Advantages of Minimizing Energy Exchange Instead of Energy Cost in Prosumer Microgrids

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Microgrids of prosumers are a trendy approach within the smart grid concept, as a way to increase distributed renewable energy penetration within power systems in an efficient and sustainable way. Single prosumer individual management has been previously

Demand aggregation for photovoltaic self-consumption

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2019
The mismatch between photovoltaic generation and residential load leads to relative modest rates of self-consumption of solar electricity unless expensive storage solutions are locally available. One alternative to batteries is the aggregation of demand of different prosumers, as the collective load diagram might be better adapted to the solar resource.
