Auction-Based vs Continuous Clearing in Local Flexibility Markets with Block Bids
Flexibility markets can be introduced as a tool for the distribution system operator (DSO) to avoid high costs and public opposition against new network investments. Continuous flexibility markets have the advantage of allowing more liquidity, which can be critical in the earlier stages of such markets, and can be operated closer to real-time, thereby enabling a better use of the latest forecasts; but, by design, they also result to a lower social welfare compared to auction-based markets. This paper has two main contributions. First, it introduces a continuous local flexibility market which includes both network constraints and asymmetric block bids. Second, it proposes an algorithm that can accurately determine the upper and lower bound of the social welfare loss compared with an auction-based clearing model.

Learning to Clear the Market
The problem of market clearing is to set a price for an item such that quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. In this work, we cast the problem of predicting clearing prices into a learning framework and use the res…

ManagementFrom Walras' auctioneer to continuous time double auctions: A general dynamic theory of supply and demand
In standard Walrasian auctions, the price of a good is defined as the point where the supply and demand curves intersect. Since both curves are generically regular, the response to small perturbations is linearly small. …
