Abstract

Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is an emerging energy supply paradigm where customers with distributed energy resources (DERs) are allowed to directly trade and share electricity with each other. P2P energy trading can facilitate local power and energy balance, thus being a potential way to manage the rapidly increasing number of DERs in net zero transition. It is of great importance to explore P2P energy trading via public power networks, to which most DERs are connected. Despite the extensive research on P2P energy trading, there has been little large-scale commercial deployment in practice across the world. In this paper, the practical challenges of conducting P2P energy trading via public power networks are identified and presented, based on the analysis of a practical Local Virtual Private Networks (LVPNs) case in North Wales, UK. The ongoing efforts and emerging solutions to tackling the challenges are then summarized and critically reviewed. Finally, the way forward for facilitating P2P energy trading via public power networks is proposed.

通过公共电网的P2P能源交易:实际的挑战、新兴的解决方案和前进的道路

点对点(P2P)能源交易是一种新兴的能源供应模式，拥有分布式能源资源(der)的客户可以直接相互交易和共享电力。P2P能源交易可以促进当地的电力和能源平衡，从而成为管理净零转型中快速增长的der数量的潜在方法。通过公共电网来探索P2P能源交易具有重要意义，因为公共电网是绝大多数分布式交换机的连接网络。尽管对P2P能源交易进行了广泛的研究，但在世界范围内，大规模的商业应用很少。本文通过对英国北威尔士本地虚拟专用网(lvpn)案例的分析，确定并提出了通过公共电网进行P2P能源交易的实际挑战。然后总结和严格审查正在进行的努力和应对挑战的新解决方案。最后，提出了通过公共电网促进P2P能源交易的发展方向。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Energy, an interdisciplinary and peer-reviewed international journal launched in January 2007, seeks to provide a rapid and unique platform for reporting the most advanced research on energy technology and strategic thinking in order to promote timely communication between researchers, scientists, engineers, and policy makers in the field of energy. Frontiers in Energy aims to be a leading peer-reviewed platform and an authoritative source of information for analyses, reviews and evaluations in energy engineering and research, with a strong focus on energy analysis, energy modelling and prediction, integrated energy systems, energy conversion and conservation, energy planning and energy on economic and policy issues. Frontiers in Energy publishes state-of-the-art review articles, original research papers and short communications by individual researchers or research groups. It is strictly peer-reviewed and accepts only original submissions in English. The scope of the journal is broad and covers all latest focus in current energy research. High-quality papers are solicited in, but are not limited to the following areas: -Fundamental energy science -Energy technology, including energy generation, conversion, storage, renewables, transport, urban design and building efficiency -Energy and the environment, including pollution control, energy efficiency and climate change -Energy economics, strategy and policy -Emerging energy issue
