“…Over the past years, numerous research studies have been carried out to analyse the actual and future supply and demand energy patterns in the residential sector [31][32][33][34][35][36]. Research works focus on the characterisation of the energy profile of households (apartments and single-houses), consumers' preferences, and impact over the grid management [37][38][39] in order to facilitate utilities´planning activities while benefitting the consumer with a reduction in their energy bills. These studies are mainly concerned with load shape, peak load, and quality of service provided by power companies [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47], using Energy Management Systems capable of communicating with the Grid Management Operator to facilitate automated demand response actions.…”

The main objective is to propose a calculation method for assessing the benefits of individual domestic prosumers in self-consumption and economic savings when managing their own energy resources. The paper applies the demand-side management concept in the residential sector from the individual domestic perspective so that customers can understand the value of their own sustainable energy resources, conducting self-generation and demand management. The novelty lies in allowing the prosumer to manage their own energy resources to their benefit at a reasonable cost, instead of participating in automated large residential demand-side-management programmes that respond to the means of the grid system operator or other energy service companies, such as aggregators. A methodology for calculating the self-consumption rate and the economic benefit for the consumer is proposed, including three different cases: consumer demand is higher than self-generation, and consumer demand is equal to self-generation, and consumer demand is lower than self-generation. The methodology is validated with actual data from a household in Valencia (Spain) during a complete year, obtaining an average reduction in the annual electricity bill of 70% and a demand coverage with the self-renewable system reaching values of 80% throughout the year. The significance of this methodology goes beyond the economic revenue of the individual consumer; it also aims to guide consumers towards efficient practices in the use of their available energy resources and raise awareness on their energy behaviour.
