Abstract
We present a contract for integrating renewable energy supply and electricity spot markets for serving deferrable electric loads in order to mitigate renewable energy intermittency. The contract which we describe results in a stochastic optimal control problem for minimizing the cost of serving flexible load. We solve the optimal control problem by using a recombinant lattice for modeling renewable power supply and electricity spot price uncertainty. We comparevarious control policies, and we analyze the sensitivity of our results with respect to various problem parameters.
