Abstract

The framework is based on stochastic processes with economic interpretations and is consistent with the initial forward price curve

Highlights

  • In recent years the electricity intraday markets have gained increased popularity: the traded volume at the German/Austrian intraday market has grown by 30.3 percent from May 2016 to May 2018 (EPEX, 2017, 2018)

  • In this paper we introduce a flexible HJM-type framework that allows for consistent modelling of intraday, spot, futures, and option prices

  • This framework is based on stochastic processes with economic interpretations and consistent with the initial term structure given in the form of a price forward curve

Summary

Introduction

In recent years the electricity intraday markets have gained increased popularity: the traded volume at the German/Austrian intraday market has grown by 30.3 percent from May 2016 to May 2018 (EPEX, 2017, 2018). Modelling the forward kernel instead of the day-ahead spot price makes this an HJM approach for power prices. We follow the idea of Caldana et al (2017) that the prices of day-ahead spot and futures contracts both should be computed by Equation (1.1). This sounds intuitively since, for example at the German markets, day-ahead spot contracts are traded at least twelve hours before delivery. In other countries such as the US the terminology is different: the day-ahead spot price is commonly referred to as the forward price (Longstaff & Wang, 2004).
