A growing number of households benefit from the government subsidies to install renewable generation facilities such as PV panels, used to gain independence from the grid and provide cheap energy. In the Romanian electricity market, these prosumers can sell their generation surplus only at regulated prices, back to the grid. A way to increase the number of prosumers is to allow them to make higher profit by selling this surplus back into the local network. This would also be an advantage for the consumers, who could pay less for electricity exempt from network tariffs and benefitting from lower prices resulting from the competition between prosumers. One way of enabling this type of trade is to use peer-to-peer contracts traded in local markets, run at microgrid (μG) level. This paper presents a new trading platform based on smart peer-to-peer (P2P) contracts for prosumers energy surplus trading in a real local microgrid. Several trading scenarios are proposed, which give the possibility to perform trading based on participants’ locations, instantaneous active power demand, maximum daily energy demand and the principle of first come first served implemented in an anonymous blockchain trading ledger. The developed scheme is tested on a low-voltage (LV) microgrid model to check its feasibility of deployment in a real network. A comparative analysis between the proposed scenarios, regarding traded quatities and financial benefits is performed.

The energy transition for decarbonization requires consumers’ and producers’ active participation to give the power system the necessary flexibility to manage intermittency and non-programmability of renewable energy sources. The accurate knowledge of the energy demand of every single customer is crucial for accurately assessing their potential as flexibility providers. This topic gained terrific input from the widespread deployment of smart meters and the continuous development of data analytics and artificial intelligence. The paper proposes a new technique based on advanced data analytics to analyze the data registered by smart meters to associate to each customer a typical load profile (LP). Different LPs are assigned to low voltage (LV) customers belonging to nominal homogeneous category for overcoming the inaccuracy due to non-existent coincident peaks, arising by the common use of a unique LP per category. The proposed methodology, starting from two large databases, constituted by tens of thousands of customers of different categories, clusters their consumption profiles to define new representative LPs, without a priori preferring a specific clustering technique but using that one that provides better results. The paper also proposes a method for associating the proper LP to new or not monitored customers, considering only few features easily available for the distribution systems operator (DSO).


The worldwide energy demand is increasing due to increase in population and economic growth. The grid is gradually replaced by Distributed generation systems (DGs). Recently low voltage DG interfacing converter on the non linear load compensation is performed by unified power flow converter. The proposed control technique is analyzed for Simultaneous control of voltage and power under unbalanced load condition using MATLAB/SIMULINK software

In this paper, we applied the Wavelet Transform Coherence (WTC) and phase analysis to analyze the relationship between the daily electricity demand (DED) and weather variables such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and radiation. The DED data presents both seasonal fluctuations and increasing trend while the weather variables depict only seasonal variation. The results obtained from the WTC and phase analysis permit us to detect the period of time when the DED significantly correlates with the weather variables. We found a strong seasonal interdependence between the air temperature and DED for a periodicity of 256-512 days and 128-256 days. The relationship between the humidity and DED also shows a significant interdependence for a periodicity of 256-512 days with average coherence equal to 0.8. Regarding the radiation and wind speed, the correlation is low with average coherence less than 0.5. These results provide an insight into the properties of the impacts of weather variables on electricity demand on the basis of which power planners can rely to improve their forecasting and planning of electricity demand.

Next to building insulation, heat pumps driven by electrical compressors (eHPs) or by gas engines (geHPs) can be used to reduce primary energy demand for heating. They come with different investment requirements, operating costs and emissions caused. In addition, they affect both the power and gas grids, which necessitates the assessment of both infrastructures regarding grid expansion planning. To calculate costs and CO2 emissions, 2000 electrical load profiles and 180 different heat demand profiles for single-family homes were simulated and heat pump models were applied. In a case study for a neighborhood energy model, the load profiles were assigned to buildings in an example town using public data on locations, building age and energetic refurbishment variants. In addition, the town’s gas distribution network and low voltage grid were modeled. Power and gas flows were simulated and costs for required grid extensions were calculated for 11% and 16% heat pump penetration. It was found that eHPs have the highest energy costs but will also have the lowest CO2 emissions by 2030 and 2050. For the investigated case, power grid investments of 11,800 euros/year are relatively low compared to gas grid connection costs of 70,400 euros/year. If eHPs and geHPs are combined, a slight reduction of overall costs is possible, but emissions would rise strongly compared to the all-electric case.

<p>This manuscript proposes a time-series temperature-dependent power flow method for unbalanced distribution networks consisting of underground cables. A thermal circuit model for unbalanced three-phase multi-core cables is developed to estimate the conductor temperature and resistance of Medium and Low Voltage distribution networks. More specifically, a novel approach is proposed to model and estimate the parameters of the three-phase thermal circuit of 3/4-core cables, using the results of Finite Element Method and Particle Swarm Optimization. The proposed approach is generic and can be accurately applied to any kind of 3- or 4-core cables buried in homogeneous or non-homogeneous soil. Furthermore, it is applicable in cases where one or more adjacent cables exist. Using the proposed approach, the conductor temperature of each phase can be individually and precisely calculated even in networks with highly unbalanced loads. The proposed approach is expected to be an important tool for simulating the steady state of unbalanced distribution networks and estimating the conductor temperatures. The proposed thermal circuit is validated using two 4-core LV and one 3-core MV cables buried in different depths in homogeneous or non-homogeneous soil. Time-series power flow for a whole year is performed in a 25-bus unbalanced LV network consisting of multicore underground cables.</p>

The work presents an analysis linked to one of the sustainable energy alternatives that are currently being adopted with success worldwide. Putting the field research method into practice, the results of a study related to an application of technological innovation are shown to reduce the amount of the electricity bill at the JENMER CIA LTDA Service Station, through the introduction of photovoltaic technology connected to the low voltage network of the institution. The results of the study of load and hourly energy consumption of said entity are shown and its methodology is deployed for the technological design of a photovoltaic plant connected to the grid, which can avoid the energy consumption of the conventional grid, reducing the amount of the electricity bill of the institution, at the same time that it is possible to reduce losses, improve the quality of electricity service and reduce COemissions2 into the atmosphere. The energy, economic, environmental, and social impacts associated with the penetration of photovoltaic technology are exposed.
