the adjustment of the system operation mode and a large number of uncertainties add risks for the operating income of generation companies(GenCos). In order to help GenCos accurately evaluate their own risks and formulate appropriate bidding strategies and generating unit plans
a vine-Copula theory based value at risk(VaR)evaluation model is presented for the profit and loss of GenCos. Firstly
based on the AC power flow
the optimal power flow model for day-ahead dynamic economic dispatch of power grid is established to calculate the locational marginal price. Then
the pair-Copula theory is introduced to construct the high dimensional vine-Copula dependent structure of the profit and loss functions of GenCos. Finally
the VaRs of operating combined risk of GenCos under different confidence levels are calculated based on the definition of VaR. The example of IEEE 39-bus system is taken to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and method.
