RT Conference Proceedings T1 Optimal management of cooperative energy communities: impact of agent cooperation. A1 Castro-Mérida, María Ascensión A1 De-la-Torre-Fazio, Sebastián Bienvenido K1 Recursos energéticos - Cooperación K1 Recursos energéticos - Modelos matemáticos K1 Recursos energéticos renovables AB In this work we analyse the profitability of the agents participating in a Local Energy Community (LEC); the agents in these communities can be either passive or active. The main difference is that active agents own generating units that they needto dispatch, whereas passive agents do not own any generating units. The LEC is operated and managed by a coordinating agentthat is in charge of all energy exchanges between the agents in the LEC and the external Public Electricity Network (PEN).We propose a general optimization-based mathematical model to study the interactions among all the participants and to foreseestrategies and optimal behaviour within the rules of the LEC. With this model we can compute optimal costs, profits, energypurchases and energy sales, assessing the best configuration for the LEC as a whole and for each individual participant.
