Multiband Robust Optimization for optimal energy offering under price uncertainty

  • We consider the problem of a price-taker generating company that wants to select energy offering strategies for its generation units, to maximize the profit while considering the uncertainty of market price. First, we review central references available in literature about the use of Robust Optimization (RO) for price-uncertain energy offering, pointing out how they can expose to the risk of suboptimal and even infeasible offering. We then propose a new RO method for energy offering that overcomes all the limits of other RO methods. We show the effectiveness of the new method on realistic instances provided by our industrial partners, getting very high increases in profit. Our method is based on Multiband Robustness (MR - Büsing, D'Andreagiovanni, 2012), an RO model that refines the classical RO model by Bertsimas and Sim, while maintaining its computational tractability and accessibility. MR is essentially based on the use of histogram-like uncertainty sets, which result particularly suitable to represent empirical distributions commonly available in uncertain real-world optimization problems.
