Abstract
This paper develops optimal bidding strategies based on hourly unit commitment in a generation company (GENCO) that participates in energy and ancillary services markets. The price-based unit commitment problem with uncertain market prices is modeled as a stochastic mixed integer linear program. The market price uncertainty is modeled using the scenario approach, Monte Carlo simulation is applied to generate scenarios, scenario reduction techniques are applied to reduce the size of the stochastic price-based unit commitment problem, and postprocessing is applied based on marginal cost of committed units to refine bidding curves. The financial risk associated with market price uncertainty is modeled using expected downside risk, which is incorporated explicitly as a constraint in the problem. Accordingly, the proposed method provides a closed-loop solution to devising specific strategies for risk-based bidding in a GENCO. Illustrative examples show the impact of market price uncertainty on GENCO's hourly commitment schedule and discuss the way GENCOs could decrease financial risks by managing expected payoffsKeywords
