“…These models differ with respect to their prosumer interactions and autonomy, as well as in terms of what incentives should be offered for the prosumer‐generated electricity to be consumed locally or sold to the grid. Similar concepts with regard to prosumer interactions with the electricity system and applying different methods can be found in the literature in papers that use the following terms: peer‐to‐peer electricity supply, prosumer community groups, neighborhood electricity trading, and energy communities . An example of a prosumer electricity trading project that is already implemented is the ‘Brooklyn Microgrid,' as investigated by Mengelkamp et al, who examined the project against a set of components identified as being essential for a microgrid energy market.…”

Organizing prosumers into electricity trading communities: Costs to attain electricity transfer limitations and self‐sufficiency goals

Summary Among household electricity end users, there is growing interest in local renewable electricity generation and energy independence. Community‐based and neighborhood energy projects, where consumers and prosumers of electricity trade their energy locally in a peer‐to‐peer system, have started to emerge in different parts of the world. This study investigates and compares the costs incurred by individual households and households organized in electricity trading communities in seeking to attain greater independence from the centralized electricity system. This independence is investigated with respect to: (i) the potential to reduce the electricity transfer capacity to and from the centralized system and (ii) the potential to increase self‐sufficiency. An optimization model is designed to analyze the investment and operation of residential photovoltaic battery systems. The model is then applied to different cases in a region of southern Sweden for year 2030. Utilizing measured electricity demand data for Swedish households, we show that with a reduced electricity transfer capacity to the centralized system, already a community of five residential prosumers can supply the household demand at lower cost than can prosumers acting individually. Grouping of residential prosumers in an electricity trading community confers greater benefits under conditions with a reduced electricity transfer capacity than when the goal is to become electricity self‐sufficient. It is important to consider the local utilization of photovoltaic‐generated electricity and its effect on the net trading pattern (to and from the centralized system) when discussing the impact on the electricity system of a high percentage of prosumers.

“…Prosumer community Groups (PCG): According to Rathnayaka et al [14], "PCG is defined as a network of prosumers having relatively similar energy sharing behaviour and interests, which make an effort to pursue a mutual goal and jointly compete in the energy market". In fact, PCGs are designed to overcome possible inflexibility arising from micro-grids and technical VPP such as complexity to add or remove new members.…”

“…Such complexity demands new instruments and institutional arrangements to optimally integrate generation and demand at a local level. Various approaches are available for energy system integration such as Micro-grids [10], Integrated Energy Systems [11], Virtual Power Plants [12] [11], Energy Hubs [13] and Prosumer Community Groups [14]. These approaches, however, are designed to adapt to an existing blue-print of a centralized energy system.…”

Energy systems across the globe are going through a radical transformation as a result of technological and institutional changes, depletion of fossil fuel resources, and climate change. At the local level, increasing distributed energy resources requires that the centralized energy systems be re-organized. In this paper, the concept of Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICESs) is presented as a modern development to re-organize local energy systems to integrate distributed energy resources and engage local communities. Local energy systems such as ICESs not only ensure self-provision of energy but also provide essential system services to the larger energy system. In this regard, a comparison of different energy system integration option is provided. We review the current energy trends and the associated technological, socio-economic, environmental and institutional issues shaping the development of ICESs. These systems can be applied to both developed and developing countries, however, their objectives, business models as well as composition differs. ICESs can be accepted by different actors such as local governments, communities, energy suppliers and system operators as an effective means to achieve sustainability and thereby will have significant roles in future energy systems.

“…Based on the evaluated literature, we present eight propositions and thoroughly describe several future research directions.Smart grids differ from traditional utility grids, where consumers use energy from the utility provider and are charged based on their consumption. On the other hand, in the smart grid, energy users may generate, store, or trade energy with other users in the grid [4].The smart grid framework consists of five main elements that enable seamless energy sharing [5]. These include smart energy and information infrastructures, bidirectional communication, advanced management systems, standards and legislation, and sustainable integration with prosumers [5].…”

Prosumer Communities and Relationships in Smart Grids: A Literature Review, Evolution and Future Directions

2018

Smart grids are robust, self-healing networks that allow bidirectional propagation of energy and information within the utility grid. This introduces a new type of energy user who consumes, produces, stores and shares energy with other grid users. Such a user is called a “prosumer.” Prosumers’ participation in the smart grid is critical for the sustainability and long-term efficiency of the energy sharing process. Thus, prosumer management has attracted increasing attention among researchers in recent years. This paper systematically examines the literature on prosumer community based smart grid by reviewing relevant literature published from 2009 to 2018 in reputed energy and technology journals. We specifically focus on two dimensions namely prosumer community groups and prosumer relationships. Based on the evaluated literature, we present eight propositions and thoroughly describe several future research directions.
