The electricity commodity exchange is a place where you can sell and buy, among other things, electricity. Is the sale free from profit-generating activities that have no relation to the production costs incurred ? Here, we suggest a mathematical model that tracks this type of the non-ethical...

Three models of trading on the electricity commodity exchange are presented, where the market clearing price is based on the weighted average value of the proposed goods. The models make it possible to estimate the prices of the goods offered for sale on the basis of two parameters; the market...

The deployment of battery-powered electric bus systems within the public transportation sector plays an important role to increase energy efficiency and to abate emissions. Rising attention is given to bus systems using fast charging technology. This concept requires a comprehensive...

The profitable exploitation of asset portfolios in the European electricity markets has become more challenging in recent years. This is particularly true for combined heat and power (CHP) generation units that are often facing must-run conditions due to heat demands that need to be satisfied....

Analyzing price data from sequential German electricity markets, namely the day-ahead and intraday auction, a puzzling but apparently systematic pattern of price premiums can be identified. The price premiums are highly correlated with the underlying demand profile. As there is evidence that...

One of the major changes in european electricity markets is - besides the increasing share of renewable infeed - the fact that previously independent market areas have been connected. Day-Ahead auctions are no longer done separately and available interconnector capacity are not always auctioned...

The European electricity market design is based on zonal markets with uniform prices. Locational price signals within these zones - necessary to ensure long-term efficiency - are not provided. Specifically, if intra-zonal congestion occurs due to missing grid expansion, the market design is...

We investigate the effects of system integration for reliability of supply in regional electricity systems along with cooperative measures to support it. Specifically, we set up a model to contrast the benefits from integration through statistical balancing (i.e., a positive externality) with...

This paper describes a way to model a seasonally and irregularly peaking price dynamics, as that originated in commodity and energy markets, using a system of coupled nonlinear stochastic differential equations. The specific case of an electric power market is used to show which microeconomic...
