“…The feed-in tariff (FIT) was conducted in Argentina but is not as profitable as net billing and net metering schemes for DG [5]. Subsidies and fiscal incentives were implemented in Brazil through research and development programs to promote the development of DG [6].…”

“…First, the network fee is a specialized distribution fee charged for the power network utilisation engaged in DG transactions. Specifically, the network fee includes the recovery of power distribution asset investment and operation and maintenance costs within the transaction area, which is less than the transmission and distribution fee 6 as the latter one charges for cost recovery of the whole system. However, the practical application of the network fee causes trouble for the grid company which tries to meet the expected revenue.…”

The market penetration of distributed generation (DG), particularly for that from renewables, has significantly increased in recent years. This trend will continue with the low-carbon transition of electric power systems, as a part of global efforts to combat climate change. 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.

“…Besides, it can be considered that some regulatory measures already adopted in the country can contribute to the formulation of more flexible energy prices, such as the use of remote self-consumption for users of the DG, which establishes that the distributed generation can be positioned in a location different from the connecting point of the holder, where each kWh should be compensated [18,19]. This type of application can favour a new energy trading methodology, and also, allows that the excess supply of a particular generator can be transported to a region with excess demand.…”

Electricity is an essential asset for the economic and social development of any region. In the search for a cleaner, balanced and economical process, the industry and the electricity sector suffered several transformations over the years. Renewable energies became appealing, but electric vehicles also deserve attention, especially because they can act as source or load, with an impact on the electricity tariff. This work uses nodal and zonal pricing methodologies in a distribution system to verify the renewable micro-generation advantage to the system and to scale them through an electricity tariff system, based on a regulatory context implemented in Brazil. The used methodology enables one to assess how the distributed generators, including electric vehicles working as sources, interfere with the locational pricing in the system.

The advance of the distributed generation in Brazil makes it essential to investigate the applications and transformations that the use of these new arrangements may entail. The use of non-centralized generation technologies associated with energy storage is interesting for several sectors of the energy market, even if the market is in the process of maturing these technologies. In the context of the time-of-use rate, these changes have allowed the consumer to use strategies to save energy bill costs, especially when its moment of most considerable consumption coincides with that of the highest tariff. In this paper, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is used to perform commercial peak load reduction in a microgrid in connected mode. The microgrid also has a Photovoltaic (PV) Generator Farm as Renewable Energy Sources (RES) to provide load consumption and also to assist BESS in the peak shaving operation. The modeling and simulation of the system are performed by MATLAB/Simulink. The analysis demonstrates that the peak load reduction produces the expected financial benefits under a Brazilian time-of-use rate known as White Rate, in addition to carrying out the operation in a manner consistent with the technique from an electrical point of view. The software Homer Grid validates the potential savings. Thus, the results showed that the use of energy storage associated with renewable generation under a peak shaving strategy allows greater freedom for the consumer in the face of costs with main grid purchases.
