Abstract
Successful trading in electricity markets relies on the market actor's ability to accurately forecast the electricity price. The fundamental electricity price models use market information, provided by various price drivers, including the residual that contains a risk premium. In the past, researchers investigating risk premium focused primarily on daily spot price levels, ignoring the intraday information hindering the accurate risk premium determination. This paper presents a new KGB Method for modelling of risk premium, based on “ex-ante” approach focused on a yearly product. The method involves a novel KGB Model and its linearized formulation, the KGB Linear Model, which enables capturing the influence of renewable energy sources on risk premium. The four key drivers of the KGB Linear Model were used providing an insight into the influence of RES generation on risk premium evolution. The method was tested on historical data from the German electricity market. The results for the 2010 – 2014 periods reveal overall influence of PV production share on risk premium is greater than that of wind production share, both increasing the risk premium due to their variability and uncertainty. Using the KGB Method, market actors can forecast risk premium using information readily available to them.Keywords
