Appropriate trading mechanisms are of great importance for incentivizing the investment in and coordinated operation of DG. The UK and China both have ambitious decarbonization agendas with particular emphasis on the electricity market design. Nevertheless, the UK and China have distinguishing features in electricity market design, particularly in the trading mechanisms for DG. This paper presents a thorough review of DG trading policies and arrangements in both countries, including market structures, connection classifications, economic benefits and practical issues. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunity, and threats-political, economical, social and technological (SWOT-PEST) model features of the mechanisms in both countries were qualitatively identified and compared. A quantitative comparison was conducted between the trading arrangements in the UK and China, with the economic benefits analysed and the implications revealed. Finally, the directions for developing and improving DG trading mechanisms were suggested based on the comparative analysis. The practical experiences of the UK and China can be extended to other countries across the globe.","PeriodicalId":100467,"journal":{"name":"Energy Conversion and Economics","volume":"3 3","pages":"122-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/enc2.12056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79238831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Determining NILM models requires massive load data containing different types of appliances. However, inadequate load data and the risk of power consumer privacy breaches may be encountered by local data owners when determining the NILM model. To address these problems, a novel NILM method based on federated learning (FL) called Fed-NILM is proposed. In Fed-NILM, instead of local load data, local model parameters are shared among multiple data owners. The global NILM model is obtained by averaging the parameters with the appropriate weights. Experiments based on two measured load datasets are performed to explore the generalization capability of Fed-NILM. In addition, a comparison of Fed-NILM with locally trained NILM models and the centrally trained NILM model is conducted. Experimental results show that the Fed-NILM exhibits superior performance in terms of scalability and convergence. Fed-NILM out performs locally trained NILM models operated by local data owners and approaches the centrally trained NILM model, which is trained on the entire load dataset without privacy protection.

Herein, a market-based control mechanism in real-time markets is proposed to economically coordinate the TE among prosumers while ensuring secure system operation. Considering the dynamic characteristics of batteries and responsive demands, a model predictive control (MPC) method is used to handle the constraints between different time intervals and incorporate the following generation and consumption predictions. Owing to the computational burden and individual privacy issues, an efficient distributed algorithm is developed to solve the optimal power flow problem.

In the first stage, the vulnerable buses, also known as ‘weak buses’, where voltage failure might occur are identified, and the Var compensating devices are mounted at those locations. The proposed approach utilizes three simple vulnerable bus detection methods: the fast voltage stability index, line stability index, and voltage collapse proximity index (VCPI). In the second stage, various optimization algorithms are implemented to determine the optimal setting of Var sources, such as particle swarm optimization, differential evolution, the whale optimization algorithm, the grasshopper optimization algorithm, the salp swarm algorithm, grey wolf optimization, and oppositional grey wolf optimization (OGWO).
