Optimal Bidding Strategy for a Generation Company Under Price Uncertainty

Haifeng Zhang

Abstract

Considering market clearing price uncertainty and based on mixed-integer programming and stochastic programming, a bidding model of bidding output independent on scenario for a thermal power producer is presented. This model can give nondecreasing bidding curves to meet the market requirements. Simulations for a generation company’s bidding behavior are performed using the model. Results show that the proposed model can provide adequate information to bidding curves.

Keywords

electricity markets; bidding strategy; mixed-integer programming; stochastic programming; price uncertainty.
