class assume.strategies.advanced_orders.flexableEOMBlock(*args, **kwargs)#

Bases: BaseStrategy

The foresight for the EOM-market.

Type:

pandas.Timedelta

Parameters:
  • *args – Variable length argument list.

  • **kwargs – Arbitrary keyword arguments.

calculate_bids(unit: SupportsMinMax, market_config: MarketConfig, product_tuples: list[assume.common.market_objects.Product], **kwargs) list[assume.common.market_objects.Order]#

Calculates block bids for the EOM-market and returns a list of bids consisting of the start time, end time, only hours, price, volume and bid type.

The bids take the following form: One block bid with the minimum acceptance ratio set to 1 spanning the total clearing period. It uses the inflexible power and the weighted average price of the inflexible power as the price. This price is based on the marginal cost of the inflexible power and the starting costs. The starting costs are split across inflexible power and the average operation or down time of the unit depending on the operation status before. Additionally, for every hour where the unit is on, a separate flexible bid is created using the flexible power and marginal costs as bidding price.

Parameters:
  • unit (SupportsMinMax) – A unit that the unit operator manages.

  • market_config (MarketConfig) – A market configuration.

  • product_tuples (list[Product]) – A list of tuples containing the start and end time of each product.

episodes_collecting_initial_experience#

Number of episodes to collect initial experience.

Type:

int

Parameters:
  • *args – Variable length argument list.

  • **kwargs – Arbitrary keyword arguments.

Note

This strategy is based on the strategy in flexable.py, but uses the actor network to determine the prices instead of using the marginal costs as in flexable.py. The two prices for flexible and inflexible power are determined by the actor network, which is trained with the MATD3 algorithm. The maximum of those two prices is used for the flexible bid and the minimum for the inflexible bid. The order type is set implicitly (not by the RL agent itself) and the structure depends on the allowed order types: If only simple hourly orders (SB) are allowed, the strategy will only use SB for both inflexible and flexible power. If SB and linked orders (LB) are allowed, the strategy will use SB for the inflexible power and LB for the flexible power. If SB and block orders (BB) are allowed, the strategy will use BB for the inflexible power and SB for the flexible power. If all three order types (SB, BB, LB) are allowed, the strategy will use BB for the inflexible power and LB for the flexible power, exept the inflexible power is 0, then it will use SB for the flexible power (as for VREs).

calculate_bids(unit: SupportsMinMax, market_config: MarketConfig, product_tuples: list[assume.common.market_objects.Product], **kwargs) list[assume.common.market_objects.Order]#

Calculates bids for a unit.

Parameters:
  • unit (SupportsMinMax) – The unit to calculate reward for.

  • marketconfig (MarketConfig) – The market configuration.

  • orderbook (Orderbook) – The Orderbook.

Note

The reward is calculated as the profit minus the opportunity cost, which is the loss of income we have because we are not running at full power. The regret is the opportunity cost. Because the regret_scale is set to 0 the reward equals the profit. The profit is the income we have from the accepted bids. The total costs are the running costs and the start-up costs.

Returns:

The bids consisting of the start time, end time, only hours, price and volume.

Return type:
