Energy exchange strategy for local energy markets with heterogenous renewable sources

The study, presented in this paper, aims to show the impact of installation of fuel cells in a local energy market with renewables and batteries. The market is in the form of double auction where a prosumer can submit a bid for future timeslot with a given amount and price for electricity, determined by prosumer?s Exchange Strategy, based on the State of Charge (SoC) of the battery. In addition, each prosumer is also equipped with a priority-based agent for internal power management. The proposed simulation is based on the Open Energy Systems (OES), in which 19 autonomous subsystems are interconnected via a DC power bus. Each subsystem is equipped with batteries, solar panels and AC grid connection. For the simulation purposes, fuel cells are added to the configuration. The preliminary numerical evaluation is based on the results from several simulations with various configurations for the subsystems' power sources.
