Abstract

In deregulated electricity markets, the electricity consumer should distribute his required electricity optimally between different markets including spots markets with instantaneous price and bilateral contract markets. The present study is aimed to design a model for selecting the optimal electricity market portfolio, so the purchase costs can be minimized by considering a risk level. For this purpose, an optimization approach based on random planning was proposed to minimize costs and reduce power supply risk. Conditional value at risk was used as an appropriate and well-known factor for reducing unfavorable situations in decision-making under uncertain conditions. For simulations, the real information of Iran in 2018 was used as much as possible. Due to the small number of industrial subscribers, the whole population was studied. A genetic algorithm has been used to solve this optimization problem. In addition, MATLAB software was used for implementing the proposed model. The efficiency of the proposed model was proved by analyzing different sensitivities and the best components of the risk-averse decision-making purchasing portfolio in β=5 included from the energy exchange, then from the energy pool, and finally from bilateral contracts.
