Abstract

Power systems are increasingly built from distributed generation units and smart consumers that are able to react to grid conditions. Managing this large number of decentralized electricity sources and flexible loads represent a very huge optimization problem. Both from the regulatory and the computational perspective, no one central coordinator can optimize this overall system. Decentralized control mechanisms can, however, distribute the optimization task through price signals or market-based mechanisms. This chapter presents the concepts that enable a decentralized control of demand and supply while enhancing overall efficiency of the electricity system. It highlights both technological and business challenges that result from the realization of these concepts, and presents the state-of-the-art in the respective domains.

In Europe, electricity sector liberalization was introduced through the Directive 96/02/EG of the European Union [1].
 
2
To give an example, in Germany day-ahead and intra-day trading volumes at the European Energy Exchange currently only account for roughly one quarter of the total national power consumption [10, 11].
