Active Players in Local Energy Markets

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Trading in Local Energy Markets and Energy Communities

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Energy ((LNEN,volume 93))

Abstract

Power systems are undergoing a fundamental transition as energy resources are increasingly distributed through all layers of the electricity grid. Local energy markets offer opportunities for value co-creation through the coordination of these resources, with benefits at the individual, community and societal levels. This chapter presents an overview of the main active players in local energy markets, their objectives, and the ways in which they can participate. We then present a systematic taxonomy of coordination strategies for these players with heterogeneous objectives and constraints. The coordination mechanisms can be classified in terms of the level of agency of participating players, the information communication structure, and whether the local energy market represents a competitive or cooperative game. A numerical case study is then conducted to illustrate the value obtained by active players through competition and cooperation. Finally, we discuss avenues forward to help integrate and coordinate the active players in local energy markets.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Interquartile range with no or limited overshoot (high confidence).

  2. 2.

    Note that the level at which a controlled unit is defined may be a household, a building, a neighbourhood, etc. Each coordination level can be nested; i.e., an aggregator may perform direct control of units downstream and trade in the wholesale market in a mediated competition upstream.

  3. 3.

    Utility was defined by Jeremy Bentham as “that property in any object, whereby it tends to produce benefit, advantage, pleasure, good, or happiness (all this in the present case comes to the same thing) or (what comes again to the same thing) to prevent the happening of mischief, pain, evil, or unhappiness to the party whose interest is considered” (Bentham 1879). A utility function, in turn, is an economist’s convenient representation of an individual’s preferences that permits mathematical analysis (Hashimzade et al. 2017).
