Local Energy Markets Paving the Path Toward the Low-Carbon Digital Power Distribution System

This book provides insight into the coordinated optimization of local energy market (LEM) with low-carbon digital operation of the distribution system from a demand-side perspective. There are four sections to characterize the ongoing development and future trends of LEM, including trading behaviors of prosumers, market design considering the impacts of uncertainties, LEM constrained by the distribution network, green LEM considering carbon emission and cutting-edge technologies. This book is expected to offer researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of electrical engineering and energy economics with a unique understanding of LEM.
