Hydro inflow forecasting with most accurate quantitative models is a very crucial subject for effective hydro optimization, virtual power plant pricing, volume risk management and weather derivatives pricing in the Turkish electricity market. Predicting increase or decrease in hydro inflow, seasonal characteristics of hydrological years such as wet, dry or normal, allow the decision makers to economically use water for optimal periods, quantify of volume risk and determine effective portfolio management strategies. In this study, we focus on defining and pricing a hydroelectricity power plant as a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). For pricing of this non-standard option, we worked on inflow and price scenarios and optimization model with the possible real world constraints. For the hydro inflow forecasting that will be used in optimization model, we applied Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model with Exogenous Variable (SARIMAX), whereas lagged indexed precipitation data, having the highest correlation with historical inflow data, is included as exogenous variable. In addition to point forecast of hydro inflow, we generated various inflow scenarios by using the distribution of model fit residuals as stochastic processes for defined VPP. Moreover, we worked on hydro optimization problem where objective function is maximizing the expected value of generation by tracing to generated inflow and price scenarios. Price scenarios are simulated by using the hourly shape of historical Day Ahead Market (DAM) prices. As a result, we could analyze the optimization outputs according to different price and inflow levels. For defined VPP, Volume at Risk measure is expressed to explain the meaning of risky volume for the valuation of VPP. Furthermore, in the last section of the study, by the help of the flexibility of optimization model, by using different constraints, we worked on the constructions, solutions and evaluations of different optimization cases as a significant contribution in academic literature and common practice in current electricity markets.

Forecasting the Hydro Inflow and Optimization of Virtual Power Plant Pricing
Çabuk, Sezer; Mert, Özenç Murat; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Kalaycı, Erkan (Springer, 2021-01-01)
Hydro inflow forecasting is crucial for effective hydro optimization, virtual power plant pricing, volume risk management, and weather derivatives pricing in the electricity markets. Predicting hydro inflow allows the decision-makers to economically use water for optimal periods, quantify volume risk and determine effective portfolio management strategies. This study aims pricing a hydroelectricity power plant as a Virtual Power Plant based on Turkish energy markets. For pricing of such a non-standard optio...
A decision support tool for feasibility assessment of hydro electrical power plant projects
Ercan, Noyan; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
The objective of this thesis is to develop a decision support tool to assess the feasibility of a hydro electrical power plant (HEPP) investment option by estimating its profitability under various scenarios. The decision support tool may help the decision makers to understand critical parameters that affect the internal rate of return (IRR) of a HEPP investment, create realistic scenarios by assigning different values to these parameters and monitor profitability under various scenarios. The information an...
On the parametric and nonparametric prediction methods for electricity load forecasting
Erişen, Esra; İyigün, Cem; Department of Industrial Engineering (2013)
Accurate electricity load forecasting is of great importance in deregulated electricity markets. Market participants can reap significant financial benefits by improving their electricity load forecasts. Electricity load exhibits a complex time series structure with nonlinear relationships between the variables. Hence, new models with higher capabilities to capture such nonlinear relationships need to be developed and tested. In this thesis, we present a parametric and a nonparametric method for short-term ...
Day ahead markets
Kütaruk, Kaan; Sevaioğlu, Osman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
Day Ahead Market is a mechanism in electricity markets for adjusting the supply-demand energy and capacity balance by providing bids one day before the clearing. Market operator needs to know the available energy and capacity for reaching minimal-cost supply-demand balance one day earlier than the market has been cleared. Minimizing cost of the electricity and capacity during 24 hours of a day requires accurate information concerning the available electricity and capacity. Day-ahead marketing activity is pe...
