Abstract

Deep integration of renewable energies into the electricity grid is restricted by the problems related to their intermittent and uncertain nature. These problems affect both system operators and renewable power plant owners since, due to the electricity market rules, plants need to report their production some hours in advance and are, hence, exposed to possible penalties associated with unfulfillment of energy production. In this context, energy storage systems appear as a promising solution to reduce the stochastic nature of renewable sources. Furthermore, batteries can also be used for performing energy arbitrage, which consists in shifting energy and selling it at higher price hours. In this paper, a bidding optimization algorithm is used for enhancing profitability and minimizing the battery loss of value. The algorithm considers the participation in both day-ahead and intraday markets, and a sensitivity analysis is conducted to check the profitability variation related to prediction uncertainty. The obtained results highlight the importance of bidding in intraday markets to compensate the prediction errors and show that, for the Iberian Electricity Market, the uncertainty does not significantly affect the final benefits.
