Nash equilibrium problems in power markets and product design: analysis and algorithms

Kannan, Aswin - 2010

The focus of this research is on the analysis and computation of equilibria in noncooperative Cournot and Bertrandgames …. The application of focus for Cournot competition is power markets while that for Bertrand competitionis product design. We … consider Cournot-based models for strategic behavior in power markets while Bertrandbasedmodels are employed for analyzing the …

Impacts of Network Constraints on Electricity Market Equilibrium

Liu, YF; Wu, FF - 2007

Nash equilibrium is usually used as the solution of generator's strategic bidding in electricity markets. The available literature has shown by simulation that multiple market equilibria or no pure equilibrium may be induced after the inclusion of network constraints (transmission constraints)....
