Title : The business logic of service-oriented transformation of urban energy systems
Abstract:
The service-oriented transformation of energy systems of urban communities is considered in the context of innovative development of decentralization technologies, energy security and renewable energy in the context of global climate challenges and technological digitalization. The main work task is to develop a service-oriented transformation paradigm that considers the multilateral interaction of market participants and digital transformation. This paradigm would ensure flexibility and adaptability to changing market conditions, promote the integration of renewable energy sources, and encourage consumers to actively participate in energy processes. This paper formalizes the concept of service-dominant logic for energy systems of urban communities. This concept involves integrating physical energy flows, digital services, and the interaction of market participants into a single model for creating cooperative value. This allows us to consider the energy system as not only an infrastructure for energy supply but also a complex socio-technical system that generates added value through the integration of services, such as balancing, demand management, analytics, peer-to-peer exchange, and digital pricing. We consider applying the principles of comparative advantages to optimize the allocation of energy system resources, which would allow for more efficient use of local resources, reduce costs, increase system stability, and ensure better integration of renewable and decentralized energy sources into the energy balances of urban communities. We consider a comprehensive, multi-level modeling approach for this type of energy system that takes into account nonlinear interactions between different types of agents (producers, consumers, prosumers, and aggregators) in a service-oriented environment. Agent-oriented simulations will enable us to reproduce emergent effects in complex energy systems.
