Recommended Study Resources for Energy Market Risk Management
Summary
A student preparing for an exam asks which quantitative risk management topics to review and seeks an accessible online book. The accepted response recommends a book on integrated energy risk management, noting that it introduces core risk concepts in the context of power and other energy markets. Another response points to specialist risk publications and a site offering free books across finance and related subjects.
The document offers resource suggestions rather than a topic-by-topic study plan or a risk management method. It provides no comparison of the resources, detailed syllabus, or evidence about their coverage or quality, so readers should check whether a chosen text matches their exam requirements. The suggestions are brief and date-bound, and the response does not specify which quantitative techniques to prioritize.
Key ideas
- An energy-focused risk management book can connect general concepts to power and other energy markets.
- Specialist risk publications may offer articles and books for further study.
- The responses provide resources but no structured list of exam topics.
- Readers should confirm that a resource fits their course and current needs.

# Quantitative risk management for energy markets # Quantitative risk management for energy markets I'm currently preparing an exam about energy markets. The knowledge of notions of quantitative risk management accounts for the 50% of the total exam. During my university education, though, I didn't follow a specific risk management course. What are the most important topics that I should revise? Could you suggest me a good online book where I can easily revise the basics? ## Answer by sp59b2 (score 4, accepted) https://quant.stackexchange.com/a/54007 The book "Managing Energy Risk An Integrated View on Power and Other Energy Markets" by Burger et al. (2014) may be very helpful as it not only introduces the relevant notions, but does so directly from an energy perspective. ## Answer by Martin Vesely (score 0) https://quant.stackexchange.com/a/53126 I would recomment site risk.net. You can find a lot of artciles and books on risk management there. You can also try to find some book on risk management here: bookboon.com. The site offer many books from many fields, incuding finance, management and business for free (some ads are added to PDF, however).
