A bottom-up model for energy trading markets and prosumers coordination in microgrids

In this dissertation, a comprehensive solution is offered for a local energy trading market that bridges the gap between simulation and real-life requirements. Hence, a bottom-up approach is adopted in designing the market model. At the device level, non-linear models are presented and experimentally validated based on testbeds. At the building level, an energy management algorithm is presented and evaluated based on multiple generic loads. Based on these systems, a market model is developed with device-oriented bidding strategies that are tailored to the technical constraints of the flexible devices in residential buildings.
