INTRODUCTION MOTIVATION OBJECTIVE PROBLEM REFERENCES

REQUIREMENT CONCLUSION
PROCESS
• Peer to peer energy trading is a novel concept about
how to provide electricity from the prosumers to the
consumers directly in a neighborhood.
• The prosumers are people who have an ability to
produce electricity from their PVs and having energy
exceeds from the generation.
• The consumers are those who are purely consume the
electricity from the grid or the prosumers.

Introduction
• From the world bank data of electric power
consumption (kwh per capita), in 2014 the number of
world electricity consumption is 3.1 million kwh per
capita.

Motivation
Motivation
• Solar Home System annual
growth is equal to 23% since
2012.
• McKinsey predicts the market
potential of the SHS by 2020 is
150 million households.
Objectives
• Provide functional and non-functional requirements of P2P energy
trading system based on Goal Model Requirements technique.
• Improve current P2P energy trading condition by considering
challenges in direct electricity trading.
Problem Statements
• In peer to peer energy trading, the participation of the consumers
and the prosumers is important to increase the effectiveness of the
method.
• However, the consumers often find that electricity price comes from
the prosumers are not beneficial enough for them rather than
electricity price from the utility grid.
• On the other hand, the prosumers also think that FiT scheme is more
beneficial than selling the electricity in the P2P scheme.
• In the purpose of making effective P2P Energy Trading System,
eliciting some of the requirements is needed.

Requirement Process
1) Context and Groundwork
• In this phase, domain of the software system is defined. It takes a
long time to analysis domain. Scope of the system is important and
helpful for next three phases. In addition, proper RE methods and
models are chosen. It includes elicitation, understanding, and
structuring, modeling and analysis as activities.
2) Requirements Elaboration
• In this phase, primary requirements are elicited. Also, the
requirements in previous phase are redefined due to stakeholders. It
includes elicitation, understanding and structuring, modeling and
analysis, communications and negotiations, verification and validation
as activities.
- Modeling Process
• The main goal of this project is
“ Effective Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading System for Low Voltage Electrical
Networks”
• The supporting goals are
• Improve trading processes between prosumers and consumers
• Efficient electricity distribution processes

Requirements
 Scenario #1
Name 24hrs-ahead market
Actors Prosumers and Consumers
Description It allows energy trading information sharing among the energy prosumers and consumers in the
time range of 24 hours.
Pre-condition The prosumers register their generations to the system. The system will perform economic
dispatch on behalf of 24 hours to maintain best price of all time.
Post-condition The consumers bid their demands for the next 24 hours.
Actions (Main Scenario) 1. The prosumers and consumers will press Login/Register button to join the P2P Energy Trading
market.
2. The prosumers offer the electricity generation capacity for the next 24 hours.
3. Enter detail info (demand profile and bid price for the next 24 hours for the consumers; and
for the prosumers give detail information about offer price)
4. Press on “Register”
5. The system will perform optimization for scheduling and forecasting the load and the price.
6. The results will be displayed when the auction process is done.
7. The prosumers and consumers signed the contract as they agree with the price and
committed to the trading process results (the accepted demand and committed generation
capacity) for the next 24 hours.
8. Confirmation message appeared.

 Scenario #2
Name Real time market
Actors Prosumers and Consumers
Description It allows energy trading information sharing among the energy prosumers and consumers in the
real time (time interval: 30 minutes)
Pre-condition The prosumers register their generations to the system. The system will perform economic
dispatch for the next 30 minutes.
Post-condition The consumers bid their demands price for the next 30 minutes.
Actions (Main Scenario) 1. Trading begins in minute 0.
2. Orders submitted to the order books.
3. System perform matching bidding orders based on matching algorithm.
4. Renew bidding orders.
5. In minute 15, trading closes and unmatched bid orders reset to zero, meanwhile the matched
bid orders during trading period begin to be implemented.
6. In minute 30, the unmatched surplus electricity will be sold back to the trading center and the
unmatched bid orders buy electricity from the trading center.
7. Implementation of all matched bid orders finished.

Progress: Modeling Step
• Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading is a combination of these
aspects:
• Power System Discipline
• Energy Policy
• Economics
• Communications
• Social Interactions
• The requirements of P2P energy trading cover all of the
different aspects of disciplines.
• From the requirement process we can conclude that
deep learning method is needed in order to find
connections between aspects.
