Existing research on robust optimization typically relies on the well-known parameter called the uncertainty budget to define the level of conservatism. However, this parameter is not defined based on economic factors but rather on the nature of each uncertainty. This work introduces a regret-based flexible robust optimization problem to address this gap, accounting for various sources of uncertainty in energy and reserve prices, as well as the production of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources and demand consumption. The concept of average regret is developed and implemented through a set of mixed-integer linear constraints to help the RVPP operator gain relevant economic insights regarding this parameter. Simulation results demonstrate the applicability of the regret-based robust optimization formulation in determining an interpretable level of conservatism against different uncertainties. en-GB Revista: International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems, Periodo: 1, Volumen: online, Número: , Página inicial: 110594-1, Página final: 110594-17 Instituto de Investigación Tecnológica (IIT) Flexible robust optimization for Renewable-only VPP bidding on electricity markets with economic risk analysis info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Renewable-only Virtual Power Plant; Regret; Flexible robust optimization; Electricity market
