Analysis of bidding behavior characteristics in inter-provincial electricity spot markets using big data and K-means clustering
The spatial mismatch between China’s energy resources and demand
alongside rapid clean energy growth
has caused significant wind
solar
and hydropower curtailment
necessitating power market reforms for resource optimization. The inter-provincial power spot market enables renewable energy integration and power balancing via a“unified market
two-level operation”system. Yet
static price caps struggle to balance supply-demand dynamics and supply-price stability goals
with limited analysis of bidding behaviors of power plants and electricity purchasers. Using 2022 trial data
a big data-driven approach examines bidding characteristics and clearing outcomes of thermal
hydro
wind
solar power
and counterpart provinces’purchasers
uncovering temporal and seasonal patterns. The KMeans algorithm classifies bidding behaviors of various units
identifying differences in duration
bid volume
and price to analyze influencing factors. Findings support market mechanism optimization
enhancing renewable energy integration and dual-carbon goals.
