　　报告摘要如下：

　　In the restructured electricity industry, electricity is traded in forward markets with varying time horizons. A major challenge for large industrial power consumers and load-serving entities is to procure electricity in these markets to minimize the total cost while meeting all the consumption demands. Two sources of risk arising from the electricity market price and the consumption quantity at the time of use not only make the procurement decision difficult but also can cause significant penalty cost if the realized power consumption deviates from the procured quantities by certain margins. Furthermore, the distributions of the market prices and the real-time power demand may not be known. We propose a data-driven approach to tackle this problem through a reinforcement learning framework.
