Abstract

The European Union (EU) strongly urged its member states to take action to establish energy communities. Domestic consumers now have the opportunity to organize themselves to play an active and decisive role in the electricity supply chain and make a solid contribution to an ecological footprint. This work proposes residential energy management, considering renewable resources production (photovoltaic panels) and energy storage systems for individual self-consumption approach and boosting future participation in energy community interactions. A multi-objective optimization model using Biased Random Key Genetic Algorithm (BRKGA) was adapted and implemented to minimize electricity consumption costs and maximize self-consumption usage. An energy storage system with 10 kW was considered to optimize electricity management. Two scenarios were proposed, one considering a residential prosumer with a photovoltaic (PV) power installed value of 3.56kWp and the other with 4.20kWp. The results showed a reduction in electricity consumption between 7 % and 8 % and an increase in self-consumption supported by a battery energy storage system of nearly 50 %. Data from an actual system were used to obtain realistic scenarios.
