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

This paper presents an optimal bidding strategy for a strategic wind power producer (WPP) in a distribution-level energy market (DLEM). The behavior of the WPP is modelled through a bi-level stochastic optimization problem where the upper-level problem maximizes the profit of the WPP and the lower-level problem describes the clearing processes of the DLEM while considering network constraints. The bi-level problem is a stochastic mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) that is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problem. The main focus of this study is investigating prosumers’ impact on the market power of the strategic WPP in a DLEM structure. In this model, the effect of flexible prosumers from the aspects of demand response (DR) participants and photovoltaic penetration level (PVPL) on the WPP’s offering strategy is investigated. Moreover, the impact of bilateral contract on the market power of the strategic WPP and the cleared prices of the network is addressed. The proposed model is implemented in an IEEE 33-bus and numerical results illustrate how behavior of flexible prosumers and PVPL index affect the decision making of the strategic WPP when network constraints are considered. Numerical results show that by active participation of prosumers in DR programs, the reliance of DLEM on the strategic WPP reduces. Moreover, if the WPP participates in bilateral contracts, its offering to the DELM decreases, and as the result, the cleared prices augment indicating market power of the WPP
