Abstract
In this paper, we aim to leverage peer to peer (P2P) transactive energy framework for optimal control of rooftop or neighborhood solar power with battery electric storage systems (BESS). Here we propose that the multiple neighboring customers would interconnect to form a community DC grid while still being connected to the main utility grid. The proposed infrastructure would (i) increase the resilience of the customers in case the utility grid becomes unavailable, (ii) reduce AC/DC conversion losses since a majority of the DER generation is in DC, and (iii) with the help of BESS, the customers will have a lesser impact on the utility grid in terms of California 'duck curve.' The exchange of resources and further utilization of economies of scale would significantly reduce the cost of this new infrastructure. Customers will be able to fall back on the utility AC grid in case of a…
