Dynamic operating envelopes embedded peer-to-peer-to-grid energy trading

A novel decentralized peer-to-peer-to-grid (P2P2G) trading mechanism considering distribution network integrity is proposed. In order to direct prosumers’ peer-to-peer (P2P) trading behavior to be grid-friendly, the proposed method incorporates Dynamic Operating Envelopes (DOEs) into the existing P2P2G trading. Moreover, DOEs are determined through negotiations between the distribution system operator (DSO) and prosumers alongside the process of P2P trading, avoiding compromising prosumers’ privacy and network parameters leakage. To reduce communication costs during P2P trading, a variant of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), i.e., communication-censored ADMM (COCA) is used to solve the P2P2G trading problem. Finally, the DOE price is shown to be comprised of several economically interpretable components. Simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism. •The Dynamic Operating Envelopes ensure grid-friendly P2P2G trading.•ADMM is used for DOE negotiation, ensuring privacy for both DSO and prosumers.•An interpretable DOE price is derived by duality analysis for P2P2G trading.
