In the electricity sector, market participants must make decisions about capacity choice in a situation of radical uncertainty future conditions. Sector is characterized by non-storability and periodic stochastic demand fluctuations. Capacity determination decision for long term, whereas production adjusted short run. Paper looks on main contributions investment planning under uncertainty, part...

The lack of reliable electricity is one of the problems most hindering human development, affecting over 1.3 billion people worldwide. We are developing a bottom-up approach to electrification that creates a peer-to-peer electricity sharing marketplace. The electricity sharing network poses a problem in multi-agent power scheduling that is not solved by current approaches. The scheduling algori...

World wide the electricity industry is undergoing a substantial process of restructuring, with an emphasis on the introduction of competition in the generation sector. Competition is ostensibly going to lead to better incentives, both in the use of existing resources and in future investment decisions. One of the main drivers of this new environment will be the increased opportunity for energy ...

This paper presents a stochastic mixed-integer linear programming approach for solving the selfscheduling problem of a price-taker thermal and wind power producer taking part in a pool-based electricity market. Uncertainty on electricity price and wind power is considered through a set of scenarios. Thermal units are modelled by variable costs, start-up costs and technical operating constraints...

Abstract- In a typical competitive electricity market, a large number of short-term and long-term contracts are set on basis of energy price by an Independent System Operator (ISO). Under such circumstances, accurate electricity price forecasting can play a significant role in improving the more reasonable bidding strategies adopted by the electricity market participants. So, they cannot only r...

Utilities participating in deregulated markets observe increasing uncertainty in load (i.e., demand for electric power) and prices for fuel and electricity on spot and contract markets. This study proposes a new formulation of the unit commitment problem of electric power generators in a restructured electricity market. Under these conditions, an electric power generation company will have the ...

Electricity generation from renewable sources is growing rapidly, but the variability and uncertainty of renewable resources like wind and solar energy can increase the costs of supplying reliable electricity. Competitive markets for wholesale electricity are widely used in the United States, but the regulatory details that govern their treatment of stochastic resources can have significant eff...
