An Efficient Peer-to-Peer Energy-Sharing Framework for Numerous Community Prosumers

摘要

This article presents an efficient peer-to-peer energy-sharing framework for numerous community prosumers to reduce energy costs and to promote renewable energy utilization. Specifically, for day-ahead and real-time energy management of prosumers, an intercommunity energy-sharing strategy and an intracommunity energy-sharing strategy are proposed, respectively. In the former strategy, prosumers can share energy with any community peers, and community aggregators represent their own prosumers to coordinate energy sharing. A two-phase model is designed. In the first phase, the optimal energy-sharing profiles of prosumers are derived to minimize the global energy costs, and in the second phase, equilibrium-based energy-sharing prices are induced considering the individual interests of prosumers. In the latter strategy, prosumers share energy only with its community peers for time saving to handle real-time uncertainties collaboratively to reduce real-time costs. The framework efficiency is verified by the simulation cases on a typical distribution network.
