Abstract

The price of electrical energy in Spain has not been regulated by the government since 1998, but determined by the supply from the generators in a competitive market, the so-called "electrical pool". In this work, we present a genetic algorithm-based method that allow us to simulate Cournot-like equilibrium situations in the Spanish pool. A perfect oligipolistic behavior of the agents will be assumed. The output of the algorithm being proposed here contains an approximation to the optimal supply curves of the competing agents.
