Price Risk Based Power Portfolio Optimization with Liquidity Constraints

 

There is a power portfolio, which consists of a procurement curve and several forward products. Our aim is (re)hedging the portfolio in order to minimize its financial risk for a given time period (typically 10 working days).

The risk is measured by Conditional Value-at-Risk, which

·         is a coherent risk measure (e.g., the sum of the risk of subportfolios cannot be less than the whole portfolio),

·         gives more information on fat-tailed distribution,

·         can be optimized easily.

The risk is presented by price curve scenarios. The finite liquidity of power markets are taken into account. The model has been implemented and used in the Energy-Trading Informatics Platform of the IP Systems Ltd. 

The project is supported by the Research and Technology Innovation Fund.
