Abstract
The installation of distributed energy resources (DER) heavily impacts on the power patterns of the prosumers. In fact, the variability of the generation, together with the technical characteristics of the storage systems, may introduce a huge variety in the shape of the net power curves seen from the point of common coupling (PCC). This leads to completely rethink the definition of the time series required to create homogeneous group of prosumers, for providing useful tools to manage the emerging paradigms in the electricity system, such as energy communities and local energy markets. Moreover, the differences between the local energy production and consumption at the PCC could become hidden, if the local energy management has to be considered as a private decision of the local user. In this case, only net metering (that implies a unique measurement of the net electricity taken from the grid) will be used to evaluate the impact on the network of the net power curves. Hence, new approaches are required to properly measure the electricity exchange at the PCC. This paper addresses how the net metering outcomes depend on the time resolution of the measured data, and how the information taken from net metering can be valued by giving different price rates to positive and negative values. Specific examples are provided to remark the importance of the time resolution to properly characterise the prosumers.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
