Multi-Stage Stochastic Electricity Portfolio Optimization in Liberalized Energy Markets

چکیده
In this paper we analyze the electricity portfolio problem of a big consumer in a multi-stage stochastic programming framework. Stochasticity enters the model via the uncertain spot price process and is represented by a scenario tree. The decision that has to be taken is how much energy should be bought in advance, and how large the exposition to the uncertain spot market, as well as the relatively expensive production with an own power plant should be. The risk is modeled using an Average Value-at-Risk (AVaR) term in the objective function. The results of the stochastic programming model are compared with classical fix mix strategies, which are outperformed. Furthermore, the influence of risk parameters is shown. keywords: Stochastic Optimization, Scenario Generation, Energy Markets, Optimal Electricity Portfolios, Average Value-at-Risk

Multi Objective Scheduling of Utility-scale Energy Storages and Demand Response Programs Portfolio for Grid Integration of Wind Power
Increasing the penetration of variable wind generation in power systems has created some new challenges in the power system operation. In such a situation, the inclusion of flexible resources which have the potential of facilitating wind power integration is necessary. Demand response (DR) programs and emerging utility-scale energy storages (ESs) are known as two powerful flexible tools that ca...
متن کاملOptimal Short-Term Contract Allocation Using Particle Swarm Optimization
In a liberalized electricity market, participants have several types of contracts to sell or buy electrical energy. Increasing electricity markets liquidity and, simultaneously, providing to market participants tools for hedging against spot electricity price were the two main reasons for the appearance of those types of contracts. However, due to the payoff nonlinearity characteristic of those...
متن کاملNuclear Power : a Hedge against Uncertain Gas and Carbon Prices ? 12
High fossil fuel prices have rekindled interest in nuclear power. This paper identifies specific nuclear characteristics making it unattractive to merchant generators in liberalized electricity markets, and argues that non-fossil fuel technologies have an overlooked ‘option value’ given fuel and carbon price uncertainty. Stochastic optimization estimates the company option value of keeping open...
متن کاملOptimal capacity allocation in multi-auction electricity markets under uncertainty
The advent of competitive markets confronts each producer with the problem of optimally allocating his energy/capacity so as to maximize his pro$ts. The multiplicity of auctions in electricity markets and the nontrivial constraints imposed by technical and bidding rules make the problem of crucial importance and di/cult to model and solve. Further di/culties are represented by the dynamic and s...

In recent years, the structure of the electricity industry has undergone a change and since November 2003, when the electricity market of the country was launched, its monopoly structure has become a competitive structure. In this market, the forecast of electricity prices is not only necessary in pricing but also plays an important role in finding the optimal operation strategy by the power pl...
