Abstract
As distributed energy resources (DERs) are widely deployed, the DC packetized power microgrid is a promising solution to incorporate DERs effectively and steadily. In this paper, we consider a DC microgrid, where the energy is dispatched by a power router in the form of power packets. Since energy subscribers (ESs) with DERs in the microgrid can generate surplus electricity, the peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is an effective way in order to balance the energy. Different from the P2P trading in AC smart grids, the dispatching capability of the router in the DC microgrid needs to be considered, which will make the trading problem more complicated. To tackle this challenge, we formulate the P2P trading problem as an auction game, where the demander ESs submit bids to compete for power packets, and a controller decides the energy allocation and power packet scheduling. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is validated through simulations.
