Fair Remuneration of Energy Consumption Flexibility Using Shapley Value

摘要

This paper proposes a new methodology for fair remuneration of consumers participation in demand response events. With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources with a high variability; the flexibility from the consumers' side becomes a crucial asset in power and energy systems. However, determining how to effectively remunerate consumers flexibility in a fair way is a challenging task. Current models tend to apply over-simplistic and non-realistic approaches which do not incentivize the participation of the required players. This paper proposes a novel methodology to remunerate consumers flexibility, in a fair way. The proposed model considers different aggregators, which manage the demand response requests within their coalition. After player provide their flexibility, the remuneration is calculated based on the flexibility amount provided by the players, the previous participation in demand response programs, the localization of the players, the type of consumer, the effort put in the provided flexibility amount, and the contribution to the stability of the coalition structure using the Shapley value. Results show that by assigning different weights to the distinct factors that compose the calculation formulation, players remuneration can be adapted to the needs and goals of both the players and the aggregators.
