Abstract
In this paper, a novel methodology is presented in the context of a peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange, with respect to carbon emissions. The methodology includes two steps: 1) the characterization of the users as “energy surplus” or “energy-deficient”, and 2) the definition of a zone with dynamic boundaries, in which the P2P exchange is enabled. A graph theory approach is also used, to overcome the flowchart complexity and make the case easily extendable for the future. A case study of a microgrid with 50 users is examined. The results showed that a P2P exchange could provide considerable benefits both for the users and the grid, by achieving significant carbon emissions reduction at the same time.
