Energy trading in microgrids for synergies among electricity, hydrogen and heat networks

Incentivizing Energy Trading for Interconnected Microgrids

In this paper, we study the interactions among interconnected autonomous microgrids, and develop a joint energy trading and scheduling strategy. Each interconnected microgrid not only schedules its local power supply and demand, but also trades energy with other microgrids in a distribution network. Specifically, microgrids with excessive renewable generations can trade with other microgrids in...

Reinforcement Learning-based Energy Trading for Microgrids

With the time-varying renewable energy generation and power demand, microgrids (MGs) exchange energy in smart grids to reduce their dependence on power plants. In this paper, we formulate an MG energy trading game, in which each MG trades energy according to the predicted renewable energy generation and local energy demand, the current battery level, and the energy trading history. The Nash equ...

Fuel cell cars in a microgrid for synergies between hydrogen and electricity networks

Fuel cell electric vehicles convert chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to power their motor. Since cars are used for transport only during a small part of the time, energy stored in the on-board hydrogen tanks of fuel cell vehicles can be used to provide power when cars are parked. In this paper, we present a community microgrid with photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, and fuel cell ...

Energy Trading and Pricing in Microgrids with Uncertain Energy Supply: A Three-Stage Hierarchical Game Approach

This paper studies an energy trading and pricing problem for microgrids with uncertain energy supply. The energy provider with the renewable energy (RE) generation (wind power) determines the energy purchase from the electricity markets and the pricing strategy for consumers to maximize its profit, and then the consumers determine their energy demands to maximize their payoffs. The hierarchical...
