Vortrag


In bid-based markets, energy producers seek bidding strategies that maximize their revenue. In this talk, we seek the maximum-revenue bidding schedule for a single price-maker hydroelectric producer. We assume the producer sells energy in the day-ahead electricity market and has the

ability to impact the market-clearing price with its bids. Our approach models the price-maker hydroelectric producer’s bidding decision via a combination of Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming and Lagrangian relaxation. In this framework, we dualize the water balance equations, allowing an exact representation of the non-concave immediate revenue function, while preserving the concave shape of the future revenue function. We model inflow uncertainty and its stagewise dependence by a periodic autoregressive model. To demonstrate our approaches’ utility, we model Honduras’ electricity market assuming that the thermal producers act as price takers and that one price-maker hydro producer operates all of the hydroelectric plants.
