AI learns to bid in European energy markets

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new approach for bidding in European Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) markets, addressing the challenge of hidden competitor offers and partial market feedback. The proposed method recasts the problem as a repeated multi-unit uniform-price auction, enabling the adaptation of a combinatorial semi-bandit algorithm. This learning-based strategy achieves logarithmic pseudo-regret in stochastic environments and sub-linear regret in adversarial ones, demonstrating practical competitiveness through synthetic experiments and historical data backtests.

    Learning to Bid in FCR Markets: A Best-of-Both-Worlds Approach

    arXiv:2605.31070v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bidding in the European Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) market is challenging for flexibility providers because competing offers are hidden and bidders observe only partial feedback form the market, such as, clearing price and a…
