Abstract

In electricity markets, participants employ diverse strategies when submitting their bids. From a realistic perspective, it can be considered that participants aim to increase profitability and thus maintain their market presence. However, unlike profit maximization, participants' bidding behaviors are shaped by considerations like available capacity, market prices, market risk, etc. This research aims to investigate the bidding behaviors of electricity market participants using Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL). IRL aims to identify an objective function (reward function) from the historical bidding behaviors of an optimally behaving market participant. In this study, different IRL structures are utilized for linear or nonlinear reward function assumptions. In addition, the bidding behaviors of power plants using different energy sources, such as wind, gas, coal, etc., are comparatively analyzed. The research relies on data sourced from the Australian electricity market.
