Loss Allocation in Joint Transmission and Distribution Peer-to-Peer Markets

Large deployment of distribute energy resources and the increasing awareness of end-users towards their energy procurement are challenging current practices of electricity markets. A change of paradigm, from a top-down hierarchical approach to a more decentralized framework, has been recently researched, with market structures relying on multi-bilateral trades among market participants. In order to guarantee feasibility in power system operation, it is crucial to rethink the interaction with system operators and the way operational costs are shared in such decentralized markets. We propose here to include system operators, both at transmission and distribution level, as active actors of the market, accounting for power grid constraints and line losses. Moreover, to avoid market outcomes that discriminate agents for their geographical location, we analyze loss allocation policies and their impact on market outcomes and prices.

Peer-to-peer and community-based markets: A comprehensive review

The advent of more proactive consumers, the so-called "prosumers", with production and storage capabilities, is empowering the consumers and bringing new opportunities and challenges to the operation of power systems in a market environment. Recently, a novel proposal for the design and operation of electricity markets has emerged: these so-called peer-to-peer (P2P) electricity markets conceptually allow the prosumers to directly share their electrical energy and investment. Such P2P markets rely on a consumer-centric and bottom-up perspective by giving the opportunity to consumers to freely choose the way they are to source their electric energy. A community can also be formed by prosumers who want to collaborate, or in terms of operational energy management. This paper contributes with an overview of these new P2P markets that starts with the motivation, challenges, market designs moving to the potential future developments in this field, providing recommendations while considering a test-case.
