Analysis of Electricity Market Prices Using Multidimensional Scaling

This paper studies the impact of the energy upon electricity markets using Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). Data from major energy and electricity markets is considered. Several maps produced by MDS are presented and discussed revealing that this method is useful for understanding the correlation between them. Furthermore, the results help electricity markets agents hedging against Market Clearing Price (MCP) volatility.

Multidimensional Scaling Analysis of Stock Market Indexes

This paper applies multidimensional scaling techniques and Fourier transform for visualizing possible time-varying correlations between 25 stock market values. The method is useful for observing clusters of stock markets with similar behavior.

Cournot model with investments to change the market size

We present a new deterministic dynamical model on the market size of Cournot competitions, based on Nash equilibria of R&D investment strategies to increase the size of the market of the firms at every period of the game. We compute the unique Nash equilibrium for the second subgame and the profit functions for both firms. Adding uncertainty to the R&D investment strategies, we get a new stochastic dynamical model and we analyse the importance of the uncertainty to reverse the initial advantage of one firm with respect to the other.

Multi-agent simulation of competitive electricity markets: Autonomous systems cooperation for European market modeling

The electricity market restructuring, and its worldwide evolution into regional and even continental scales, along with the increasing necessity for an adequate integration of renewable energy sources, is resulting in a rising complexity in power systems operation. Several power system simulators have been developed in recent years with the purpose of helping operators, regulators, and involved players to understand and deal with this complex and constantly changing environment. The main contribution of this paper is given by the integration of several electricity market and power system models, respecting to the reality of different countries. This integration is done through the development of an upper ontology which integrates the essential concepts necessary to interpret all the available information. The continuous development of Multi-Agent System for Competitive Electricity Markets platform provides the means for the exemplification of the usefulness of this ontology. A case study using the proposed multi-agent platform is presented, considering a scenario based on real data that simulates the European Electricity Market environment, and comparing its performance using different market mechanisms. The main goal is to demonstrate the advantages that the integration of various market models and simulation platforms have for the study of the electricity markets’ evolution.

Optimização da orçamentação para operações complexas de maquinagem

As operações de maquinagem de componentes tendo em vista os mais diversos sectores de actividade têm registado um crescimento sustentável em Portugal, devido a inúmeros factores como a modernização do nosso parque de equipamentos, a competitividade da nossa mão-de-obra e a qualidade patenteada pelos serviços prestados pelas nossas empresas, cada vez mais conscientes da importância que os clientes internacionais assumem na sua actividade, da necessidade de cumprimento dos compromissos estabelecidos em termos de prazo de entrega e da procura incessante de novos mercados e sectores de actividade que potenciem um valor-acrescentado mais atractivo do produto. As solicitações do mercado no sector de actividade de prestação de serviços de maquinagem são imensas, e sempre extremamente condicionadas em termos de tempo de resposta. Por outro lado, os prestadores deste tipo de serviço ficam limitados por duas situações-limite: uma orçamentação por defeito poderá conduzir a prejuízos indesejáveis, ou mesmo incomportáveis, enquanto um preço excessivamente elevado poderá afastar o possível cliente e impedir a conquista de um novo projecto. Orçamentar depressa e bem é uma operação complexa, que requer uma análise muito cuidada dos desenhos fornecidos pelo possível cliente, delinear a sequência operatória, salvaguardar as tolerâncias e tipos de acabamento pretendidos, minimizar as operações de fixação e seleccionar as melhores ferramentas para efectuar o trabalho pretendido. Este trabalho, desenvolvido para a TECNOLANEMA, empresa do Grupo LANEMA, que é especialista na produção de peças em plástico técnico e em ligas de alumínio para os mais diversos sectores de actividade, tanto em Portugal como no Estrangeiro. O trabalho desenvolvido visou criar uma aplicação informática que permitisse elaborar orçamentos de forma rápida e precisa, através de determinados factores-chave previamente estudados. O projecto foi concluído e testado com sucesso na empresa.
