Day-ahead energy market clearing relies on a deterministic equivalent model with a limited time horizon, which may lead to inefficient scheduling of generating units from the point of view of generators. For this reason, generators may wish to forgo the profit hedging offered by day-ahead electricity markets and assume the risk of self-committing their units with the hope of securing greater pr...

a r t i c l e i n f o It is widely agreed that optimal procurement of reserves, with explicit consideration of system contingencies, can improve reliability and economic efficiency in power systems. With increasing penetration of uncertain generation resources, this optimal allocation is becoming even more crucial. Herein, a problem formulation is developed to solve the day-ahead energy and res...

Introducing a production–based approach, we take into account different attitudes and liabilities of market participants to discuss the equilibrium day–ahead prices on electricity. Conditions ensuring the existence of the equilibrium are given and price distribution is considered. We include a discussion of reasons for high price volatility.

Real-time pricing schemes make the customers to feel the energy price volatility and improve their load profiles. However, these schemes have no significant effect on demand-side uncertainty reduction. In this paper, considering smart grid infrastructures and smart building Energy Management System (EMS), a new real-time pricing scheme is presented to reduce the uncertainty of demand-side. In t...

The intermittent nature of the solar resource together with fluctuating energy demand day-ahead electricity market requires use efficient long-term storage systems. pumped hydroelectric (PHS) power plant has demonstrated its technical and commercial viability as a large-scale technology. objective this paper is to analyse parameters that influence mode operation in conjunction floating photovol...

It is well-known that a market equilibrium with uniform prices often does not exist in non-convex day-ahead electricity auctions. We consider the case of the non-convex, uniformprice Pan-European day-ahead electricity market ”PCR” (Price Coupling of Regions), with non-convexities arising from so-called complex and block orders. Extending previous results, we propose a new primal-dual framework ...
