Optimal Bidding Strategies: an Empirical Conjectural Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The optimal bidding strategy for a generation company is a complex decision making problem involving numerous uncertainties. Generally, all market participants attempt to refine their strategies to earn greater profit. Success in the market requires not only successful forecasting of demand and other market conditions but also anticipating rival behaviours. The main objective of this paper is to suggest one use of historical data for purposes of strategic bidding. A conjectural model based on the market clearing process is presented. In this model, participants estimate a mark-up function for their competitors in the market. Based on these estimates, an optimal bid is found. Numerical examples highlight the methodology.

Bidding Strategy in Spot Markets with Definition of a New Market Power Index by Using Conjectural Variation
In this paper, the concept of Conjectural Variation (CV) is used to specify optimal generation decision for generation companies (Gencos). The conjecture of Genco is defined as its belief or expectation about the reaction of rivals to change of its output. Using CV method, each Genco has to learn and estimate strategic behaviors of other competitors from available historical market operation da...
متن کاملOptimal 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 کاملStrategic Bidding in a Pool-Based Electricity Market under Load Forecast Uncertainty
This paper proposes a method for determining the price bidding strategies of market participants consisting of Generation Companies (GENCOs) and Distribution Companies (DISCOs) in a day-ahead electricity market, while taking into consideration the load forecast uncertainty and demand response programs. The proposed algorithm tries to find a Pareto optimal point for a risk neutral participan...
متن کاملImpact of Participants’ Market Power and Transmission Constraints on GenCos’ Nash Equilibrium Point
Unlike perfect competitive markets, in oligopoly electricity markets due to strategic producers and transmission constraints GenCos may increase their own profit through strategic biddings. This paper investigates the problem of developing optimal bidding strategies of GenCos considering participants’ market power and transmission constraints. The problem is modeled as a bi-level optimizati...
متن کاملBidding Strategies for Simultaneous Ascending Auctions
Simultaneous ascending auctions present agents with various strategic problems, depending on preference structure. As long as bids represent non-repudiable offers, submitting non-contingent bids to separate auctions entails an exposure problem: bidding to acquire a bundle risks the possibility of obtaining an undesired subset of the goods. With multiple goods (or units of a homogeneous good) bi...
