consumption during peak hours in exchange for discounted grid tariffs. But how can such a community deliver this service through dynamic pricing? And what’s the best way to ensure fair distribution of the collective benefits? If these questions intrigue you, check out the article for a deeper dive!

How can energy communities—groups of prosumers located within the same distribution feeder—provide valuable grid services, specifically “capacity limitation services,” to distribution system operators?

How can energy communities provide grid services? A dynamic pricing mechanism with budget balance, individual rationality, and fair allocation
Following recent Danish legislation promoting energy communities, we explore how these communities can provide grid services to distribution system op…

bidding either 0 or the entire available capacity in the day-ahead market. We addressed this issue by introducing explicit risk constraints to the bidding problem, mitigating this "betting" behavior, while using historical data to learn a linear bidding policy. Hope you find it interesting to read!

The bidding problem under a single imbalance pricing scheme looks like betting, leading to an all-or-nothing strategy. This means energy producers may decide whether to gamble on the imbalance being long or short, often resulting in (1/2)
Betting vs. Trading: Learning a Linear Decision Policy for Selling Wind Power and Hydrogen
We develop a bidding strategy for a hybrid power plant combining co-located wind turbines and an electrolyzer, constructing a price-quantity bidding curve for the day-ahead electricity market while op...
