Implement price setting in Energy-HOLON for holon members #172

Open GillisHommen opened 1 year ago

Local energy market that helps balance demand and supply in HOLON (which in the MVP-case also helps prevent congestion).

GillisHommen commented 1 year ago

Such an internal market is actually very similar to a nodal-price on the node that the HOLON is connected to. Currently that nodal-price is determined by the gridOperator based on the (filtered-) node-load, and each connection-owner is 'aware' of this price. So functionally it is in place. However, contractually this is a different thing; congestion tariffs are payed to the gridOperator (external party!) and not within the HOLON. What is the right solution for this case? Do we want 'internal' congestion transactions (within HOLON) or is external (to the grid operator) ok? In the latter case, how do we keep track of congestion-payments going 'out of' the model?

For now, implemented as: When a connectionOwner becomes a 'child' of the Holon, the Holon determines the contract-types (fixed/variable, nodal-pricing, etc.) for the connectionOwner.
