Result: Market clearing model for energy communities

Energy communities will be a key element within the future of the electric system and the smart grid environment. They will help pave the way for a cleaner energy transition with the citizens as the main force driving it. This figure will provide the necessary legal structure so that consumers, prosumers and small distributed generators could group together to actively participate into the electrical system. Based on this, the proposed master s thesis presents a new approach where distributed generators and consumers could be organized under a common energy community and implement a market clearing model to exchange their energy requirements in it. Thus, an active and reactive market clearing model for a network constrained multiperiod auction is proposed. This approach offers a new concept for exchanging market offers in its complex form (with active and reactive terms) and to also integrate the procedure for allocating network losses, congestion management and system stability within the solution.
