Bidding strategy selection in a day-ahead electricity auction system

The paper focuses on bidding selection mechanisms based both on offer price and electricity-quantity strategies. The aim of the paper is to present a procedure that allows the use of both game theory and of detailed cost-based unit-commitment computer codes. The procedure is conceived in a way to be as much as possible independent of the specific market rules. The results of a preliminary analysis are shown, concerning simple test cases that incorporate some distinctive characteristics of electricity markets and power plants.
