Abstract

The increase of small size generation systems may cause congestions, hitherto unexpected, on the distribution network. To reduce the impact of congestions, the use of storage systems is one of the main countermeasure. In the paper, a storage management strategy based on a local energy market is proposed, in order to maximize the utility of an users community in which local market takes place. The numerical results obtained and shown in the paper demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed management strategy².
