Aggregation of Prosumers in the Context of Demand Response and Distributed Generation Remuneration and Scheduling

With the introduction of Smart Grids, the consumer definition is changing. Bi-directional communication opens the way for consumer to produce his own energy and sell it to the network or even to other consumers of a Local Community. The so-called Prosumers. With this, a new level of difficulty is added to the market management - uncertainty. Not only regarding of the participation of this new type of consumer in the market but also from DG units. The need to adapt the business models arises. The present paper seeks a solution to this new challenge by creating a method that can aggregate and manage these small resources. The innovative part from previous works is the study of the influence of prosumers in the final remuneration. Should the aggregator entity treat this new type of consumer as unique? Or continue the normal approach and consider them individual? This study shows that Aggregators may benefit with the prosumers.
