Abstract: Community Energy Internet (CEI) integrates electric network and thermal network based on combined heat and power (CHP) to improve the economy of energy system in Smart Community. In the CEI, an energy sharing framework for prosumers equipped with photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) system and heat pump (HP) is introduced. Supporting by the PVT and HP, the prosumer has four role attributes with either heat or electricity producer/consumer. A social welfare maximization model is built for the CEI, including PVT-HP prosumers, CHP system, and utility grid. Considering there are multiply participants in the local market of CEI, the social welfare maximization problem is decoupled by using Lagrange multiplier method. Moreover, a consensus-based fully distributed algorithm is designed to solve the problem. Finally, six residential buildings are selected as the case study to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
