“…The Unified model exploits an MILP problem, solved with the Branch and Bound algorithm, which takes into account the energy needs of all the prosumers and optimizes energy sharing at the community level. On the other hand, with the Separated model, proposed in [38,39], each prosumer is modeled separately, while with the Cascade model, discussed in [40], the overall solution is obtained by iterating a number of MILP problems, solved in a sequential fashion.…”

Edge Computing Parallel Approach for Efficient Energy Sharing in a Prosumer Community

The transition towards more sustainable energy management can be supported by the diffusion of energy communities, i.e., coalitions of prosumers that are willing to exchange the energy produced locally. The optimization of energy management requires the solution of a prosumer problem that can become impractical when the number of users increases. This paper presents a parallel approach, based on an edge computing architecture, which is suitable for large communities. The users are partitioned into groups whose proportions, in terms of producers and consumers, mirror the composition of the whole community. The prosumer problems for the different groups are first solved separately and in parallel by local edge nodes. Then, the solutions are combined by a central entity to redistribute the energy among the groups and minimize the exchange of energy with the external grid. A set of experiments show that the parallel approach, when compared with an approach that solves the optimization problem in a single stage, leads to a notable reduction of computing resources, and becomes feasible in large communities for which the single-stage approach is impossible. Moreover, the achieved solution is close to the optimal solution in terms of energy costs.

“…Also, countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom with a large number of publications have not appeared in the top ten high-publishing institutions. It can be seen that the current [31,32], Aalto University focuses on district heating [33,34], the Polytechnic University of Bucharest noticed the power distribution system [35,36], the University of Calabria focuses on home automation system [37,38], Aalborg University researches blockchain [39], the Polytechnic University of Turin considers energy management [40,41], and the University of Lisbon focuses more on self-consumption [42,43]. In Table 5, keyword frequency ranking shows the hotspots in the research field of prosumer from 2009 to 2020 at a certain level.…”

Energy prosumer participates in the balance of the energy system actively through their production and consumption of energy and will become a major participant in the open energy market increasingly in the future. This paper used the bibliometric method to sort out 1251 literature data related to energy prosumer in the “Web of Science Core Collection” and used the software named CiteSpace to perform statistics and cooccurrence analysis. The research found the following: (a) journals in the field of prosumer have their emphasis on theory, application, policy, and modeling; (b) the United States and European institutions have published the articles most, and the academic influence of Chinese scholars needs to be further improved; (c) the focus of the prosumers’ research in the past decade has turned the energy system designing to the market transaction research; (d) P2P, P2G, and prosumer community are three market models that have attracted attention for scholars; besides, self-consumption, market matching, district heating, aggregators, and household energy management systems are also the current research hotspots; (e) digital technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, and blockchain have a significant impact on the prosumer participating in energy market transactions, which will change the existing energy supply chain model profoundly. In the context of the energy Internet, energy trading platforms, digital ecosystems, cross-border innovation, and other fields will become the hotspots in future research on prosumer.

“…The DRp is based on the solution of a prosumer problem [27], i.e., an energy cost-minimization problem, which determines the appliance scheduling and the use of ESSs in order to support the energy balance in the power system network and reduce the consumer energy cost. The motivation for consumers to participate in a DRp is to minimize the energy cost because the DRp allows energy users of all kinds to act as a VPP and lower their demand for electricity, which also contributes to increase the stability of the grid.…”

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, limiting the effects of climate change and decreasing the environmental, social and economic costs of energy production are some of the main issues related to the sustainable development of modern society. Energy communities, envisioned to enable local energy exchange between consumers and producers of renewable energy, represent a possible scenario towards a cleaner and sustainable energy system. In this paper, an energy community management model called Power Cloud and presented in previous papers is proposed for a real-world practical application at the University of Calabria. In particular, the implementation of the information and communication technology (ICT) architecture and other enabling technologies, such as the nanogrid and the smart energy box, are discussed in detail. The experiment results show that by adopting the Power Cloud management model it is possible to obtain significant savings in terms of energy cost, which provide benefit for a community, such as a university campus.
