Autonomous Micro-Market Operation on the Low Voltage Network

Abstract

In this paper a novel autonomous micro-market operation method is shown on the Low Voltage network. The centralized national and global level can't provide adaptive, dynamic and flexible local control on the lowest level household generation-consumption in narrow circle. Although many storage devices are offered energy remains expensive and unsustainable. In this operation the small energy producers are allowed prosumer-prosumer direct trade of the surplus energy beside the traditional utility supply. The system requires a local household energy control box with internet link. The box transmits autonomous bids for the pool for the next period and makes short term bilateral contract with a prosumer that can reschedule its load by the offers. Through this operation huge amount of reschedulable consumption capacities can be involved in the demand side management.
