Roles of retailers in the peer-to-peer electricity market: A single retailer perspective

Summary: Despite extensive research in the past five years and several successfully completed and on-going pilot projects, regulators are still reluctant to implement peer-to-peer trading at a large scale in today's electricity market. The reason could partly be attributed to the perceived disa...
