Title
 
Control Frameworks for Energy Trading and Sharing in Smart Grids

 

Abstract
 
The evolution of modern power systems toward decentralization, flexibility, and sustainability is driving the emergence of new paradigms for smart energy management. Among these, energy trading and sharing play a central role in enabling active participation of distributed users and optimizing the use of renewable generation and storage resources across all levels of the smart grid, from local communities to districts and microgrids. This talk presents advanced control frameworks to support energy trading and sharing in power systems composed of heterogeneous actors such as prosumers, electric vehicles, and storage providers. The proposed approaches integrate game-theoretic models and distributed control techniques to enable intelligent strategies that balance local objectives with system-wide efficiency. Special attention is given to the scalability, technical feasibility, and economic efficiency of the proposed mechanisms, which are validated through simulations based on realistic community-scale scenarios.
