Peer-to-peer energy trading in low-voltage distribution networks

The aim of this project is to study the feasibility and present the development and applicability of P2P trading in low voltage (LV) distribution networks.

The thesis looks into two types of trading: 1) kilowatt (kW) trading and 2) negawatt (nW) trading and addresses voltage rise and power loss challenges of the power system that network operators and third-party energy service providers may encounter for implementing P2P trading in the local market.

With successful completion, this project will demonstrate the potentiality of the implementation of P2P trading in today’s electricity market and show how it can contribute to maintaining the sustainable operation of the renewable-driven energy economy.
