The Impact of Prosumers in a Smart Grid based Energy Market Final report

چکیده
Implementing smart metering is an important field for energy policy to successfully meet energy efficiency targets. From an integrated social acceptance and customer perceved vaue theory perspective we model the importance of customer value of smart metering in this regard. We further shape the model on a choice-‐based conjoint experiment with Swiss private electricity customers. The study finds that overall customers perceive a positive value from smart metering and are willing to pay for it. Further, based on a cluster analysis of customers’ value perceptions, we identify four customer segments, each with a distinct value perception profile for smart meter-‐ ing. We find that energy policy and management should integrate a solid understanding of cus-‐ tomer value for smart metering in their initiatives and consider different smart metering market segments within their measures.

NRG-X-Change - A Novel Mechanism for Trading of Renewable Energy in Smart Grids
In this position paper we propose a novel trading paradigm for buying and selling locally produced energy in the smart grid. Unlike recently proposed techniques that rely on predictions and a day-ahead market, here prosumers are billed by the distribute system operator according to their actual usage and rewarded based on their actual energy input, similar to the current state of affairs. Our m...
متن کاملDesigning a Marketplace for the Trading and Distribution of Energy in the Smart Grid
Decentralized energy production is meant to reduce generation and distribution inefficiencies, leading to major economic and environmental benefits. This new model is meant to be supported by smart grids, electricity networks that can intelligently integrate the actions of all users connected to them —generators, consumers, and prosumers (those that do both)— to efficiently deliver sustainable,...

متن کاملAn agent-based market platform for Smart Grids
The trend towards renewable, decentralized, and highly fluctuating energy suppliers (e.g. photovoltaic, wind power, CHP) introduces a tremendous burden on the stability of future power grids. By adding sophisticated ICT and intelligent devices, various Smart Grid initiatives work on concepts for intelligent power meters, peak load reductions, efficient balancing mechanisms, etc. As in the Smart...
متن کاملConvergent Double Auction Mechanism for a Prosumers' Decentralized Smart Grid
In this paper, we propose a novel automated double auction mechanism called convergent linear function submission-based double-auction (CLFS-DA) for a prosumers’ decentralized smart grid. The target decentralized smart grid is a regional electricity network that consists of many prosumers that have a battery and a renewable energy-based generator, such as photovoltaic cells. In the proposed dou...
