distributions and the estimated distributions. The comparative evaluation suggests the proposed forecasting algorithm is effective in general and is worth pursuing further.
