Foreword I

The electricity market is currently entering a period of significant changes with the development of intermittent renewable energies and demand-response mechanisms. Already quite complex to manage because electricity cannot be stored at reasonable cost and because electricity follows all available paths (according to the Kirchhoff’s principles), the laws of the market and the pricing system are entering a new era of development. The questions dealt with are quite complex on a mathematical standpoint with high level optimization problems. Do not be afraid: several mathematical formulae appear in the text. Nevertheless, these questions are practicable and really usable by traders and the utilities market. It is not an academic book, it is a book for the industry.
