Abstract:
Increased renewable penetration propelled by several international climate change initiatives and political thrusts of sovereign governments has changed the energy distribution arrangements. Microgrids (MGs) and peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing are considered as attractive solutions. However, investigation of feasibility for such solutions is often dependent on large amounts of user data. We propose a web-based platform to explore potential sites and assist the process of establishing MGs and P2P energy sharing. The platform incorporates psychological aspects and behaviour of users to collect relevant user data. The envisaged system can work with minimal amount of data to provide intermediate results, which further improve based on availability of more information from users. Additionally, the tool is capable of being coupled with other optimisation and simulation solutions. The uniqueness of this system lies in the fact that this platform is competent of validating the viability of solutions in multiple dimensions including technical, economic, and legal.
