- Participation of wind power producers in intra-day markets : a case-studyPublication . Rocha, Tomás; Algarvio, Hugo; Lopes, Fernando; Pronto, Anabela; Santana, JoãoABSTRACT: The evolution of renewable energy has increased substantially over the past decade. Wind power producers (WPPs) can submit bids to energy markets, making short-term commitments to produce specific quantities of energy. This article presents a case-study to analyze the benefits of the active participation of wind power producers in energy markets, particularly intra-day markets. The case-study is carried out with the help of the MATREM system. The preliminary results indicate a reduction of the deviations of WPPs, but also a decreasing in their remuneration. Thus, the results highlight to some extent the importance of new market mechanisms to enable the active participation of WPPs in markets, without support policies.
- Potential impact of load curtailment on the day-ahead Iberian market : a preliminary analysisPublication . Rodrigues, Francisco; Algarvio, Hugo; Lopes, Fernando; Pronto, Anabela; Santana, JoãoABSTRACT: Demand response (DR) in electricity markets may offer a variety of financial and operational benefits. Typically, customers respond to DR events by adopting curtailment and shifting strategies. This article focuses on the former strategy and assumes that consumers are encouraged to avoid consuming electricity during specific hours of a 24 h day, because the energy price is above a given threshold. It presents a study on the Iberian market, conducted with the help of an agent-based simulation tool, called MATREM. The results are very favorable to the adoption of the load curtailment strategy (as a consequence of the enrollment in different DR programs).
