The peer-to-peer (P2P) energy transaction scheme is
a new structure being recently used in the local energy markets to
develop flexibility of energy hubs when energy cost is high. This
study proposes a Norwegian industrial area with integrated multienergy
hubs (MEHs) that are integrated with distributed energy
resources (DERs), including, photovoltaic system (PV), wind
turbine (WT), convex and non-convex CHP units, onsite
flexibility, and plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). Despite electrical
energy trading, heat energy is also considered for P2P transactions
in the presence of CHP units. In this paper, objective function is
analyzing the effectiveness of the P2P strategy for energy cost
reduction concerning the substantial peak power charge.
According to the obtained results, the P2P framework increases
the flexibility of the integrated hubs in the case of energy
management by nearly 30%. Because industrial buildings have
shared a significant level of their thermal and power generation
(from 1500 to 2500 kW) to meet the energy demands.
