Balancing energy strategies in electricity portfolio management
نویسنده
چکیده
Traditional management of electricity portfolios is focused on the day-ahead market and futures of longer maturity. Market participants use these markets to trade any excess production or consumption in their portfolio and balance their total position. Within limits, market participants can also resort to the balancing energy market to close their positions. The energy transactions on the balancing energy market can be separated into fluctuations caused by unpredictable events and strategic positions. In this paper, we determine strategic positions and identify corresponding economic incentives in an analysis of the German balancing energy demand. The strategies discussed contribute to an effective functioning of the electricity market.

The Adaptive Fridge – Comparing different control schemes for enhancing load shifting of electricity demand
Load balancing in electricity grids becomes a more sophisticated problem by the increased availability of timevarying stochastic availability of electricity from renewable resources. Demand side management by load shifting is one attempt to cope with this problem. In this paper we discus and compare two control strategies to use the thermal storage of electrical household appliances as balancin...

متن کاملMulti-Stage Stochastic Electricity Portfolio Optimization in Liberalized Energy Markets
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 relati...
