Energy Market Surveillance in the EU and US: A Study of Market Designs, Regulations, and Detection  Algorithms

The need for market surveillance in the context of wholesale energy trading is examined through a study of twenty years of energy market liberalisation, resulting modern market designs in EU and US power and gas markets, and through an exploration of high-profile case studies of energy market abuse....
