Local network credits and local electricity trading: Results of virtual trials and the policy implications

摘要: Abstract Current charging methods for network infrastructure and recompense distributed energy may not result in optimum system solutions. Once feed-in tariffs to support the development of renewable generation are phased out, payment grid exports is usually based on wholesale value alone. Network charges generally levied full, with few attempts offer a partial charge, or completely waived. Local Electricity Trading (LET) Credits (LNCs) one approach reforming charge structures. This paper examines effects LET LNC different stakeholders four virtual trials medium scale projects around Australia, implications policy. The found large gap between behind meter systems lead duplication assets, inefficient sizing operation generators, lack incentive dispatchable generators operate at peak times. indicated that most circumstances, combination addresses all problems identified some degree.
