Abstract

ABSTRACT

Forward transactions are becoming increasingly important in most electricity markets. From this perspective, this paper develops a methodology able to capture the complexities of power markets and incorporate them into the framework of risk-neutral probabilities. This is done using a model that splits up the power price dynamics into two different components: a component aimed at representing costs and market power, which will be based on a static, noncooperative game, and a component representing short-term deviations from the static model.
