Energy Community

In this paper, we investigate the economic benefits of an energy community investing in small-scale photovoltaics (PVs) when local energy trading is operated amongst the community members. The motivation stems from the open research question on whether a community-operated local energy market can enhance the investment feasibility of behind-the-meter small-scale PVs installed by energy community members. Firstly, a review of the models, mechanisms and concepts required for framing the relevant concepts is conducted, while a clarification of nuances at important terms is attempted. Next, a tool for the investigation of the economic benefits of operating a local energy market in the context of an energy community is developed. We design the local energy market using state-of-the-art formulations, modified according to the requirements of the case study. The model is applied to an energy community that is currently under formation in a Greek municipality. From the various simulations that were conducted, a series of generalizable conclusions are extracted.

Strategic Policies

Recent strategic policies and regulations dealing with market liberalization and decarbonization plans, such as the European directives contained in the recent EU Clean Energy for All Europeans Package, are seeking to promote new roles for citizens in the management of the self-produced renewable energy and the development of local energy markets. In this context, this paper aims at presenting the planning actions for the transition of the current passive distribution system of the Municipality of Berchidda (Italy) towards a smart local energy community. This planning study represents the first stage of a development action financed by the Sardinian Region, whose Regional Energetic and Environmental Plan identifies the Municipality of Berchidda as a priority area to focus the experimental actions for innovative smart grids and intelligent energy management. The project, named “Berchidda Energy 4.0”, focuses on increasing the energy efficiency of the community by boosting local renewable generation production and maximizing its self-consumption, also with the support of storage systems, as well as increasing the active involvement of the consumers that will be equipped with a smart home automation system for demand response applications.

In this work we study the computing capabilities as well as some dynamical properties of an automaton called M4R. This automaton corresponds to the mixing of the energy profiles of two independent copies of the Q2R automaton with frustrations. We associate to each copy of a Q2R an equivalent automaton M2R, which, with the Margoluos neighborhood, exhibits the local changes of the Q2R energy.1 By doing so we generalize the dynamics by upgrading M2R according to four partitions of the lattice. This new dynamics — called M4R — is based on a local rule which corresponds to the local energy change of two independent copies of Q2R. The M4R model is reversible and conservative (magnetization is constant in time) and it has properties of a discrete billiard (as some of the hydrodynamics discrete versions of Navier-Stokes models). Moreover, this automaton has powerful computing capabilities. In fact, by using some special configurations of M4R, we exhibit universal gates and register that allow us to code any algorithm.
