This paper studies the interaction between hydro and wind power in hydro-thermal-wind power system. Socially efficient and monopoly hydropower allocation solutions are presented. Market power utilization potential for hydropower is reduced during low demand periods when residual demand crosses...

We present a novel method of determining the contribution of load-shifting Demand Response (DR) to energy and reserve markets. We model DR in an Mixed Complementarity Problem (MCP) framework with high levels of wind penetration. Investment, exit and operational decisions are optimised...

We analyse in a theoretical framework the link between real-time and day-ahead market performance in a hydro-based and imperfectly competitive wholesale electricity market. Theoretical predictions of the model are tested on data from the Nordic power exchange, Nord Pool Spot (NPS).We reject the...

In this paper we study the potential effects of Real Time Pricing (RTP) of electricity to the need of long-run capacities in the Nordic power markets. A characteristic of the Nordic power market is the large variety of production technologies of which hydro and nuclear power are capacity...

We present a bottom-up electricity market model for Switzerland called Swissmod. It includes a detailed electricity network and hydropower representation. Swissmod captures the features and restrictions of run-of-river, yearly storage and pumped-storage power plants and combines this with a...
