Incorporating P2P Trading Into DSO's Decision-Making: A DSO-Prosumers Cooperated Scheduling Framework for Transactive Distribution System

The emerging prosumers have changed the way traditional distribution systems operate. While harvesting the benefits of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), prosumers' self-dispatching and internal energy trading can also bring technical challenges and economic loss to the distribution system operator (DSO). To this end, a DSO-prosumers cooperated scheduling framework for the transactive distribution system, which considers the impact of prosumers' peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading, is proposed in this paper. First, by incorporating the P2P energy trading among prosumers into scheduling, prosumers and the DSO can cooperate to optimize the power flow. Meanwhile, the Nash bargaining theory is introduced to achieve the optimal allocation of interests. Then, to improve the computational efficiency, the established bargaining problem is decomposed into two subproblems, i.e., the optimal physical power flow problem, and the virtual power flow bargaining problem. Finally, in order to protect individual privacy, each problem is solved via the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm in a distributed manner. Case study based on the IEEE 33-bus test system verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2022 IEEE.
