Presentation in PriTEM workshop, March 22-23, 2023, by Sara Mohammadi from IFI, UiO
Abstract: Although rooftop PV panels and battery energy storage systems have been well established for detached residential buildings, there is still a lack of access to the advantages of onsite renewable energy generation and consumption for residents of multi-unit buildings. To understand the effects of developing distributed renewable energy sources for multi-unit buildings, a new fair energy sharing model in which different groups of residents can gain benefit from the shared energy systems is proposed. Despite the potential benefits of developing renewable technologies on multi-unit buildings, the energy trading and allocation processes in the buildings can be unfair for some groups of residents. Accordingly, our work studies main principles of energy justice and analyses how these principles can be applied in the energy trading and allocation processes to achieve fair energy sharing.
