Abstract

This paper develops optimal pump-hydro unit bidding strategies in a competitive electricity market. Starting from a weekly forecasted market clearing price (MCP) curve, an algorithm to maximize the profit of a pump-hydro unit considering reserve bids is developed. A comparison between the optimal bidding strategy and a fixed-schedule weekly generating and pumping strategy is provided.
