Risk Constrained Trading Strategies for Stochastic Generation with a Single-Price Balancing Market

Due to the limited predictability of wind power and other stochastic generation, trading this energy in competitive electricity markets is challenging. This paper derives revenue-maximising and risk-constrained strategies for stochastic generators participating in electricity markets with a single-price balancing mechanism. Starting from the optimal---and impractical---strategy of offering zero or nominal power, which exposes the participant to potentially large imbalance costs, we develop a num...
