Electricity Virtual Bidding Strategy Via Entropy-Regularized Stochastic Control Method

Abstract: We propose a virtual bidding strategy by modeling the price differences between the day-ahead market and the real-time market as Brownian motion with drift, where the drift rate and volatility are functions of meteorological variables. We then transform the virtual bidding problem into a mean-variance portfolio management problem, where we approach the mean-variance portfolio management problem by using the exploratory mean-variance portfolio management framework
