Optimal network charge for peer-to-peer energy trading: a grid perspective by Yang, Yu, Chen, Yue, Hu, Guoqiang, Spanos, Costas J.

“…Simulations on the IEEE bus systems show that the proposed optimal network charge is favorable as it can benefit both the grid operator and the prosumers for empowering the P2P market, and achieves near-optimal social welfare. Moreover, the results show that the presence of energy storage will make the prosumers more sensitive to the network charge price changes.…”
