Self sustained producer-consumer(prosumer) policy study using Python and Gurobi

Overview

Prosumer Policy

This project aims to model the optimum dispatch behaviour of households with PV and battery systems under different policy instrument mixes. Household electricity consumers with photovoltaics and battery systems are referred to as prosumers since they both produce and consume electricity. This model uses the Gurobi optimizer (plans on adding more soon, contact us if you want to have more interfaces) to determine the optimal household charging behaviour under different policies such as real-time electricity pricing schemes, time varying remunerations schemes and fixed network charges. For the full scientific documentation, please refer to this paper: Aligning prosumers with the electricity wholesale market – The impact of time-varying price signals and fixed network charges on solar self-consumption.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

This model depends on Python >3.5, the packages Numpy and Pandas for data wrangling and Gurobi python package for optimization. Gurobi offers a free license for Academic use.

Sample Usage

The interface point between the package and the user is the Model Class. An instance of this class can be created as follows:

w=Model()

Each model instance has a set of system attributes, policy attributes and optimization parameters.

System Attributes

System attributes include, among others, PV and battery system size. Other parameters, such as battery efficiencies etc.. can be changed in the parametrs.yaml file.

Battery and PV size can be set as follows:

w.PV.size=5 #sets PV size to 5 kW
w.Battery.size=5 #sets Battery size to 5 kWh

Other parameters can be updated either from the default YAML file or a custom YAML file as follows:

w.PV.update_parameters() #updates from default YAML file

w.Battery.update_parameters('customFile.yaml') #updates from custom YAML File
Policy Attributes

For each instance of Model there exists a specific regulatory regime made up of:

  • RTP: Real Time Electricity Pricing
  • VFIT: Variable Feed in Remuneration
  • FixedNetworkCharges: Fixed or Volumetric Network charges

Parameters can be defined in YAML file and could also be changed as follows:

w.Policy.isRTP=False

or through a custom (or default) yaml parameter file

w.Policy.update_parameters('customFile.yaml') 
Optimization Parameters

Optimization parameters such as foresight duration and starting day of year can be edited as follows

w.timeDuration=24 #sets foresight to 24h
w.day=45 #sets the day 45 of the year
Optimization and Results Extracting

With the aforementioned parameters the Model can be optimized:

print(w.opt) #returns the dispatch as a DataFrame 
print(w.revenue) #returns the revenue 

Additional parameters can be computed such as MAI, IRR, etc.. The MAI stands for Market Alignment Indicator which measures the performance of a certain instrument mixes in comparison to an ideal case
