Daily game theoretical management of a connected industrial microgrid

This paper deals with a short-term (i.e. daily) operational management tool for industrial companies included in an industrial microgrid framework. A peer-to-microgrid system is proposed in order to take advantage at best of the local renewable energy generation and/or to decrease the electricity bill of the prosumers/consumers. Moreover, load management is considered as a possible way to improve the microgrid operation. The choice to apply load management (or not) is done by a game theoretical approach, including the DSO who is also the microgrid manager, besides the prosumers and the consumers. The benefits of load management and the application of the daily game theoretical framework are illustrated in this paper.
