This paper presents an incentive based smart dynamic pricing scheme for consumers facilitating a hierarchical scoring mechanism. This mechanism is applied between consumer agents (CA) to electricity provider agent (EP) and EP to Generation Company (GENCO). Based on the Continuous Ranked Probability Score (CRPS), a hierarchical scoring system is formed among these entities. As CA receives the dy...

The electricity market has evolved from a regulated monopoly to a more liberalized competitive market, which allows a generating company (GENCO) to bid to provide energy. The two-period structure of the electricity market (day-ahead and real-time market) introduces a mechanism for determining the GENCO’s optimal bidding strategy. The difference between clearing prices for each period adds uncer...

Defining appropriate pricing strategy for smart environment is important and complex task at the same time. It holds the primal fraction in Demand Response (DR) program. In our work, we devise an incentive based smart dynamic pricing scheme for consumers facilitating a multi-layered scoring rule. The proposed strategy characterizes both incentive based DR and price based DR programs facilities....

This paper proposes an Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm to Generator Maintenance Scheduling (GMS) in competitive market. In the regulated market the problem of generating optimal maintenance schedules of generating units for the purpose of maximizing economic benefits and improving reliable operation of a power system, subject to satisfying system constraints. In case of deregulated market...

We propose a TransCo model for coordinating transmission expansion planning with competitive generation capacity planning in electricity markets. Our purpose is to provide a tool to simulate the equilibrium interplay regarding strategic decisions of a set of power producers and a single transmission operator. The solution represents an iterative process for defining the optimal transmission exp...

This paper proposes a multi-objective bidding strategy for a generation company (GenCo) in a day-ahead uniform price spot market using non-dominated sorting particle swarm optimisation (NSPSO). NSPSO is introduced to solve the multi-objective strategic bidding problem considering expected profit maximisation and risk (profit variation) minimisation. Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is employed to si...

This paper analyses the financial implications, from point of view an investor in renewable energy, which sells energy for uncertain price electricity and decides to take advantage Colombian tax policy over energy. The policy, known as Investment Tax Allowance (ITA), encourages installation projects a country traditionally dominated by hydro power. Price is modeled non-stationary autoregressive...
