In the data preprocessing stage, maximum\u2013minimum normalization techniques are employed to process raw electricity price data and exogenous variable data; the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) and variational mode decomposition (VMD) methods are utilized for multi-modal decomposition of electricity price data to construct a multi-scale electricity price component matrix; and a sliding window mechanism is applied to segment time-series data, forming a three-dimensional input structure for the model. In the feature extraction and prediction stage, the BiGRUSA-ResSE-KAN multi-branch integrated network leverages the synergistic effects of gated recurrent units combined with residual structures and attention mechanisms to achieve deep feature fusion of multi-source heterogeneous data and model complex nonlinear relationships, while further exploring complex coupling patterns in electricity price fluctuations through the knowledge-adaptive network (KAN) module, ultimately outputting 24 h day-ahead electricity price predictions. Finally, verification experiments conducted using test sets spanning two years from five major electricity markets demonstrate that the introduced method effectively enhances the accuracy of day-ahead electricity price prediction, exhibits good applicability across different national electricity markets, and provides robust support for electricity market decision making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17060805","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,22]],"date-time":"2025-05-22T08:49:57Z","timestamp":1747903797000},"page":"805","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A BiGRUSA-ResSE-KAN Hybrid Deep Learning Model for Day-Ahead Electricity Price Prediction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Nan","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electric Power Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guihong","family":"Bi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electric Power Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuhong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electric Power Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoling","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electric Power Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3958-8003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhao","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electric Power Engineering, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Metering Center, Yunnan Power Grid Co., Ltd., Kunming 650051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"2","article-title":"Carbon Measurement Method and Carbon Meter System for Whole Chain of Power System","volume":"47","author":"Zhang","year":"2023","journal-title":"Autom.
