In this work, a day-ahead continuous double auction (CDA)-based P2P market structure considering network losses and network utilisation fees was designed. Day-ahead PV energy is modelled using fractional integral polynomials and the output is forecasted using an autoregressive integrated moving average model for each market interval. Based on the customer load and excess PV energy, the CDA market is cleared using a bid/ask matching mechanism. The performance of the P2P market was evaluated by computing different welfare metrics while analysing the effect of network constraints. The results show that the designed CDA-based P2P market structure increases the social welfare of all participants by an average of 17.75% compared to the baseline for the presented cases. Moreover, the impact of the forecasting error between the day-ahead and real-time market was also quantified.</p>","PeriodicalId":36490,"journal":{"name":"IET Smart Grid","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/stg2.12103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44461494","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}

While governments worldwide have taken significant initiatives towards decarbonisation and announced their carbon peaking and neutrality targets and plans, significant techno-economic challenges remain along the pathway to achieve this decarbonisation goal. Energy systems generally encompass multiple energy carriers, diverse temporal and spatial resolutions, and heterogenous energy entities. This necessitates a suitable design and control of the interfaces between electricity, natural gas, transportation, and heat networks, as well as the transportation, water and agricultural systems. Meanwhile, digital technologies such as big data, machine learning, blockchain, ICT, and IoT are receiving much attention as they can aid the decarbonisation process. Cyber-physical systems as an orchestration of these novel technologies further increases the efficiency of energy provision, thereby optimising economic feasibility and environmental impact.</p><p>This IET Smart Grid special issue on Transition Towards Deep Decarbonisation of Modern Energy Systems invites a broad spectrum of contributors from universities, industry, research laboratories, and policymakers to develop and present novel solutions and technologies that will facilitate and advance the agenda of deep decarbonisation of modern energy systems.

The uncertainties of EV availability (arrival and departure times) and its initial state of charge, when arrives home, are incorporated using stochastic functions. The effect of popular EV models in the market is investigated on the optimal sizing and electricity cost of the customers. Several sensitivity analyses are adopted based on variations in the grid constrains, retail price and feed in tariff. Uncertainty analysis is provided based on the variations of insolation, temperature, and load to approve the optimal results of the developed model. A practical guideline is presented for residential customers in a typical grid-connected household to select the optimal capacity of PV or PV-BES system considering the model of EV. While the proposed optimization model is general and can be used for various case studies, real annual data of solar insolation, temperature, household's load, electricity prices, as well as PV and BES market data are used for an Australian case study.

The reliability of data transmission can be improved by choosing proper locations for PDCs. In this paper, a novel approach for PDC placement is proposed based on two pre-defined indices; observability reliability and Loss Of Data Expectation (LODE). In the proposed method, the probability of regional communication networks' failure and the uncertainty of failure data for all components are also included in the calculation of these two indices to achieve more realistic results. To handle uncertainty, fuzzy membership functions are obtained for repair time and failure rate of all components, and a fuzzy Monte Carlo method is presented to evaluate both indices for each possible PDCs' location.

The proposed control framework is comprised of a two-level control structure. At the primary level, the V-I droop control method is adopted. In this method, the distributed energy resources (DERs) are synchronised to a common synchronous reference frame and load sharing is accomplished through voltage-current droop characteristics in this frame. The secondary level, which has a distributed structure, mitigates the voltage deviations induced by the primary level and eliminates the current sharing error caused by the line impedances. The data exchange among the DERs is controlled using event- and ST algorithms. In order to reduce the communication burden, the feedback control laws are realised using estimated variables, which are updated at certain event times. The event times are extracted based on Lyapunov stability analysis and by consideration of the V-I droop characteristics. Comparison of event and ST algorithms shows that while the event-triggered strategy offers superior dynamic response, the ST approach requires lower network traffic.

The availability of ample reactive power reserve is essential to ensure voltage stability of the power system. Voltage stability and status of reactive power reserves can be monitored in real-time by using synchrophasor measurements at a very fast reporting rate. Although much attention has been given to online voltage stability monitoring, there has been less focus on real-time monitoring of reactive power reserve status. In this regard, the major contributions of the study are: (i) development of a novel distance-based generalised approach for the computation of the system reactive power index, (ii) a proactive methodology for identification and impact estimation of the nearest Q-limit breach and (iii) formulation of an optimisation problem to identify the limited number of critical generators that need PMUs for accurately predicting the value of the proposed index. The proposed scheme looks at the reactive power reserve of the generators in the network as numerical features. The istance between the base case and nose point numerical features is computed offline. The distance between the current operating point and nose point numerical features can be computed in an online manner. The ratio of these two distance measures is proposed as a system reactive power index. Moreover, a methodology to predict the post-Q limit breach value of the index is also introduced. The proposed approach can be used with PMUs, linear state estimators or traditional SCADA measurements.
