public class PriceForecasterApi
extends MarketForecaster

Provides electricity price forecasts from external model via forecastApi. In order to reduce amount of calls to the external forecasting model, the forecast window can be extended beyond the configured forecasting period. Specifically, the external model is asked to provide a forecast for the period of MarketForecaster.forecastPeriodInHours plus forecastWindowExtensionInHours hours. The received forecasts are saved and used to fulfil the client forecast requests. The "additional" hours from the forecastWindowExtensionInHours are used in a rolling horizon way.
However, if forecast errors exceed forecastErrorToleranceInEURperMWH, an immediate update via the external forecasting model is triggered.
