An optimization approach to control the energy flows in renewable energy communities

摘要

Energy communities are new concepts in the European legislation, where it is possible to produce, store and also sell (renewable) energy via the public grid. Participants of such communities can then sell a surplus of Photovoltaic energy to their neighbors and all players can then economically benefit from this energy exchange. This exchange must be coordinated within the energy community and can be seen as a typical optimization task in order to minimize the costs of all players respectively to maximize the benefit of every participant.
