Abstract
In this paper, the three main forecasting topics that are currently getting the most attention in electric power systems are addressed: load, wind power and electricity prices. Each of these time series exhibits its own stylized features and is therefore forecasted in a very different manner. The complete set of forecasting models and techniques included in this revision constitute a guided tour in power systems forecasting.
