Abstract

There is a spirited debate on which auction mechanism is better, PAB or MCP in electricity generating-side market. This paper applies evolutionary theory game to study this problem under assumption of full competition. Our simulation results show that MCP is much better than PAB whenever the bidders with complete market information or not, represented by different kinds of payoff matrixes, with regards to social welfare and market stability.
