Abstract

Local clusters of Distributed Energy Resources, e.g. photovoltaic residential rooftop installations, put stress on the distribution grid due to reverse flows and induced overvoltage. Current mitigation strategies incentivize storage, because it helps reducing costs due to non-net metering and curtailment reduction. However, the mitigation strategies incentivize individual storage systems and do not incentivize self-consumption between neighbours. In this, there is room for optimization, as coordination of the flexibility between houses may result in achieving the same result with less investments in energy storage systems. This aspect is investigated in this paper, by exploring the potential of local energy communities.
