Modeling and managing energy risks

Objectif

The continuous development of electricity markets (creation of day-ahead markets at the end of the 90s, recent introduction of intraday markets, integration of European electricity markets etc.), deregulation of the industry and the increasing development of intermittent renewable energies leads to major planning and risk management issues at different scales for energy industry players.
The objective of this course is to introduce students to these new issues in the energy industry, the approaches used, and the mathematical and statistical tools developed to face these new challenges.
 

Course validation: QCM + essay on a paper to choose from "additional references"
