El passat dijous 9 de juliol de 2009 es va llegir el Projecte Final de Carrera dels alumnes Silvia Nieto i Ivan Ruz, que portava per títol "Estudi i optimització de l’oferta al Mercat Ibèric ’Electricitat (MIBEL)", dirigit pel professor Javier Heredia. Els objectius del treball han estat:
- Fer una descriptiva de les dades obtingudes de les energies tèrmiques per veure el comportament que hi tenen.
- Entendre el model d'optimització d'oferta presentat a l'article [1], i compendre la seva implementació.
- Entendre el model d'optimització d'oferta de l'article [2] i resoldre una nova modelització adaptant aquest model a l'anterior fent els canvis pertinents.
- Comparar els dos models i treure'n conclusions sobre quin és el més eficient.

| Abstract | The reorganization of the electricity industry in Spain completed a new step with the start-up of the Derivatives Market. One main characteristic of MIBEL’s Derivatives Market is the existence of physical futures contracts; they imply the obligation to settle physically the energy. The market regulation establishes the mechanism for including those physical futures in the day-ahead bidding of the Generation Companies. The goal of this work is to optimize coordination between physical futures contracts and the Day-Ahead bidding which follow this regulation. We propose a stochastic quadratic mixed-integer programming model which maximizes the expected profits, taking into account futures contracts settlement. The model gives the simultaneous optimization for the Day-Ahead Market bidding strategy and power planning production (unit commitment) for the thermal units of a price-taker Generation Company. The uncertainty of the day-ahead market price is included in the stochastic model through a set of scenarios. Implementation details and some first computational experiences for small real cases are presented. |

| Abstract | This paper develops a stochastic programming model that integrates the day-ahead optimal bidding problem with the most recent regulation rules of the Iberian Electricity Market (MIBEL) for bilateral contracts, with a special consideration for the new mechanism to balance the competition of the production market, namely virtual power plants auctions (VPP). The model allows a price-taker generation company to decide the unit commitment of the thermal units, the economic dispatch of the bilateral contracts between the thermal units and the generic programming unit (GPU) and the optimal sale/purchase bids for all units (thermal and generic) observing the MIBEL regulation. The uncertainty of the spot prices is represented through scenario sets built from the most recent real data using scenario reduction techniques. The model was solved with real data from a Spanish generation company and spot prices, and the results are reported and analyzed. |

| Abstract | Conic quadratic optimization is an exciting extension of linear optimization. The excitement comes from that many important applications can be modeled as a conic quadratic optimization problem. Moreover, conic quadratic optimization problems can be effciently solved using an appropriate interior-point method. In this course we will review the topic conic quadratic optimization. The review will include basic theory, important applications, algorithms, and available software. Course topics: 1. Basic properties of Second Order Conic Programming (SOCP). Duality 2. Modelling. Important applications. 3. Algorithms for SOCP. 4. Software for SOCP. |

| Abstract | On Sunday 20 June 2004, there will be four parallel workshops on practical optimisation: MPL (Bjarni Kristjansson, Cormac Lucas), AIMMS (Jan Bisschop), AMPL (Robert Fourer, Patrick Valente) and LGO (Janos Pinter). Three of the workshop streams focus on MIP modelling staring with a simple application which is investigated and extended. By the end of the day the participants will not only have been instructed on how to model and solve efficiently their application but they will have been shown how to embed their applications as solutions behind Excel. During the course of the day each session will have case studies presented. The global optimisation workshop will be on applied nonlinear (global and convex) optimisation, with a focus on algorithm and software development and typically will include software demonstrations, as well as a review of engineering, economic, and scientific applications. |
