Typically, in competitive electricity markets, the vertically integrated utilities that were responsible for ensuring system reliability in their own service territories, or groups of territories, cease to exist. The burden falls to an independent system operator (ISO) to ensure that enough ancillary services (AS) are available for safe, stable, and reliable operation of the grid, typically den...

With the increasing use of different types of auctions in market designing, modeling of participants’ behaviors to evaluate the market structure is one of the main discussions in the studies related to the deregulated power industries. In this article, we apply an approach of the optimal bidding behavior to the Iran wholesale electricity market as a restructured electric power industry and mode...

This paper proposes an approach to the intraday analysis of the dynamics of electricity prices. The growth optimal portfolio (GOP) is used as a reference unit in a continuous financial electricity price model. A diversified global portfolio in the form a market capitalisation weighted index approximates the GOP. The GOP, measured in units of electricity, is normalised and then modelled as a tim...

Residential photovoltaic (PV) systems in the US are often compensated at the customer’s underlying retail electricity rate through net metering. Given the uncertainty in future retail rates and the inherent links between rates and the economics of behind-the-meter PV, there is growing interest in understanding how potential changes in rates may impact the value of bill savings from PV. In this ...

The electricity market has been widely introduced in many countries all over the world and the study on electricity price forecast technology has drawn a lot of attention. In this paper, with different parameter Ci and ei assigned to each training data, the flexible Ci Support Vector Regression (SVR) model is developed in terms of the particularity of the price forecast in electricity market. F...

In this paper, we propose an oligopolistic model of electricity market of Mexico and analyze numerical experiments based upon this model. Presently, the Mexican electricity market is presented by the state-regulated monopoly, so a competition market is not yet established. Our work can be evaluated as an empirical study of possible liberalization effects for Mexico. An oligopolistic market stru...

Deregulated electricity markets encourage firms to compete, making the development of renewable energy easier. An ordinary parameter of electricity markets is the electricity market price, mainly the day-ahead electricity market price. This paper describes a new approach to forecast day-ahead electricity market prices, whose methodology is divided into two parts as: (i) forecasting of the elect...

How to effectively evaluate price of volatility risk is the basis of risk management in electricity market. Electricity price connotes a grey system, due to uncertainty and incomplete information for partial external or inner parameters. A two-stage model for estimating value-at-risk based on grey system and extreme value theory is proposed. Firstly, in order to capture the dependencies, season...
