Bidding on a Peer-to-Peer Energy Market: An Exploratory Field Study
这项实地研究首次在真实点对点能源市场中考察家庭如何参与可再生能源竞价，发现市场效率高且家庭参与活跃，对平衡分布式可再生能源供需有积极意义。
Faced with the challenge of increasing the share of renewable energy generation, many countries have put local peer-to-peer (P2P) energy markets on their political agenda for driving the adoption of renewable energy. This is the first study to examine this concept empirically in a real-world P2P market, in which renewable energy was auctioned among households in a local area. Over the duration of an entire year, this field study investigated whether households engaged in the bidding and trading of energy, and which prices emerged on the P2P energy market. The results show that the market outcomes were efficient and that households engaged surprisingly actively in bidding, despite energy being a low-involvement good. The findings indicate that P2P energy markets can have a positive impact on balancing demand and supply, thereby addressing the fundamental challenge of distributed renewable energy systems.
