  Optimizing strategies in energy and storage markets

  PD Dr. John Schoenmakers / Prof. Dr. Vladimir Spokoiny

  Project heads: PD Dr. John Schoenmakers / Prof. Dr. Vladimir Spokoiny
  Project members: Roland Hildebrand
  Duration: -
  Status: completed
  Located at: Weierstraß-Institut
  

  Description

  The project aims at developing numerical methods for the solution of complex optimal control problems arising in energy production, storage, and trading on energy markets. As a first step, we implement a Monte-Carlo approach to a hydro-electricity production and storage problem coupled with a stochastic model of the electricity market. Further we develop algorithms for pricing of complex energy derivatives based on the dual martingale approach.

  Decisions in energy markets via deep learning and optimal control

  PD Dr. John Schoenmakers / Prof. Dr. Vladimir Spokoiny

  Project heads: PD Dr. John Schoenmakers / Prof. Dr. Vladimir Spokoiny
  Project members: Dr. Alexandra Suvorikova
  Duration: 01.06.2017 - 31.12.2018
  Status: completed
  Located at: Weierstraß-Institut
  

  Description

  One of the main goals in this project is a systematic numerical treatment of generic optimal decision problems in real-life applications that encounter in energy markets by incorporating ``deep Learning'', a recent concept for data analysis and prediction. Also it is intended to include principles of deep learning in methods for forecasting and estimating price distribution processes in a systematic way.
