Stochastic Optimization in Generation and Trading Planning

  • Conference paper

Part of the Operations Research Proceedings book series (ORP,volume 2006)

Abstract

In the process of the generation and trading planning, generation companies maximize the contribution margin, i.e. the difference of the revenues of energy trades and the costs for generating and purchasing electrical energy. The planning time horizon of this process covers a period of one month to one year. The complex planning task necessitates the application of computer-based tools [1]. Due to structural changes within the power industry, these tools have to be adapted continuously to the new conditions.
