Feasibility Conditions for Demonstrative Peer-to-Peer Energy Market

Distributed energy resources (DERs) play an indispensable role in mitigating global warming. The DERs require flexibility owing to the uncertainty of their power output when connected grid. Recently, blockchain technology has actualized peer-to-peer (P2P) markets, promoting efficient and resilient This study aimed extract insights about contribution P2P markets ensuring through analyzing transaction data. data source was a demonstration project regarding conducted from 2019 2020 Urawa-Misono District, Japan. participants were photovoltaic generators (PVGs), convenience stores (CSs), residences equipped with battery storage as only market. We quantitatively analyzed prices volumes ordered or transacted by each participant. execution purchased lower than those CSs; differences between order narrower PVGs state-of-charge (SoC) induced higher purchasing prices. Thus, where holding resulted advantageous position, can promote installing market mechanisms.
