Pricing Energy Derivatives by Linear Programming: Tolling Agreement Contracts
2011
We introduce a new approach for pricing energy derivatives known as tolling agreement contracts. The pricing problem is reduced to a linear program. We prove that the optimal operating strategy for a power plant can be expressed through optimal exercise boundaries (similar to the exercise boundaries for American options). We find the boundaries as a byproduct of the pricing algorithm. The suggested approach can incorporate various real world power plant operational constraints. We demonstrate computational efficiency of the algorithm by pricing 1and 10-year tolling agreement contracts.
