A Stochastic Decision Support System for generation and trading of electric energy in France.

For a major French power producer, the basic version of a Stochastic Decision Support System had been adapted in order to model the generation system's characteristics adequately and to incorporate relevant features of a benchmark system. By means of a multistage stochastic programming methodology, long-term planning results concerning power generation and contract trading -- in the presence of multiple uncertainties like e.g. natural inflows, spor price or unit outages -- were achieved.
