Resumo

This paper provides a state-of-the-art summary of risk assessment in energy trading. Techniques from financial engineering are needed by electric energy companies to manage price risk. These tools are needed by suppliers, distributors, and traders in a competitive electric power marketplace. Tools that have been adapted to the specific environment of the electric power system include portfolio analysis and hedging instruments. This paper provides a comprehensive critical literature survey of what has been applied to date in the power markets and which areas continue to need additional research. One example market scenario is used throughout the paper to demonstrate the usefulness of the risk assessment methods.
