| Summary: | In this paper, a novel framework for the estimation of optimal investment strategies for combined wind-thermal companies is proposed. The medium-term restructured power market was simulated by considering the stochastic and rational uncertainties, the wind uncertainty was evaluated based on a data mining technique, and the electricity demand and fuel price were simulated using the Monte Carlo method. The Cournot game concept was used to determine the Nash equilibrium for each state and stage of the stochastic dynamic programming (DP). Furthermore, the long-term stochastic uncertainties were modeled based on the Markov chain process. The long-term optimal investment strategies were then solved for combined wind-thermal investors based on the semi-definite programming (SDP) technique. Finally, the proposed framework was implemented in the hypothetical restructured power market using the IEEE reliability test system (RTS). The conducted case study confirmed that this framework provides robust decisions and precise information about the restructured power market for combined wind-thermal investors. © 2019, The Author(s). |
