Abstract
In this paper, we present details of integrating an agent-based model, Electricity Market Complex Adaptive System (EMCAS) with a hydro-thermal coordination model, VALORAGUA. EMCAS provides a framework for simulating deregulated markets with flexible regulatory structure along with bidding strategies for supply offers and demand bids. VALORAGUA provides longer-term operation plans by optimizing hydro and thermal power plant operation for the entire year. In addition, EMCAS uses the price forecasts and weekly hydro schedules from VALORAGUA to provide intra-week hydro plant optimization for hourly supply offers. The integrated model is then applied to the Iberian electricity market which includes about 111 thermal plants and 38 hydro power plants. We then analyze the impact of hydro plant supply offers on the market prices and ways to minimize the Gencospsila exposure to price risk.

Survey on Complex Optimization and Simulation for the New Power Systems Paradigm

TL;DR: The survey concludes that the study of the integration of distributed renewable generation, demand response, electric vehicles, or even aggregators in the electricity market is still very poor and adequate models and tools to address uncertainty in energy scheduling solutions are crucial to deal with new resources.

Evaluating the potential impact of transmission constraints on the operation of a competitive electricity market in Illinois.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an initial determination if the transmission system in Illinois and the surrounding region would be able to support a competitive electricity market, would allow effective competition to keep prices in check, and would allow for new market participants to effectively compete for market share.

Multi-agent simulations of the electricity market in central Europe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) and applied it in electricity markets in Central Europe, where they looked at production cost, impact of CO-sub 2 emission allowances, strategic bidding in Germany and demand response.
