    Abstract

    With the restructuring of the electricity industry, the producers of the electricity industry appear as independent entities in the electricity market. In fact, the power plants must supply their produced electricity to the electricity market, and the financial settlement is done through the electricity market. In this research, the issue of optimal pricing strategy for a manufacturer has been raised. The main goal of the problem plan is to obtain the maximum possible profit from the sale of electricity in a period of market implementation. The technical limitations of the power plant, such as the physical limitation of production, the limitation of the rate of output changes, the limitation of the off/on time are also included in the definition of the problem. To consider the strategy of other competitors in the market, the probabilistic model for the market price has also been used. A hybrid algorithm is used to solve the existing optimization problem. The basis of the desired algorithm is PSO, in which the logic of the GSO algorithm is used to improve the efficiency of this algorithm. In the numerical control section, the desired problem has been solved for a sample producer in Iran's electricity market. The results of numerical studies show that the proposed method is able to propose a suitable strategy in the electricity market. In addition, the profit of the generator has been positive in all hours. Also, in the hours when the electricity market price changes were high, the offered prices were lower than the average value, and in the hours when the market price changes were low, the offered prices were higher than the average market price.

    1- Introduction

    With the development of power systems, environmental and economic considerations on the one hand and the issue of security and the continuity of reliable system work on the other hand, there are challenges for planners. designers and operators of the system. These issues have led researchers to investigate solving these challenges in the electricity industry in recent decades.

    In the past, power systems had a vertical structure[1], which means that the production of electrical energy, its transmission and distribution in an area, was carried out by a control unit. Small and large consumers bought the energy they needed from the government, and the electricity market system was monopolar [2] (monopoly). In fact, the governments managed the electricity market by building small and large power plants in different parts of the country or region and transferring it to the places of consumption and distribution, and they supervised the entire system by a central unit. With the increasing expansion of electrical energy systems and the optimal use of resources, economic competition and environmental restrictions, the trend towards a multipolar (competitive) market developed and the need for it made governments encourage companies and enterprises to invest and participate in the electricity industry. This change in laws and the application of government economic incentives to control the increasing growth of the electricity industry was proposed as deregulation[3].

    This, which leads to the privatization of the electricity industry in the production and sales sectors, took place in Chile in 1982, in Argentina in 1992, and then in the countries of Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, Colombia, El Salvador, Panama, Brazil, Mexico, Scotland, and Ireland. North, Norway, England, Spain, Holland and parts of the United States of America have been implemented in different ways[1]. By providing better service and cheaper energy, more buyers are attracted, which brings more profit to the supplier, and on the other hand, the buyers also get more benefits. Energy suppliers are brokers [4] who sell energy to customers. Although they may not be producers, they can buy the production share of power plants. This new structure of the power system challenges the concepts of the past. In the past, the focus of research was on the formulation of some practical limitations such as bus voltage range, production limitations, transmission line capacity, possible limitations, environmental considerations and such issues..

    In order to guarantee the free access[5] of suppliers and buyers to the transmission system, the operation of the transmission system requires independence from the market shares[6]. Independent system operators [7] play the role of central coordinator, and fulfill their important responsibility by providing security and reliability of the system. Also, ISO guarantees the quality and security of the system.

    Transmission and distribution environments in competitive systems with open access and the issues related to them are of undeniable importance. In network management structures, whether as a combination of system operator [8] and market operator [9] or as an independent system operator, transmission systems have a special role as energy transmission highways. In the SO+MO system, the management of the competitive market and all matters related to the purchase and sale contracts are separate from the network operator, but in the ISO structure, both of the mentioned items are performed by the independent network operator. 2- The traditional structure of the electricity industry. This industry operated as an integrated monopoly with a vertical structure, and the ownership of all production, transmission and distribution facilities was in the hands of the national or local electricity company, and only this company was allowed to produce, transmit, distribute and sell electricity in its service territory, and was also obliged to meet the needs of all consumers, not necessarily those that make a profit. The operational and business practices of these companies should be in accordance with the guidelines and rules provided by the government supervisors, and the rates of the electricity company should be in accordance with the government regulations.
