Optimization techniques can be used in many different fields of the energy industry, in order to reduce production and financial costs, increase sales revenues and mitigate all kinds of risks potentially affecting the economic margin. For this reason the industry has now focused its attention on the general concept of optimization and to the different techniques (mainly mathematical techniques) to reach it. Optimization Methods for Gas and Power Markets presents both theoretical elements and practical examples for solving energy optimization issues in gas and power markets. Starting with the theoretical framework and the basic business and economics of power and gas optimization, it quickly moves on to review the mathematical optimization problems inherent to the industry, and their solutions - all supported with examples from the energy sector. Coverage ranges from very long-term (and capital intensive) optimization problems such as investment valuation/diversification to asset (gas and power) optimization/hedging problems, and pure trading decisions. This book first presents the readers with various examples of optimization problems arising in power and gas markets, then deals withgeneral optimization problems and describes the mathematical tools useful for their solution. The remainder of the book is dedicated to presenting a number of key business cases which apply the proposed techniques to concrete market problems. Topics include static asset optimization, real option evaluation, dynamic optimization of structured products like swing, virtual storage or virtual power plant contracts and optimal trading in intra-day power markets. As the book progresses, so too does the level of mathematical complexity, providing readers with an appreciation of the growing sophistication of even common problems in current market practice. Optimization Methods for Gas and Power Markets provides a valuable quantitative guide to the technicalities of optimization methodologies in gas and power markets; it is essential reading for practitioners in the energy industry and financial sector who work in trading, quantitative analysis and energy risk modeling.Applied Quantitative Finance,2947-7018EconometricsEnergy policyEnergy policyBusiness mathematicsFinanceSocial sciencesHumanitiesEconometricsEnergy Policy, Economics and ManagementBusiness MathematicsFinancial EconomicsHumanities and Social SciencesEconometrics.Energy policy.Energy policy.Business mathematics.Finance.Social sciences.Humanities.Econometrics.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Business Mathematics.Financial Economics.Humanities and Social Sciences.333.793/23Edoli Enricoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut961809Fiorenzani Stefanoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autVargiolu Tizianoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910254884703321Optimization Methods for Gas and Power Markets2242538UNINA
