| Sumario: | The high penetration of wind based electricity production has a notable effect on the electricity market prices in Germany. It is important to properly integrate the high level of wind generation into the liberalised electricity markets in order to make them more competitive and representing the actual costs. Two markets, the German EPEX Day-ahead Spot and the Intraday Continuous can hold potential arbitrages between them. This thesis is aiming to investigate nature of the listed markets and their trading opportunities. Firstly, a testing method is introduced and applied on the markets to justify the search of arbitrage. Secondly, the correlation of the actual wind generation and forecasts regarding to the market pricing is investigated. Thirdly, the intraday continuous market’s order book is analysed in regards of trading potentials. Lastly, strategy development steps are introduced in order to create profitable trading strategies between the day-ahead and intraday continuous markets. The goal of this thesis is to investigate and provide a guide for the creation of such trading algorithms. Hopefully, this thesis can provide a good start, justification and viewpoint for further projects on this topic. |
