Abstract

In this paper, a three-stage stochastic bi-level optimization framework is presented for optimal participation of wind power producers (WPPs) in day-ahead (DA), intraday, and balancing markets. In this framework, to leverage demand response (DR) services, a peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading platform is implemented that allows local load aggregators (LAs) to contribute to the intraday markets improving both LAs’ and WPP’s benefits. Participating in the intraday DR exchange (IDRX) market enables WPP to purchase DR services from LAs, to reduce the penalty cost on the deviation between the day-head bidding and the real-time dispatch. A Stackelberg game for the bi-level decision-making model captures the conflict of interests between the WPP and LAs, in which, the upper level seeks to maximize WPP profit, while the lower level aims to maximize LAs’ economic surplus. The bi-level model is converted into its equivalent single-level mixed-integer quadratic problem (MIQP) employing the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions and strong duality theorem. Simulation results show that participation of the WPP in the IDRX market and employing spinning reserve and DR services for compensating the uncertainties are greatly dependent on its risk preferences and increase its expected profit in all conditions, significantly.
