Large-Scale Integration of Prosumers into Electricity Markets and Systems Operation
The transition to renewable energies requires a major rethinking of society’s electricity networks and markets. A key development is the emergence of technology-enabled small-scale prosumers (who both produce and consume electricity), as is already happening in Germany and the UK, among others. The integration of prosumers into the electric energy system in (very) large numbers gives rise to important technical and economic challenges.
This project will develop novel mathematical models for prosumers to optimize their energy generation and consumption, for the grid operator to optimize the integration of prosumers, and for aggregators to optimize their flexibility offer in the energy markets.
