Abstract

The evolution of renewable energy has increased substantially over the past decade. Wind power producers (WPPs) can submit bids to energy markets, making short-term commitments to produce specific quantities of energy. This article presents a case-study to analyze the benefits of the active participation of wind power producers in energy markets, particularly intra-day markets. The case-study is carried out with the help of the MATREM system. The preliminary results indicate a reduction of the deviations of WPPs, but also a decreasing in their remuneration. Thus, the results highlight to some extent the importance of new market mechanisms to enable the active participation of WPPs in markets, without support policies.

  1. 1.

    Agent \(P_{1}\) results from the aggregation of eight WPPs situated in the center of Portugal (henceforth, each WPP is referred to as \(WPP_{j}\), j = 1,...,8).
