A Trade Model Design of Distributed Renewable Energy Considering the Self-Upgrading of Prosumers

Realizing the renewable revolution must motivate all stakeholders' participation. How to incentivize them to actively join in distributed renewable energy trades and to self-consciously upgrade their electricity generation systems in order to improve their electricity-providing stability is of importance. However, limited studies touched on this issue. To address this issue, a series of theoretical analyses are implemented to argument which trade model can achieve the above goal, in which the corresponding trade structure, trade process, trade criteria, and trade price and penalty fee strategies are analyzed in order. In the model, due to the introduction of corresponding trade structure, trade criteria as well as the design of trade price scheme, the miscellaneous distributed renewable energies coming from different prosumers could be classified into six types and be matched to different trade-layer and relevant trade models; the prosumers of providing the electricity with different stability have enough motivation to conduct self-upgrading.
