Dr. Mostafa Vahedipour received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Birjand in 2017. His doctoral research focused on demand management in smart microgrids with an emphasis on ensuring system security. During this period, he was awarded a prestigious scholarship from the Iranian Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, which enabled him to conduct research as a visiting researcher at Aalborg University, Denmark, from 2016 to 2017.

After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Vahedipour continued his academic career as an Assistant Professor at the University of Birjand, where he played an active role not only in research but also in educating and training future generations of engineers. In 2020, he was awarded an international research fellowship at the University of Salerno, Italy, where he focused his research on energy management in smart grids. This collaboration expanded his research expertise and led to stronger interactions with the University of Vaasa, Finland where he was a post doc researcher.

Currently, Dr. Vahedipour is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Birjand, Ferdows Faculty of Engineering. ALso, now, he is working as a team leader at Nowocert, research and Innovation Division, Dublin, Ireland. 

In parallel, he serves as a member of the Board of Directors of Saha Niroo Savis Company, a technology-based company operating in the field of energy management in Iran. His dual roles in academia and industry have enabled him to bridge the gap between research and practical solutions in energy management.

Abstract

Due to the high penetration of wind power generation in power systems and electricity markets, Wind Power Plants (WPPs) can, 1in some scenarios, influence the market prices and exercise market power in the day-ahead (DA) market. In order to evaluate the capability of WPPs to directly act as price-maker, this paper proposes the strategic offering of a WPP in the DA market by using a bi-level stochastic optimization approach. The primary objective of the proposed model is to maximize the WPP's expected profit by strategically offering in DA market while minimizing the energy deviations in the regulating market. Moreover, the WPP can also sign bilateral contracts with customers to supply their required energy. In the sub-problem, the system operator (SO) tends to minimize the sum of the total generation costs minus the sum of the total demand benefits. The effect of bilateral contracts on the strategic offering of WPP in the DA market and its impact on the transmission margin are also investigated. Results on real cases show that when the WPP enters into a bilateral contract, it should consider the effect of such contracts on the offering strategy to the DA market. The effects of bilateral contracts on the regulating market are also examined.
