چکیده

In this paper we study a genetic fuzzy system approach to assess suitable bidding strategies for agents in online auction environments. Assessing efficient bidding strategies allows evaluation of auction models and verification whether the mechanism design achieves its goals. Day-ahead electricity auctions are particularly explored to give an experimental instance of the approach developed in this paper. Previous works have reported successful fuzzy bidding strategies developed by genetic fuzzy systems and coevolutionary algorithms. Here we review the coevolutionary algorithm and present recent results of the bidding strategies behavior. We analyze how the evolutionary strategies perform against each other in dynamic environments. Coevolutionary approaches in which coevolutionary agents interact through their fuzzy bidding strategies permit realistic and transparent representations of the behavior of the agents in auction-based markets. They also improve market representation and evaluation mechanisms. Experimental results show that coevolutionary agents can enhance their profits at the cost of increasing system hourly price paid by demand, an undesirable outcome from the perspective of the buyers. Keywords— Genetic fuzzy systems, electricity markets, auctions, multiagent systems, computational economics.

Optimal Bidding Strategies of GENCOs in Day-Ahead Energy and Spinning Reserve Markets Based on Hybrid GA-Heuristic Optimization Algorithm

In an electricity market, every generation company (GENCO) attempts to maximize profit according to other participants bidding behaviors and power systems operating conditions. The goal of this study is to examine the optimal bidding strategy problem for GENCOs in energy and spinning reserve markets based on a hybrid GA-heuristic optimization algorithm. The heuristic optimization algorithm used...

Strategic Bidding in a Pool-Based Electricity Market under Load Forecast Uncertainty

This paper proposes a method for determining the price bidding strategies of market participants consisting of Generation Companies (GENCOs) and Distribution Companies (DISCOs) in a day-ahead electricity market, while taking into consideration the load forecast uncertainty and demand response programs. The proposed algorithm tries to find a Pareto optimal point for a risk neutral participan...

Six thinking hats: A novel metalearner for intelligent decision support in electricity markets

a r t i c l e i n f o The energy sector has suffered a significant restructuring that has increased the complexity in electricity market players' interactions. The complexity that these changes brought requires the creation of decision support tools to facilitate the study and understanding of these markets. The Multiagent Simulator of Competitive Electricity Markets (MASCEM) arose in this cont...

Impact of Participants’ Market Power and Transmission Constraints on GenCos’ Nash Equilibrium Point

Unlike perfect competitive markets, in oligopoly electricity markets due to strategic producers and transmission constraints GenCos may increase their own profit through strategic biddings. This paper investigates the problem of developing optimal bidding strategies of GenCos considering participants’ market power and transmission constraints. The problem is modeled as a bi-level optimizati...

Using and comparing metaheuristic algorithms for optimizing bidding strategy viewpoint of profit maximization of generators

With the formation of the competitive electricity markets in the world, optimization of bidding strategies has become one of the main discussions in studies related to market designing. Market design is challenged by multiple objectives that need to be satisfied. The solution of those multi-objective problems is searched often over the combined strategy space, and thus requires the simultaneous...
