Under spot electricity pricing the price of electricity represents actual demand and supply equilibrium conditions and consumers respond to price variations so as to achieve the best cost-service tradeoff over a given time period. Using a decision modelling approach developed for prescribing consumer response to a varying electricity price, the case of space conditioning usage is analyzed in de...

Recently, at the 119th European Study Group with Industry, the Energy Solutions Operator EDP proposed a challenge concerning electricity prices simulation, not only for risk measures purposes but also for scenario analysis in terms of pricing and strategy. The main purpose was short-term Electricity Price Forecasting (EPF). This analysis is contextualized in the study of time series behavior, i...

We propose a class of alternative stochastic volatility models for electricity prices using the quantile function modeling approach. Specifically, we fit marginal distributions of power prices to two special classes of distributions by matching the quantile of an empirical distribution to that of a theoretical distribution. The distributions from the first class have closed-form formulas for pr...

We describe and contrast different market mechanisms to incentivize residential electricity customers to perform demand response (DR) via load shifting of schedulable assets. A customer-incentive pricing (CIP) mechanism from our past research is discussed, and compared to flat-rate, time-of-use (TOU), and real-time pricing (RTP). The comparison is made using a for-profit aggregator-based reside...

Introduction of an integrated energy service system in an urban area is assumed. An energy supply plant is installed in the area to provide integrated energy service. It supplies electricity, gas, cooling, and heating to consumers. To consider CO2 emission constraint in the area, analyses of energy pricing, economic impact on energy consumers, and operation of the system under the constraint of...

III " It began with hope and belief " To all people I love IV Acknowledgments I am heartily thankful to my supervisors, Dr. Hamidreza Zareipour and Dr. Tuan. Le, whose encouragement, guidance, and support throughout enabled me to develop an understanding of this subject. I have learned precious lessons from their personality, vision and professionalism. Finally, I'd like to dedicate this work t...

A cointegrated vector autoregressive (CVAR) model is estimated to determine the dynamic relationship between Nordic wholesale electricity prices and EU emissions trading scheme (EU-ETS) CO2 allowance prices. An impulse response analysis reveals that electricity prices have large short-term responses to CO2 price shocks, but that this response dampens over time. Using hourly Nordic electricity s...

during the last recent decades, restructuring in the electricity industry has been considered as an economical policy. consequently, it was able to increase private investment, competition, efficiency, and productivity. the purpose of restructuring electricity industry is to change electricity industry organization, in order to omit monopoly and increase competition. recognition of restructurin...
