Abstract | A decision support procedure is developed for the short-term hydro-thermal resource scheduling problem of a Generation Company operating in the liberalized electric energy market and aiming at profit maximization. The generation company is supposed to be a price-taker, i.e. without influence on the electricity market price: therefore the profit maximization model of the problem faced by the GenCo must take into account both technical problems of generation and uncertainty of electricity prices. The power producer may hedge against the significant risk factor represented by energy market-price by participating in the Derivatives electricity Market. The derivatives products considered in this work are the futures contracts. T |
