Modelling Spikes in Electricity
نویسنده
چکیده
During periods of market stress, electricity prices can rise dramatically. Electricity retailers cannot pass these extreme prices on to customers because of retail price regulation. Improved prediction of these price spikes, therefore, is important for risk management. This paper builds a time-varying-probability Markov-switching model of Queensland electricity prices, aimed particularly at forecasting price spikes. Variables capturing demand and weather patterns are used to drive the transition probabilites. Unlike traditional Markov-switching models, that assume normality of the prices in each state, the model presented here uses a generalized beta distribution to allow for the skewness in the distribution of electricity prices during high-price episodes.

Joint Modelling of Gas and Electricity spot prices
The recent liberalization of the electricity and gas markets has resulted in the growth of energy exchanges and modelling problems. In this paper, we modelize jointly gas and electricity spot prices using a mean-reverting model which fits the correlations structures for the two commodities. The dynamics are based on Ornstein processes with parameterized diffusion coefficients. Moreover, using t...
متن کاملModelling Energy Markets with Extreme Spikes
This paper suggests a new approach to model spot prices of electricity. It uses a shot-noise model to capture extreme spikes typically arising in electricity markets. Moreover, the model easily accounts for seasonality and mean reversion. We compute futures prices in closed form and show that the resulting shapes capture a large variety of typically observed term structures. For statistical pur...
متن کاملNCER Working Paper Series It never rains but it pours: Modelling the persistence of spikes in electricity
During periods of market stress, electricity prices can rise dramatically. This paper treats these abnormal episodes or price spikes as count events and attempts to build a model of the spiking process. In contrast to the existing literature, which either ignores temporal dependence in the spiking process or attempts to model the dependence solely in terms of deterministic variables (like seaso...
متن کاملModelling Electricity Prices: A Time Change Approach
To capture mean reversion and sharp seasonal spikes observed in electricity prices, this paper develops a new stochastic model for electricity spot prices by time changing the Jump CoxIngersoll-Ross (JCIR) process with a random clock that is a composite of a Gamma subordinator and a deterministic clock with seasonal activity rate. The time-changed JCIR process is a timeinhomogeneous Markov semi...
متن کاملOptimal Modelling for Decision Making of Electricity Retailer in Power Market Contracts by Considering Demand Side Management Programs
The growth and expansion of economic concepts in the power system is increasing in last years. Energy economists have considered the optimal decision-making of electricity market retailers in recent years. In this paper, a demand response program based model is pro-posed in order to make the optimal decision of the retailer in the electricity market, taking into account the different conditions...
