A problem of optimally purchasing electricity at a real-valued spot price (that is, allowing negative prices) has been recently addressed in De Angelis et al. (SIAM J Control Optim 53(3), 1199–1223, 2015). The problem can be considered one of irreversible investment with a cost function which is non convex with respect to the control variable. In this paper we study optimal entry into the investment plan. The optimal entry policy can have an irregular boundary, with a kinked shape.

Abstract

A problem of optimally purchasing electricity at a real-valued spot price (that is, allowing negative prices) has been recently addressed in De Angelis et al. (SIAM J Control Optim 53(3), 1199–1223, 2015). The problem can be considered one of irreversible investment with a cost function which is non convex with respect to the control variable. In this paper we study optimal entry into the investment plan. The optimal entry policy can have an irregular boundary, with a kinked shape.
