Abstract
Arbitrage is the exploitation of a commodity price differential intwo or more markets. Energy Sufficiency is an element of an energyportfolio that makes use of just-in-time electrical or thermal genera-tion or conversion. Energy Sufficiency Arbitrage requires the use of asufficiency-inclusive private energy portfolio, characterized by a non-zero Energy Index (ENDX™) [2].A sufficiency-inclusive energy portfolio for consumers of largeamounts of energy, specifically with high energy density (>70W/m2,for example), can be implemented using a private micro-grid, whichcreates a local energy market: a microgrid converts one form of energyinto a more useful one at a certain cost. Arbitrage pricing opportuni-ties are created in the pricing differential between microgrids andmacrogrids, with a resulting cost reduction, often significant, for theportfolio owner.We discuss in this paper how a Sufficiency Arbitrage advantagesare created and managed as part of the Sufficiency Kaizen continuousimprovement process [3].
