Abstract

As part of the energy transition, private households become prosumer households with modern devices like photovoltaic systems, battery storage systems, and electric vehicles. This research tries to reduce the prosumers’ negative impact on the local power grid by assessing the impact of different incentivation and control mechanisms in a simulative, interactive scheduling scheme for households and a central grid instance. Results show a positive impact on grid operation by iterative mechanisms adding incentives or limitations for time steps with congestions in an iterative procedure. Although no single mechanism stands out in the investigation, the conditional power and daily peak pricing seem to offer a trade-off between grid relief and added costs for households without a need for communication. Further research on prosumer integration is needed for them to contribute to a resilient grid operation.
