We designed this two day course specifically to instruct participants in the areas of outright, embedded and real options, physical assets, hedging future cash flows of assets, optimization of allocation of assets, flexibility, pricing of options, valuation of real options and Greek variables as indicators for sensitivities.
The course is about real options and while statistics are important in this area of expertise and there is a bit of mathematics in the course material, in this course things are explained so that everybody will be able to understand, regardless of their mathematical abilities. This does not affect the level of the course in any negative way, but allows us to explain all subjects in an even more in-depth manner than you can imagine.

This course in climate change and emissions markets is aimed at a wide range of analysts and managers in the energy sector. You will be introduced to climate change issues, including the underlying science and recent policy developments. Key global and European mitigation and adaptation initiatives will be presented, with particular focus on project-based and market-based mechanisms as set out under the Kyoto Protocol. A discussion on the mobilisation of carbon finance will close out the first part of the course. The focus of the course will then concentrate on the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). Phase I and II will be examined, with a detailed discussion of the market reforms set out for Phase III (2013-2020); including the revised market infrastructure, extended scope and the introduction of primary market auctioning. The course concludes with an investigation of interactions within the emissions market - between EUA and CER contracts - and interactions between the emissions and energy markets.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Power Generation Valuation & Hedging
Welcome to this popular and highly interactive course on valuation
and hedging techniques for power generation assets.
A summary of the course
Who should attend?
With real life examples and cases studies the course will
demonstrate what techniques can be used to properly
value and manage power plants, thereby incorporating
relevant technical and commercial plant constraints.
Furthermore, the course shows how to construct realistic
price scenarios, a key element in valuation and hedging.
Case study and trading game
This two day course provides an in-depth analysis of
methodologies to value and manage power generation
assets and power contracts. The course mainly covers
thermal plants, but also contains separate discussion of
virtual power plant contracts, tolling deals, and wind and
hydro generation assets.
The course aims to attract a wide range of people active
in the energy and financial sector, including energy
traders, asset developers, portfolio and risk managers,
energy market analysts, regulators and consultants. The
course does not require any specific pre-knowledge. The
instructors are used to present technical details in an
intuitive manner, both appealing to quantitative and nonquantitative people.
The course is highly practical: throughout the course you
will work on case studies with specialized analysis models
for plant valuation and hedging analysis. The models will be
provided to you for the duration of the course plus a month
thereafter.
Apart from case studies, the course also features an
energy trading game. The goal is to optimize a portfolio of
power plants, while hedging in the market and responding
to news.

AGENDA
AGENDA
AGENDA
Programme Day 1
You manage two power stations
You have to dispatch the assets in the spot market based on spot
margins
You have to minimize the exposure, measured by VaR, by delta
hedging in the forward market. The
more risk you take, the more capital you need to hold, which is
costly
You get news messages, based on which a bit of speculation can
help to make extra profits
Each participant is in the same position, so results can be
directly compared

Reviews:
“I attended this course in 2011 and
this was useful. I have learned/
improved some concepts like
Spark Spread, VPP, hedging and I
implemented it in my work. Moreover,
I practiced in a small hedging game.
But for me, the most important thing
was that I met people from different
companies and countries with whom
I could discuss about our business.”
Davy Swennen, Business Expert &
Controlling Analyst at EDF Luminus
“The course Power Generation
Valuation and Hedging gives a very
good overview for beginners about
how generation assets are used in
the different power markets. It also
provides an excellent insight on
mathematical models for generation
optimization and hedging strategies
on an advanced level.”
Jan Smolka, Portfolio Manager
(Generation Assets & Energy
Trading) at Trianel Gmbh
