In this paper we propose an algorithm for pricing derivatives written about electricity in an incomplete market setting. A discrete time model for price dynamics which embodies the main features of electricity price revealed by simple time series analysis is considered. We use, jointly, Binomial...

Statistical and computational problems affect the reliability of these techniques. We illustrate a new technique – filtered historical simulation...</p>
