Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading over Reliable Small Cell Networks

仅在加拿大，50%的潜在可用的非水电可再生能源容量未得到充分利用。由于小型分布式可再生能源发电机组的间歇性，将其与公用电网相结合是一项极具挑战性的工作。该NSERC发现研究计划旨在开发一个点对点（P2P）能源交易平台，以及最先进的可靠和低延迟通信网络，这将为分布式消费者，发电机和存储之间共享能源提供前所未有的机会。******从长远来看，能源交易可以更有效地利用可再生能源，并加强高度网络化的电网在面对灾难和攻击时的弹性。在该项目下进行的变革性研究将有助于加拿大研究人员在电力和通信领域的领导地位。在短期内，该项目将产生新的分析模型和算法，从而增强电网的运行以及其可靠、低延迟的无线通信基础设施。******这个为期5年的项目将发展博弈论和随机多层次优化策略，以达到最优交易决策，增强小蜂窝网络，以满足能源交易快速可靠的通信需求。多领导者多追随者游戏将为没有等级组织的玩家设计。据申请人所知，将首次开发一个三层优化模型，以允许玩家进行战略竞标。该项目将专注于由超密集小蜂窝组成的未来无线蜂窝网络，为路上玩家（ev）和即插即用发电机提供灵活性和普遍性。实现高密度网络上的能源交易，需要在兼顾传统移动用户流量和P2P能源交易平台产生的流量的同时，实现容量优化、覆盖优化、干扰优化、能量优化、网络负载均衡、随机信道接入组织和移动性处理的有效动态网络规划技术。******这项NSERC发现研究计划将提高加拿大在能源和通信领域的竞争力。它将使未充分利用的分布式可再生能源发电能力得到有效利用。提出的解决方案将增强对灾害的抵御能力。它将培训人员成为电力和通信工程领域跨学科领域的专家，并为加拿大在这些领域的领导地位作出贡献。该项目提供的培训将帮助学生建立学术上的成功，独特和市场的技能组合，并提供发展自己职业生涯的能力。

In Canada only, 50% of the potentially available - non-hydro - renewable energy capacity is underutilized. It is highly challenging to integrate small-scale, distributed renewable energy generators to the utility power grid due to their intermittency. This NSERC Discovery Research Program aims to develop a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading platform along with the state-of-the-art reliable and low-latency communications network that will enable unprecedented opportunities for sharing energy among distributed consumers, generators and storage. ******Over the long-term, energy trading can unravel the use of renewable energy more efficiently and strengthen the resilience of the highly networked power grid in the face of disasters and attacks. The transformative research conducted under this program will contribute to the leadership of Canadian researchers in power and communication fields. In the short term, this program will lead to new analytical models and algorithms that will enhance the operation of the power grid along with its reliable, low-latency wireless communication infrastructure. ******This 5-year program will develop game-theoretic and stochastic multi-level optimization strategies to reach optimal trading decisions and enhance small cell networks in order to serve fast and reliable communication needs of energy trading. Multi-leader multi-follower games will be designed for players who do not have hierarchical organization. To the best of the applicant's knowledge, a tri-level optimization model will be developed to allow strategic bidding of players, for the first time. This project will focus on future wireless cellular networks consisting of ultra-dense small cells, to provide the flexibility and ubiquity for the on-the-road players (EVs) as well as plug-and-play generators. Facilitating energy trading over a network with high level of densification, call for effective dynamic network planning techniques that can optimize capacity, coverage, interference, energy, and balance the network load, organize the access to random channel and handle mobility while taking into account both the traditional mobile user traffic and the traffic generated by the P2P energy trading platform. ******This NSERC Discovery Research program will increase Canada's competitiveness in energy and communications sectors. It will allow underutilized, distributed renewable energy generation capacity to be effectively utilized. The proposed solutions will increase resilience to disasters. It will train personnel to be experts in cross-disciplinary areas in power and communication engineering fields and to contribute to the leadership of Canada in those fields. The training provided with this program will help students to build academic success, unique and marketable skill sets and provide abilities to grow their own professional careers.
