Resumo: | |||||||||||||
Despite recent trend for investment in renewable energy, high volatility in shortterm
markets still may hinder some opportunities. Forwarding contracting is essential
even in Over The Counter (OTC) markets such as the Brazilian Free Trading
Environment. Forward contracts allow reducing revenue uncertainty, help ensure supply
adequacy by signaling generation expansion and may also be required for project
financing in new ventures. Still, renewable sources face the additional risk of uncertain
generation, which, in low periods, combined with high spot prices, pose the hazardous
price-quantity risk. Renewable investment may be fostered by applying risk management
techniques such as forward contracting, diversification and optimal investment timing. By
trading contracts and exploiting the seasonal complementarity of the renewable sources, it
is possible to reduce risk exposure. The problem of investment in renewable energy
plants may be seen as a multistage stochastic optimization model with integer variables,
which is very hard to solve. The main approaches in the current literature simplify the
problem by reducing the dimensionality of the scenario tree or by assuming simplifying
hypothesis on the stochastic processes. Our objective is to introduce a renewable
investment valuation framework, considering the main uncertainty sources and portfolio
investment alternatives. The main contribution of this work is a method to solve, by
applying decomposition techniques, the problem of optimal investment in seasonal
complementary renewable plants in the Brazilian energy market. This is a multistage
stochastic and non-convex problem. Our investment policies are devised using an
algorithm based on Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming (SDDP). Integrality
constraints are considered in the forward step, where policies are evaluated, and relaxed
in the backward step, where policies are built, to ensure convexity of the recourse
functions. Numerical results show that it
is not possible to assume stagewise independence of the price processes. We maintain the
Markovian property of the stochastic processes by a discretization of the probability
space, solvable by a known extension to the SDDP method. Performance evaluation is
carried out using the original data, validating our heuristic. A forward energy price model
is required in our framework. We apply the Schwartz-Smith model with spot and OTC
data of the Brazilian market to build such a forward price curve. The framework is able to
represent the characteristics of the Brazilian FTE and may be applied to similar markets.
We incorporate risk aversion with coherent measures of risk and evaluate alternative
strategies based on modern risk management concepts.
