Modélisation de l’intégration des acteurs dans le développement du management local de l’énergie

The decarbonization of the electricity mix is based on the development of intermittent renewable energies and the decentralization of the power generation means. New players for the electricity generation and local management of electricity have thus emerged (aggregators, electric mobility operators, energy storage operators and digital solution providers in particular). In this context, the aim of the research is to analyze the interactions between operators of decentralized electricity management and utilities ("conventional" companies) in the electricity sector. First, a typology of the different local actors at European level will be created to identify their development strategies: type of activity and services offered, pricing system used. Particular attention will be paid to the solutions proposed for capping production and consumption peaks. The second part of the thesis will be devoted to the analysis of the potential trajectories of different operators of the electricity system (local actors and utilities) in terms of level of activity, margins and investment according to the strategies implemented. The aim is to assess the levels of renewable electricity production managed at the local level, the use of utilities at power stations, and the storage or demand response needs resulting from the economic systems put in place by decentralized actors. This part will be based on an electrical system optimization model in which the different objectives of the operators of the electrical system will be integrated. The research is supported by EDF Lab.
