Renewable energy sources (RES) are more sustainable, reliable, and cost effective than non-renewable energy sources (NRES). Despite its high installation costs, solar PV has gained broad interest, particularly in rural areas where power supply is low or consumers struggle to pay for the electricity they use.
Fair Pricing Model for Smart Grids
Firstly, we consider the pricing issue considering the principle of how smart meters operate. Secondly, we propose a fair pricing model for the Smart Grid, as well as a method for determining an equilibrium price of buying and selling electricity. Finally, we evaluate the proposed model and provide the results, that prove its effectiveness.
