Typically, power markets organize trade in
Hourly spot electricity, next-day physical deliveryForward and futures contracts on spotEuropean options on forwards

The spot marketAn hourly market with physical delivery of electricityParticipants hand in bids the day ahead
Volume and price bids for each of the 24 hours next dayMaximum amount of bids within technical volume and price limits
The exchange creates demand and production curves for eachhour of the next day

The normal inverse Gaussian (NIG)distribution
Aim: define H-valued NIG Lévy process. First, NIG on R....A normal mean-variance mixture model:
Let Z be inverse Gaussian distributed
fIG(z) =δ√2π
z−3/2 exp(δγ − 1
2(δ2z−1 + γ2z
)), z >0
Conditional distribution of X is normal:
X |Z ∼ N (μ+ βZ ,Z )
X is NIG with parameters α, β, μ and δ, where
α =√γ2 + β2
