59th International Universities Power Engineering Conference - UPEC 2024, Cardiff (United Kingdom). 02-06 September 2024


Summary:

The paper proposes an innovative model for integrating energy communities within urban districts according to the smart cities paradigm. The approach developed contemplates the proactive participation of members of an energy community in providing demand-side flexibility to address the variability and non-programmability of renewable energy with the goal of harnessing locally produced energy. A framework for transactive energy has been developed that incorporates forecasting methodologies, uncertainty assessment through Monte Carlo simulations and mixed-integer linear optimization based on cooperative game theory. The effectiveness of the developed model is illustrated through a case study showing resilience and cooperative capabilities in an inherently uncertain decision-making process.


Spanish layman's summary:

Desarrollo de un modelo para comunidades energéticas urbanas inteligentes orientado a mejorar el autoconsumo renovable local, integrando la flexibilidad de la demanda, el control cooperativo, el análisis de incertidumbre y el soporte a la toma de decisiones estratégicas.


English layman's summary:

Development of a model for smart urban energy communities aimed at improving local renewable self-consumption by integrating demand-side flexibility, cooperative control, uncertainty analysis, and support for strategic decision-making.


Keywords: Energy Communities, Robust optimization, Scenario Analysis, Uncertainty, Demand flexibility.
