Abstract

Recently, with the penetration of numerous Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in Smart Distribution Networks (SDN), Local Transactive Markets have emerged. Exchanging energy between all participants of local markets results in the satisfaction of producers and consumers. Based on these issues, this study provides a novel framework for the participation of SDN-independent entities in wholesale and local electricity markets simultaneously. In this regard, the considered system’s players, namely Distribution System Operator (DSO) and DER Aggregator (AG), take part within local as well as wholesale markets in two-day ahead and real-time stages. Moreover, to deal with the inherent conflict between the existing players’ interests, a Stackelberg game-based technique is proposed. In the raised competition, the leader, DSO, attempts to minimize its operating costs, while the follower, DER AG, tends to maximize its profit. Therefore, actors’ actions choices within both markets are made non-cooperatively. On the other hand, to handle the uncertain nature of stochastic parameters in the depicted problem, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), together with a fast backward/forward scenario reduction approach, is exploited. Ultimately, to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed scheme, two different case studies, with and without considering the competitive environment, are implemented on a modified IEEE-33 bus SDN.
