Bidding strategy of power generation companies in the centralized electricity spot market

Abstract

With the development of China’s power market reform, the spot market has gradually opened up. The spot market is characterized by volatility and uncertainty. Generators urgently need to manage spot market trading income and risks to avoid the risk of spot price fluctuations. This paper studies the bidding strategies of power generation companies in the concentrated spot market, proposes a risk-return coordination method based on the probability of winning bids and conducts case verification. The example shows that the method can assist the power generation companies to formulate bidding strategies.
