Market equilibrium of microgrids

Do microgrids facilitate energy and capacity trading between peers?

This study considered different aspects of the microgrids, including the P2P bilateral energy trading market, balancing market, and the ancillary service market, to facilitate the energy and capacity trading between the peers.

Why do we need a microgrid community?

The integration of renewable energy resources in the power system has motivated the modern electricity markets that stem from a distributed market architecture where the microgrid community represents multiple microgrid agents upstream.

How does a microgrid market work?

The market operation proceeds in three stages: negotiation, clearing, and settlement. At the beginning of the negotiation stage, the microgrid units register with the market operator, indicating that they wish to participate in the market [ 89 ]. The market operator then updates the forecasts and broadcasts initial prices.

Do microgrids have a market layer?

In this paper, a comprehensive literature review of the main layers of microgrids is introduced, highlighting the role of the market layer. Critical aspects of the energy market are systematically presented and discussed, including market design, market mechanism, market player, and pricing mechanism.

How much profit does a microgrid generate?

The results demonstrated that the microgrid performance using the best participation of all three players (hybrid energy storage system, PV, and wind generator) generates a 21% and 16% profit.

Is there a double-auction method for energy trading in microgrids?

Proposed an iterative double-auction method for energy trading in microgrids to reduce the computational load, and maintain accuracy and efficiency whilst considering the preferences of the participants and constraints of the energy market.
