Prosumer Integration in Flexibility Markets: A Bid Development and Pricing Model

The impact of renewable energies on the power grid is continuously increasing. Besides the emission-free power generation, the renewable energies often are the cause for con-gested grids, component failure and costly interventions by the distribution system operators (DSO) and transmission system operators (TSO) in order to maintain grid stability. The scien-tific community discusses in recent years the usability of distrib-uted energy resources (DER) as flexible devices. However, no approach can be found that actually quantifies the potential flexibility and sets a price to it. The model presented in this pa-per optimizes the charging operation of an electric vehicle (EV) according to a price signal with a state of the art exhaustive search algorithm. Furthermore, this model offers all possible de-viations from the optimal operation as flexibility to a corre-sponding market platform and sets a price to each offer, which is dependent on the future price level of the energy. With this model, it is possible to offer positive and negative prices for flex-ibility. The proposed model shows that an exhaustive enumera-tion algorithm is feasible to calculate flexibility offers, prices and applicable on currently discussed platform models. The example of an EV charging schedule is successfully modelled and de-scribed in this paper.     «
