Tail risk adjusted clean energy portfolios in P2P transactive markets using Rachev ratio
Energy Conversion and Economics, 2023 Renewable energy sources (RES) and electric vehicles (EVs) pose ‘energy‐risk’ in peer energy commitments due to their temporal and spatial uncertainties. Thus, optimistic commitments in the peer‐to‐peer transactive energy market (P2P TEM) are improbable.
