Outline
• Comparison to currency, fixed income and direct investment real estate • Assets and Liabilities • Asset Representation • Distributional Properties • Case Study – Renewables in a medium sized country
![Page 3: Electricity Markets Risk Management and Optimization · Electricity Markets Risk Management and Optimization Wayne Nilsen Newport, RI . June 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042319/5f088c1b7e708231d4228d24/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Slide 3 www.northinfo.com
Direct investment real estate • Power Generation Facilities
– Highly illiquid – Long term investments – Geographically fixed – May provide income in a foreign
currency – Electricity price as the Numéraire – Income amount is uncertain and related
to specific factors
Currency/Fixed income • Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
– Currency swap – The buyer of the PPA receives electricity
while paying currency – Currency paid in exchange for electricity
can be constant or inflation linked
Similarities

Slide 4 www.northinfo.com
Direct investment real estate • Power Generation Facilities
– Highly seasonal cash flows – Payment depends directly on weather
outcomes In the US weather related outcomes are
often hedgeable In other smaller countries these hedges
may not exist or may be expensive o Risk must be managed through
diverse portfolio allocation
Currency/Fixed Income • Different return distribution properties • Electricity cannot be stored at any significant
volume leading to price spikes • Electricity in different geographical places is
different – More like physical commodities which
must be moved (known transmission costs) – Cannot be moved between many locations
• Price taker paradigm is invalid in markets with few participants – High degrees of market impact
Differences

Slide 5 www.northinfo.com
Assets and Liabilities Considered
• Power generation facilities – Focusing today on two types of renewable power plants Photovoltaic Hydroelectric
• Power Production Agreements (PPA) • Spot Energy • American real options (Dixit and Pindyck (1994))
– Representing the option to expand existing infrastructure
![Page 6: Electricity Markets Risk Management and Optimization · Electricity Markets Risk Management and Optimization Wayne Nilsen Newport, RI . June 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042319/5f088c1b7e708231d4228d24/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Slide 6 www.northinfo.com
Asset Representation
• Portfolios of elements within an extended Everything Everywhere model – A single asset may be represented as a portfolio of separate assets within the linear model
• New factors – Sun – Wind – Rainfall
• Existing factors – Oil – Global Bonds – Treasury Curve factors 1, 2 and 3
• Options are represented as a leveraged portfolio with tail-matching distributional behavior
![Page 7: Electricity Markets Risk Management and Optimization · Electricity Markets Risk Management and Optimization Wayne Nilsen Newport, RI . June 2014](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042319/5f088c1b7e708231d4228d24/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Slide 7 www.northinfo.com
Robust Optimization
• Similar to real estate, assets in this case are – Illiquid – Indivisible
• Optimization input parameters are estimated with error – Distance between portfolios measured in Euclidean sense under mean vs standard
deviation two dimensional space – Calculate different efficient frontiers for feasible values of parameters Discretization over risk aversion parameter (RAP)
– Drop the farthest 10% of portfolios for the sake of robustness Distance relative to traditional efficient frontier
– Find the portfolio which falls within the density center of each region by RAP adding further robustness
• Bey, Burgess and Cook (1990), DiBartolomeo (1993)

Slide 8 www.northinfo.com
Distributional Properties
• Hourly Electricity Returns Stylized (Eydeland and Wolyniec (2003)) – Positive Sample Skewness – Sample Leptokurtosis (excess kurtosis, fat tails) (Cont (2001)) – Mean reversion – Jumps in some markets
• Power Generation – Weather dependent – Highly seasonal – Irregular income streams
• Negative correlation between electricity generation and electricity price in small markets • Data
– Solar: one year of hourly generation data – Hydroelectric: 27 years of monthly data from 1972-1999

Summary
• Comparison to other markets • Assets and their representation • Distributional properties of renewable generation facilities • Results
– Allocation between assets to achieve diversification over technologies (photovoltaic, wind and hydroelectric)
– Optimal hedging of spot electricity exposure via PPAs
