Abstract :
[en] This paper proposes a cooperative approach aimed at distributed energy resources sizing in a renewable energy community, with considerations of the community's optimal operation, impact on the electrical grid and fair allocation of the benefits to its members. To this purpose, multiple investment modes are evaluated via a two-step procedure. In the first step, the size of renewable energy sources is determined by solving an optimization problem that maximizes community welfare, considering network and investments. In the second step, an optimization problem maximizing additional community member profit with price regularisation is solved. This step ensures fair benefit sharing among community members. The potential of the proposed procedure is illustrated using a benchmark Dickert-LV network.
