The increment of electrical and electronic appliances for improving the lifestyle of residential consumers has led to a larger demand of energy. In order to supply theirenergy requirements, the consumers have changed the paradigm by integrating renewable energy sources to their power grid. Therefore, consumers become prosumers in which they internally generate and consume energy looking for an autonomous operation. This paper proposes an energy management system for coordinating the operation ofdistributed household prosumers. It was found that better performance is achieved when cooperative operation with other prosumers in a neighborhood environment is achieved.Simulation and experimental results validate the proposed strategy by comparing the performance of islanded prosumers with the operation in cooperative mode.
