Modelling Alternative Energy in the Electricity Market

In this thesis, we try to analyse the consequences to the electricity market when we try to introduce wind farms. We start by following [1], considering a large number of fuel-fired power plants bidding according to a Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and building a bid-stack curve from these. To introduc...

description In this thesis, we try to analyse the consequences to the electricity market when we try to introduce wind farms. We start by following [1], considering a large number of fuel-fired power plants bidding according to a Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and building a bid-stack curve from these. To introduce wind power generation, we model the wind speed at each location by a similar process and extract the total power generated by wind farms from it. We then consider the implications this power has on the bid-stack curve, and we try to anticipate how the market might evolve and adapt.
