Producers have started trad-\r\ning energy, and particularly after the 2007/2008 financial crisis, they are now\r\nsubject to regulations similar to those in the banking industry. Consequently,\r\nthe modeling of physical assets, like hydro power plants or gas-fired plants, is\r\naddressed using real option approaches from financial mathematics.\r\nEnergy and commodity markets exhibit unique characteristics and are based\r\non different fundamentals than pure financial markets. Energy and commodity\r\nprices often depend on physical constraints and are seen as volatile and erratic.\r\nThese aspects require robust and complex mathematical modeling by risk man-\r\nagement units and trading desks.\r\nThis course provides students with a solid foundation in stochastic methods\r\nfor energy markets, equipping them with both theoretical and computational\r\nskills suited for careers as quantitative analysts, risk managers, or traders in\r\ncommodity trading houses, energy companies, banks, insurance firms, and con-\r\nsulting companies."},"tweetText":null,"content":{"en":"5.1\r\n1.
