Energy Routers in Transactive Energy Communities

This paper presents a study on transactive energy inside an Energy Community. Being the Energy Community a legal entity where citizens, that is, final consumers of energy, sharing the same geographic location come together to cooperate in the generation and distribution of energy, it is important to understand the sharing of benefits between nZEB type of buildings (the ones that locally produce energy) and the other community members. Being this energy transaction process enabled by the usage of power electronics Energy Routers, this study analysis the financial benefits for all Energy Community members when a transactive energy process is establish between nZEB and non-nZEB community members. The return of investment is also analysed for nZEB members.
