Projektbeschreibung
Lösung für eine wirksame und krisenresistente Energiepreisermittlung
Die jüngste Energiekrise hat den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel und den Übergang zu saubereren Energielösungen verschärft, da Gesellschaften mit stark steigenden Energiekosten konfrontiert sind. Hitzige Debatten haben die Grenzen zwischen Systemen und Märkten verwischt und einen „Wind des Wandels“ in der Gestaltung des Strommarktes offenbart, dessen Richtung unklar bleibt. Ziel des ERC-finanzierten Projekts CRISP ist es, diese Gelegenheit zu nutzen, um eine gerechte und ausgewogene Dekarbonisierung zu fördern, indem bahnbrechende Theorien, innovative Methoden und neue Mechanismen zur Ermittlung wirksamer und krisenresistenter Preise entwickelt werden. Die Projektarbeit wird den zusätzlichen Nutzen haben, dass die Kluft zwischen den marktgesteuerten Ergebnissen und den Entscheidungen der Netzbetreiber minimiert wird. Dazu wird das CRISP-Team neue Konzepte erforschen, die auf verallgemeinerter linearer Programmierung, adaptiver robuster Optimierung und interpretierbarem maschinellem Lernen basieren.
Ziel
Can we turn the Energy Crisis into an opportunity that advances the clean energy transition? Yes, we can, and we pave the path leading to just and equitable decarbonization. Debates that followed extreme events in Europe and the US pointed to a “wind of change” for the power market design and the price discovery process. Operators are put in the corner, inheriting market schedules that they more and more amend using their judgement, whereas they are also accountable for their out-of-market decisions. The process is inherently sub-optimal and costly! Extreme events may turn annual market revenues into daily energy costs!
I will explore innovative ideas in Generalized Linear Programming and adaptive robust optimization with data-driven uncertainty sets, to support network and reliability related operator decisions, and novel machine learning developments to remove computational barriers while maintaining interpretability. Tackling major obstacles that derive from non-convexities, externalities, and uncertainty (to date open problems), leveraging demand adaptability, and combining optimization with economic theory, I will break new ground by (i) defining efficient, adaptive, and robust prices that minimize the gap between market outcomes and operator decisions, and (ii) designing innovative protection mechanisms that dynamically delineate the (blurred) boundaries between systems and markets encoding crisis resilience and shielding from catastrophic financial impacts.
CRISP will break the barriers that have restricted power markets to “half-markets” for more than 30 years tapping adaptable demand and set the foundations for efficient scheduling and correct investment signals in innovation, infrastructure, resource adequacy, and sustainability. The theoretical and computational breakthroughs will benefit a wide class of problems (scheduling, routing, and others) and are also relevant to integrated grids and systems hampered similarly by climate change and extreme events.
