Maestro

Maestro = Market equilibrium under risk-aversion and with strorage 

The research project assesses storage in risk-averse energy market equilibria. We investigate whether more storage capacity with high efficiency can help risk-averse market participants to hedge against undesirable outcomes, or, by contrast, storage may mainly introduce new risks. In other words, we investigate whether storage can contribute to complete the market; in a complete market every payoff profile is attainable by a replication portfolio of existing assets. The analysis is for electricity markets but may be applicable to other commodity markets with limited storage capacity.

In a first seed phase of 2020-2024, we conducted a SNSF-sponsored project (http://p3.snf.ch/project-185149), to understand the the theoretical foundation of risk-averse equilibrium modeling. In a second phase until 2025, we consider models with real-world energy market data.
