Participation of Wind Power Producers in Intra-day Markets: A Case-Study

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 study to investigate the active participation of wind power producers in energy markets, particularly intra-day markets. The study is carried out with the help of the MATREM system. The 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 incentive policies.
