Bidding in Interrelated Day-ahead Electricity Markets: Insights from an Agent-based Simulation Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present results from an agent-based simulation model of two sequentially cleared electricity markets. Agents can bid on both a day-ahead market for physical delivery contracts and a day-ahead balancing power market and learn from their achieved results. Different scenarios of the order of market clearing and pricing rules are tested and their results are compared. We show that prices are lower in both markets when the day-ahead market is cleared first. We also show that payas-bid leads to lower resulting prices than a uniform price mechanism.

Optimal Bidding Strategies of GENCOs in Day-Ahead Energy and Spinning Reserve Markets Based on Hybrid GA-Heuristic Optimization Algorithm
In an electricity market, every generation company (GENCO) attempts to maximize profit according to other participants bidding behaviors and power systems operating conditions. The goal of this study is to examine the optimal bidding strategy problem for GENCOs in energy and spinning reserve markets based on a hybrid GA-heuristic optimization algorithm. The heuristic optimization algorithm used...
متن کاملAgent-Based Modeling of Day-Ahead Real Time Pricing in a Pool-Based Electricity Market
In this paper, an agent-based structure of the electricity retail market is presented based on which day-ahead (DA) energy procurement for customers is modeled. Here, we focus on operation of only one Retail Energy Provider (REP) agent who purchases energy from DA pool-based wholesale market and offers DA real time tariffs to a group of its customers. As a model of customer response to the offe...
متن کاملModeling and Detecting Bidding Anomalies in Day-ahead Electricity Markets
Virtual bids were introduced in U.S. wholesale electricity markets to exploit arbitrage opportunities arising from expected price differences between day-ahead and real-time energy markets. These financial instruments have interactions with other elements of the electricity market design. For instance, virtual bids could affect day-ahead market-clearing prices so as to enhance the value of Fina...
متن کاملEnergy management of virtual power plant to participate in the electricity market using robust optimization
Virtual power plant (VPP) can be studied to investigate how energy is purchased or sold in the presence of electricity market price uncertainty. The VPP uses different intermittent distributed sources such as wind turbine, flexible loads, and locational marginal prices (LMPs) in order to obtain profit. VPP should propose bidding/offering curves to buy/sell from/to day-ahead market. In this pape...
متن کاملImpacts of Premium Bounds on the Operation of Put Option and Day-ahead Electricity Markets
In this paper, the impacts of premium bounds of put option contracts on the operation of put option and day-ahead electricity markets are studied. To this end, first a comprehensive equilibrium model for a joint put option and day-ahead markets is presented. Interaction between put option and day-ahead markets, uncertainty in fuel price, impact of premium bounds, and elasticity of con...
