Abstract

Electricity networks are experiencing increasing congestion and reliability issues as current generation and transmission infrastructures endeavour to match the supply with demand. The integration of intermittent renewable energy resources such as photovoltaic (PV) systems has led to a large variation in energy production and increased supply uncertainty in power systems. In this context, demand-side management (DSM) schemes can be used to motivate prosumers to refine their energy behaviours by offering them various incentives. This study presents a universally-applied methodology that will promote the deployment of effective price-based DSM for residential prosumers. The proposed methodology can be applied on both prosumers and consumers since the utilization of the net-load profile was found to reduce the percentage of unintended revenues by 15%. Additionally, the effectiveness of the methodology was validated through a pilot-network of 300 residential prosumers with installed rooftop PV systems, and resulted in seasonally dependent peak consumption reduction in the range of 1.03% and 3.19% and a reduction of the overall consumption by approximately 2%. Finally, the conducted cost-benefit analysis demonstrated an overall net-benefit of €4.62mln, over a 15-year period, when considering assumptions that are linked to the costs and benefits of a nationwide deployment of the proposed DSM scheme.
