  • Publication number: 20230419211
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to optimal intraday scheduling of aggregated Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Owing to their stochastic nature, DERs aggregators are more suited to participate in intraday electricity markets. The current works on DER aggregators trading in intraday markets do not satisfactorily model the different aspects. The disclosure is an optimal trading strategy for aggregators managing heterogeneous DERs to participate in intraday markets. The intraday market is modelled using a joint price-volume dynamics distribution and an optimal bidding strategy is disclosed for the trades/bids placed earlier to be corrected based on the revised forecasts of demand and generation while allowing for energy exchanges within the DER pool. Further the optimal bidding strategy of aggregators in an intraday market is a MINLP problem, which is solved by converting the complex non-linearities in the problem into a coupled MILP—simple maximization set-up, which is then solved in an iterative fashion.

  • Patent number: 11817706
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a system and method for transactive energy (TE) market model. Existing TE models either consider market without a network simulation model or both the market model and the network simulation model are considered in a single formulation which makes the computation complex. The disclosed system considers both the power flow simulation of the network and the market model in a sequence. In other words, the disclosed system decouples the market model and network model to reduce the computational complexity at the same time without sacrificing on the technical feasibility of the solution.
