Abstract

Nowadays renewable energy sources are actively promoted as the most sustainable types of power to drive electricity generation of the future. Distributed generation with the use of wind turbines, solar panel, and biological fuel may become an answer to the numerous challenges which large power grids are facing. But integration of renewable energy based generation facilities requires not only availability of special technical means but also establishing of new types of trading patterns and platforms are necessary. This article provides the concept of smart billing system which allows to involve single households to the progressive type of energy consumption and generation and creates the new type of energy system and market participant – prosumer. Two types of billing approaches are suggested for households equipped with renewable energy sources based generation facilities. The first one implies that generated energy is consumed by the household itself and the second one implies that surplus of generated energy is sold to the grid. As calculation has shown the first pattern is beneficial for small facilities which in overall don’t have a large surplus in generation over consumption. And the second one is beneficial for those who generate more than they consume.

Highlights

  • One of the challenges of the energy security doctrine, approved by the Presidential decree 216 of May 13, 2019, is an increase in the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the global fuel and energy balance

  • In order to form an adequate response to this challenge, Russia needs the development and support of domestic manufacturers of equipment for renewable sources, as well as mechanisms for supporting renewable energy and creating a convenient platform for mutual settlements of a new type of consumer / producer prosumer and the traditional system for selling electricity [1, 2]

  • Of great importance is the readiness of scientific organizations to develop competitive domestic equipment and local factories to begin production of equipment intended for the use of renewable energy sources

Summary

Modern challenges for the power system of Russia

One of the challenges of the energy security doctrine, approved by the Presidential decree 216 of May 13, 2019, is an increase in the share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the global fuel and energy balance. In order to form an adequate response to this challenge, Russia needs the development and support of domestic manufacturers of equipment for renewable sources, as well as mechanisms for supporting renewable energy and creating a convenient platform for mutual settlements of a new type of consumer / producer prosumer and the traditional system for selling electricity [1, 2]. Such a shift will be possible due to the development of intelligent technologies in the field of energy and the steady increase in the amount of renewable energy, which are the objectives of the abovementioned doctrine. Of great importance is the readiness of scientific organizations to develop competitive domestic equipment and local factories to begin production of equipment intended for the use of renewable energy sources
