Abstract
With a rising number of buildings being equipped with private distributed energy resources (DERs) such as rooftop PV panels and energy storage devices, an effective energy management method for a building cluster becomes increasingly imperative. This paper proposes a novel decentralized transactive energy management (TEM) method for a hybrid cluster of residential and commercial buildings, which enables peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading among the DER owners and consumers. The strategic interactions among the DER owners and consumers are modeled as a multi‑leader-multi-follower (MLMF) Stackelberg game and formulated as a bi-level model. The DER owners, the commercial and residential consumers are all autonomous entities, optimizing their individual welfare functions and sharing necessary trading-related information, which are expressed as the upper-level leaders' models and the lower-level followers' models, respectively. To preserve the privacy and autonomy of each entity within the building cluster, a distributed algorithm incorporated with an efficient P2P pricing mechanism is designed for the formulated MLMF Stackelberg game model. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method on mitigating the reliance of the building cluster on the power grid, motivating the DERs to actively participate in P2P trading, and reducing the consumers' energy consumption costs
期刊介绍:
Applied Energy serves as a platform for sharing innovations, research, development, and demonstrations in energy conversion, conservation, and sustainable energy systems. The journal covers topics such as optimal energy resource use, environmental pollutant mitigation, and energy process analysis. It welcomes original papers, review articles, technical notes, and letters to the editor. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that bridge the gap between research, development, and implementation. The journal addresses a wide spectrum of topics, including fossil and renewable energy technologies, energy economics, and environmental impacts. Applied Energy also explores modeling and forecasting, conservation strategies, and the social and economic implications of energy policies, including climate change mitigation. It is complemented by the open-access journal Advances in Applied Energy.
