Energy communities will play a central role in the sustainable energy transition by helping inform and engage end users to become more responsible consumers of energy. However, the true potential of energy communities can only be unlocked at scale. This scalability requires data-driven solutions that model not just the behaviour of building occupants but also of energy flexible resources in buildings, distributed generation and grid conditions in general. This understanding can then be utilized to improve the design and operation of energy communities in a variety of real-world settings. However, in practice, collecting and analysing the data necessary to realize these objectives forms a large part of such projects, and is often seen as a prohibitive stumbling block. Furthermore, without a proper understanding of the local context, these projects are often at risk of failure due to misplaced expectations. However, this process can be considerably accelerated by utilizing open source datasets and models from related projects, which have been carried out in the past. Likewise, a number of open source, general-purpose tools exist that can help practitioners design and operate LECs in a near-optimal manner. These resources are important because they not only help ground expectations, they also provide LECs and other relevant stakeholders, including utilities and distribution system operators, with much-needed visibility on future energy and cash flows. This review provides a detailed overview of these open-source datasets, models and tools, and the many ways they can be utilized in optimally designing and operating real-world energy communities. It also highlights some of the most important limitations in currently available open source resources, and points to future research directions. Highlights:1. The importance of open-source datasets and tools for local energy communities 2. Common use cases for open-source datasets, models and tools for energy communities 3. A thorough review of electricity demand and meteorological datasets and models 4. Most important shortcomings with currently available datasets, models and tools

“…Market design for DER energy management is an active area of research in the literature. Recently, many researchers have proposed new market solutions to provide different services such as energy trading and flexibility services exchange [9]. The main objective of market design for energy service is to schedule load and generation resources before the delivery time to minimize energy costs.…”

Transactive Energy Market for Energy Management in Microgrids: The Monash Microgrid Case Study

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Transactive energy is a novel approach for energy management and trading, which can be used in microgrids to facilitate the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in existing networks. The key feature in transactive energy is using market-based solutions for energy management. Hence, an appropriate transactive energy market (TEM) framework should be designed to enable and incentivize DER owners to participate in different markets. The efficient implementation of TEM for microgrid energy management encompasses the application of a variety of design principles. In this rapidly developing area, this paper presents a complete proposal of the TEM as a framework for the design, implementation, and deployment of transactive energy solutions for energy management in microgrids. In particular, we outline the requirements to design an effective market mechanism for the TEM. The applicability of this perspective is demonstrated through the introduction of the Monash Microgrid as a real-world implementation of a TEM solution, where a complete hardware and software foundation is presented as a platform to deploy a market-based solution for microgrid energy management. This is further illustrated through an example scenario, where the application of TEM is discussed to demonstrate the impact of considered design choices on achieving desired objectives.

“…In summary, in [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] the authors evidence the relevant effect of the EV charging process on a smart grid, while in [12][13][14][15][16] extension of the OCPP are proposed, but they do not consider advance reservation possibility. In [17] the problem of the possible excess of energy demand from the charging stations is considered, [18][19][20] addresses consumers' flexibility impact on grid stress without specific application on EV recharge, and finally [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] focus more on the optimization strategies of the service provider rather than on user flexibility.…”

An accurate management of the interactions among end user, electric vehicle, and charging station during recharge is fundamental for the diffusion of electric mobility. The paper proposes an extension of the Open Charge Point Protocol standard with the aim of including the user in the charging optimization process. The user negotiates with the central station a recharge reservation giving his/her preference and flexibility. The charging station management system provides different solutions based on user’s flexibility. This negotiation allows the optimization of the power grid management considering the user requests and constraints. The complete architecture has been designed, implemented on a web server and on a smartphone app, and tested. Results are reported in this work.
