• Abstract: In power markets, Green Power Purchase Agreements have become an important contractual tool of the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources such as wind or solar radiation. Trading Green PPAs exposes agents to price risks and weather risks. Also, developed electricity markets feature the so-called cannibalisation effect : large infeeds induce low prices and vice versa. As weather is a non-tradable entity the question arises how to hedge and risk-manage in this highly incom-plete setting. We propose a ''deep hedging'' framework utilising machine learning methods to construct hedging strategies. The resulting strategies outperform static and dynamic benchmark strategies with respect to different risk measures.

  Power grids are moving towards 100% renewable energy source bulk power grids. Traditional root cause analysis and statistical approaches are rendered inapplicable to analyze and infer the main drivers behind price formation. We propose a machine learning-based analysis framework to deconstruct the primary drivers for price spike events in modern electricity markets with high renewable energy.

• Understanding electricity prices beyond the merit order principle using explainable AI [0.0]
  In perfect competition, the merit order principle describes that dispatchable power plants enter the market in the order of their marginal costs. Many market models implement this principle to predict electricity prices but typically require certain assumptions and simplifications. We present an explainable machine learning model for the prices on the German day-ahead market, which substantially outperforms a benchmark model.

  We find that capacity has an impact on the average electricity price in a single year. The value of $sim$25% and $sim$11% may vary between market structures and countries. We observe that the use of a market cap of approximately double the average market price has the effect of significantly decreasing this effect and maintaining a competitive market.

Results indicate that the agent converges to a policy that achieves in average higher total revenues than the benchmark strategy.
