These marketplaces have experienced <strong>drastic changes<\/strong> in past years, mainly driven by the <strong>desire<\/strong> to <strong>transition <\/strong>to a more sustainable and <strong>green economy<\/strong>, which entailed the <strong>growing diffusion<\/strong> of power plants fueled by non-programmable <strong>Renewable Energy Sources<\/strong>. Indeed, these units are able to produce much <strong>cheaper <\/strong>and <strong>cleaner <\/strong>energy than traditional CCGT power plants but are causing a <strong>sharp increase<\/strong> in the measures required for the regulation of the Power System, with <strong>balancing resources<\/strong> that have to be procured by Terna, the Italian Transmission System Operator (TSO), on the <strong>Ancillary Services Market (MSD)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politesi.polimi.it\/handle\/10589\/183348\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.politesi.polimi.it\/bitstream\/10589\/183348\/3\/Andrea%20Pasotti%20-%20Prediction%20and%20Interpretation%20of%20bids%20in%20the%20Italian%20Electricity%20Market%20for%20Ancillary%20Services.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prediction and interpretation of bids in the Italian Electricity Market for Ancillary Services<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My Master\u2019s thesis has the aim to provide a <strong>wide-ranging<\/strong> <strong>analysis of MSD<\/strong>, thanks to a thorough <strong>study<\/strong> of the <strong>offer profiles <\/strong>submitted by the Production Units operating in Northern Italy. The obtained results combine the <strong>technical knowledge<\/strong> of the departments of <strong>Energy and Mathematics<\/strong> of <strong>Politecnico di Milano<\/strong> and the <strong>practical experience<\/strong> on electricity markets of the <strong>Research Institute RSE<\/strong>, which supported the initial portion of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work is focused on the <strong>specific service denoted as &#8220;GR1&#8221; on MSD ex-ante<\/strong>, considering bids of both upward and downward types. These <strong>offers <\/strong>will be <strong>interpreted <\/strong>on the basis of <strong>many predictors<\/strong>, including both endogenous and exogenous data to the electricity markets. My findings confirmed the intricacy of the market MSD and showed how <strong>different operators<\/strong> tend to <strong>manage their power plants in various<br>ways<\/strong>, with <strong>disparate degrees<\/strong> of both <strong>variability <\/strong>and <strong>effectiveness <\/strong>of the submitted bids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"read-the-executive-summary-of-my-work\"><strong>Read my work:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-b3f40082-a556-4aeb-9497-7deec5d46f87\" href=\"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ES.2-Executive-Summary-Master-Thesis-Pasotti.pdf\">Executive Summary | Prediction and Interpretation of bids in the Italian Electricity Market for Ancillary Services<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/ES.2-Executive-Summary-Master-Thesis-Pasotti.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-b3f40082-a556-4aeb-9497-7deec5d46f87\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-b3f40082-a556-4aeb-9497-7deec5d46f87\" href=\"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/5.2-Master-Thesis-Pasotti-RSE-All-Chapters.pdf\">Prediction and Interpretation of bids in the Italian Electricity Market for Ancillary Services<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/5.2-Master-Thesis-Pasotti-RSE-All-Chapters.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-b3f40082-a556-4aeb-9497-7deec5d46f87\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read the overview of my Master&#8217;s thesis at Politecnico di Milano: &#8220;Prediction and interpretation of bids in the Italian Electricity Market for Ancillary Services&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":327,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5],"tags":[19,17,15,18,14,20,16],"class_list":["post-316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-engineering","category-statistics","tag-analisi-statistica","tag-ancillary-services-market","tag-italian-electricity-markets","tag-mercato-dei-servizi-di-dispacciamento","tag-msd","tag-statistical-analysis","tag-terna","clearfix"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":346,"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316\/revisions\/346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.andreapasotti.it\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
