Market design for peer-to-peer energy trading in a distribution network with high penetration of distributed energy resources

This thesis examines different market structures for peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. Different market clearing mechanisms are designed for market settlement, including auction-based method, distributed optimisation, and decentralised market clearing. Also, price signals are introduced to model network constraints in any individual transaction in the electricity market. Moreover, a segmentation method is proposed to enhance the scalability of the P2P markets, using the clustering method.
