The State And Prospects Organization of Decentralized Electricity Trade At the Regional Level

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of problems and experience of conducting research on the implementation of Smart Grid and Demand Response concepts in power supply systems with sources of distributed, decentralized generation and active consumers in power systems. The issue of finding ways to solve the scientific and technical problems of implementing the concepts of Smart Grid and Demand Response when solving the tasks of designing and building local electric power systems, taking into account the peculiarities of their functioning in the unified energy system of Ukraine was considered. The range of under-researched problems of decentralized management development in the retail segment of the electricity market in the organization of micro-markets based on the application of modern approaches of multi-agent management and block chain technology for the business processes organization is outlined. The main tasks of the conceptual design of the new market architecture of micro-markets on local electricity systems and their integration into the existing systems of organizational, operational-technological and information management of the electricity market are presented. Micro-markets are actually developing and, with experience, can become a driver for the post-war development of the market infrastructure in terms of the simultaneous implementation and practical application the Smart Grid and Demand Response principles for the implementation of technical solutions at the retail market level.
