We derive risk-neutral option price formulas for plain-vanilla and exotic electricity futures derivatives on the basis of diverse arithmetic multi-factor Ornstein-Uhlenbeck spot price models admitting seasonality. In these setups, we take additional forward-looking knowledge on future price...

In this article we derive risk-neutral option price formulas for both plain-vanilla and exotic electricity futures derivatives on the basis of diverse arithmetic multi-factor Ornstein-Uhlenbeck spot price models admitting seasonality, while – in order to avoid “information...

We derive utility maximizing portfolios and consumption rates in electricity futures markets under anticipative information modeled by enlarged filtrations. The emerging optimization exercises are solved by point-wise maximization and a sufficient stochastic maximum principle. We provide...

In this paper, we derive optimal hedging strategies for options in electricity futures markets. Optimality is measured in terms of minimal variance and the associated minimal variance hedging portfolios are obtained by a stochastic maximum principle. Our explicit results are particularly useful...

Many electricity markets exhibit an oligopolistic structure with market participants whose individual trading activities may shift prices essentially. In this context, the question of how to optimally liquidate an existing electricity futures portfolio over a fixed time horizon under the...
