| Abstract | This study has developed a stochastic programming model that integrates the day-ahead optimal bidding problem with the most recent regulation rules of the Iberian Electricity Market (MIBEL) for bilateral contracts (BC), with a special consideration for the new mechanism to balance the competition of the production market, namely virtual power plant (VPP) auctions. The model allows a price-taking generation company (GenCo) to decide on the unit commitment of the thermal units, the economic dispatch of the BCs between the thermal units and the generic programming unit (GPU), and the optimal sale/purchase bids for all units (thermal and generic), by observing the MIBEL regulation. The uncertainty of the spot prices has been represented through scenario sets built from the most recent real data using scenario reduction techniques. The model has been solved using real data from a Spanish generation company and spot prices, and the results have been reported and analyzed. |

New paper accepted for publication at the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems
Thu, 01/28/2010 - 17:29 — admin
The paper "Optimal Bidding Strategies for Thermal and Generic Programming Units in the Day-ahead Electricity Market" has been recently accepted for publication at the journal IEEE Transactions on Power Systems. In this work, the authors, prof. F.-Javier Heredia, Dr. Marcos.-J Rider and Ms. Cristina Corchero developed, within the general stochastic programming framework, a new optimal bid model for both thermal and generic programmingn units (also known as Virtual Power Plants) taken into account the most recent regulation rules of the Spanish peninsular system MIBEL.

| Abstract | This paper developed a stochastic programming model that integrated the most recent regulation rules of the Spanish peninsular system for bilateral contracts in the dayahead optimal bid problem. Our model allows a price-taker generation company to decide the unit commitment of the thermal and combined cycle programming units, the economic dispatch of the BC between all the programming units and the optimal sale bid by observing the Spanish peninsular regulation. The model was solved using real data of a typical generation company and a set of scenarios for the Spanish market price. The results are reported and analyzed. |

Improving electricity market price scenarios by means of forecasting factor models

| Key Words | research; spot price forecasting; scenario generation; MIBEL |
| Abstract | In liberalized electricity markets, Generation Companies must build an hourly bid that is sent to the market operator. The price at which the energy will be paid is unknown during the bidding process and has to be forecast. In this work we apply forecasting factor models to this framework and study its suitability. |

Stochastic programming models for optimal bid strategies in the Iberian Electricity Market

| Year of Publication | 2009 |
| Authors | F.-Javier Heredia; Cristina Corchero |
| Conference Name | The 20th International Symposium of Mathematical Programming (ISMP) |
| Conference Date | 23-28/08/2009 |
| Conference Location | Chicago |
| Type of Work | Invited oral presentation |
| Key Words | research; stochastic programming; electricity markets; day-ahead market; bilateral contracts; futures contracts; optimal bid |
| Abstract | The day-ahead market is not only the main physical energy market of Portugal and Spain in terms of the amount of traded energy, but also the mechanism through which other energy products, as bilateral (BC) and physical futures contracts (FC), are integrated into the Iberian Electricity Market (MIBEL) energy production system. We propose stochastic programming models that give the optimal bidding and BC and FC nomination strategy for a price-taker generation company in the MIBEL. Implementation details and some first computational experiences for small real cases are presented. |
