Analyzing Energy Community Integration in Distribution Network Operations
The energy transition towards renewable sources has led to the emergence of local energy communities (LECs) as transactive collectives for coordinated resource utilization. Defining an automatic energy management system (EMS) is crucial for successful LEC implementation. The presentation deals with operating multiple energy communities in the same distribution network. The proposed procedure adopts an optimization technique and considers the collaborative characteristics of local energy communities. It analyzes transaction prices and describes the challenges associated with the coordination, balancing, and settlement of transactions in a multi-community environment. Furthermore, the presentation deals with the use of the reactive power compensation service that local energy communities can provide.
