The proliferation of distributed power sources such as renewable energy sources drives the changes of consumers to prosumers who actively want to deal with energy. The prosumer is a new type of consumer that can sell surplus energy or additionally generated energy to electric power companies, other energy service providers, or other consumers. To implement such a concept, a new technology and platform that can support the transaction of the prosumers are required. However, the study in the area is limited since it is in the early stage. This work examines the state-of-the-art transaction-based energy management technology through comparative analysis of representative technologies to show the future trends. Although, technologies and standards for transaction based energy are not much matured yet. related new research will be continued via competitions.

This paper aims to applying the architectural business model canvas to urban single houses business based on the prosumer concept of knowledge-based economy. For that purpose, current status of housing market are reviewed to compare the characteristics of urban single houses with general apatments, Second, from the viewpoints of prosumers which means the client as both producer and consumer, single house business problems were investigated. Third, for the purpose of improving current business problems, new architectural business model with the help of business model canvas is developed to give the improvement measures.

전기 수요자의 다양성에 따라 새로운 전기 법규가 제정되고 있으며, 이에 대응하여 프로슈머(Prosumer)에 의한 이웃 간의 전력거래 움직임이 활발히 논의 되고 있다. 본 논문은 프로슈머가 아니더라도 이웃 간의 전력거래가 허가된다면, 전력거래를 통한 누진 요금을 저하 할 수 있는 가정용 Facts 전력 변환기 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 이웃 간의 가정용 Facts의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 PSIM에 의한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 전기요금의 저감을 분석 하였다.

This study analyzes the values of vintage in Korean fashion prosumer's activities and elevates the values as one characteristic of Korean modern fashion. The methodology included literary and empirical studies as well as prosumer and modern Korean vintage fashion literary studies. In-depth interviews were done to analyze the values of vintage in fashion prosumer's activities. The values of vintage fashion for Millennials are creative activities based on public interest, expanded reproducing through sharing daily looks and self-expression through the scarcity of vintage clothing. Prosumer characteristics are self-satisfaction and sharing. Fashion prosumer's vintage trends are new-tro, communication, cultural complex, and sharing of daily life. The formativeness in fashion prosumer's activities are heritage, text, activity and image. The meanings are creation, communication, experience and sharing. Fashion prosumers are developing the new genre of 'vintage fashion activity'; in addition, values towards vintage fashion activity are also drawing international interest.

We estimated the price range of electricity transactions under the prosumer system, considering the spread of renewable energy and the prospect of introducing a surplus power trading system between power consumers in Korea. The range (min/max) of power transaction prices was estimated by prosumers and consumers who could purchase electricity from utilities if needed. It is assumed that utilities purchased electricity from prosumers and consumers under a Time-of-Use (TOU) rate, trading at a monthly price. The range of available transaction prices according to the amount of power purchased from utilities and the amount of transaction power was also estimated. The price range that can be traded is expected to vary depending on variables such as the TOU rate, purchased and surplus power, levelized cost of electricity, etc.

This paper is a review of the certification system required for various energy prosumer business models, including P2P energy trading and participation in small demand response programs, which are based on reliable production and consumption certification. One of the most important parameter in energy trading is ensuring the reliability of trading account balancing. Therefore, we studied to use big data pattern analysis based blockchain smart contract between trading partners to make its tradings are more reliable. For this purpose big data analysis system collected from the IoT AMI and a production authentication system using a private blockchain network linked with the AMI is discussed, using the blockchain smart contract are also suggested. Futhermore, energy trading system concept and business models are introduced.

This study identifies factors of Hanbok-trippers - a term for people who dress in Hanbok(Korean traditional costume) while going on a trip - who converge on Gyeongbokgung Palace by determining the characteristics of class, places to visit and preferred places. This study interprets the voluntary hobby activities of Hanbok-trippers from a viewpoint of a landscape prosumer and the meaning of the urban landscape. As a result of in-depth interviews, on-site survey, and observation surveys focused on Hanbok-trippers, there were various levels of participants. They are classified into three groups - leading group, entry group, temporary-experience group - according to their cognitions, types of Hanbok use, activities, etc. The leading group and entry group are a voluntary hobbyist class due to the ongoing tendencies of their participation. There are differences in the purpose and factors of visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace as a place for a Hanbok-trip. The leading group visited Gyeongbokgung Palace for cultural activities, regular get-together, public relations, and as a gathering place to go neighboring destinations. In this case, the main factors of the visit are the traditional landscape, convenient transportation, chances for traditional culture exhibitions and events in Gyeongbokgung Palace and its neighborhood. The entry group visits Gyeongbokgung Palace because of its traditional landscape and cultural activities nearby. The traditional landscape and many Hanbok-trippers are main factors of visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace for the Temporary-experience group. This study found that Gyeongbokgung Palace has a new sense of place of 'Introductory course of Hanbok-trip', 'Hanbok Playground' because temporary-experience group visits there to experience a Hanbok-trip for the first time. Hanbok-trippers consume places and landscape in actual places offline, producing a new landscape at the same time, and has the characteristics of a 'landscape prosumer' by producing landscape images online through their own personal or social media. Their colorful and voluntary movements contribute to the dynamism of the urban landscape and can become a new cultural asset for the city. The voluntary hobbyist class can be considered a new type of participants in bottom-up planning such as urban regeneration and place marketing. This study has significance in that it conceptualized the 'landscape prosumer' through the voluntary hobbyist class of Hanbok-trippers with the concept of the 'prosumer' that has been studied only in the consumer studies and marketing fields, and has identified the significance of the urban landscape.

In the island areas where system connection with the commercial power grid is difficult, it is quite important to find a method to efficiently manage energy produced with independent microgrids. In this paper, a prosumer management system for P2P power transaction was realized through the testing the power meter and the response rate of the collected data for the power produced in the small-scale microgrids in which hybrid models of solar power and wind power were implemented. The power network of the microgrid prosumer was composed of mesh structure and the P2P power transaction was tested through the power meter and DC power transmitter in the off-grid sites which were independently constructed in three places. The measurement values of the power meter showed significant results of voltage (average): 380V + 0.9V, current (average): + 0.01A, power: 1000W (-1W) with an error range within ±1%. Stabilization of the server was also confirmed with the response rate of 0.32 sec. for the main screen, 2.61 sec. for the cumulative power generation, and 0.11 sec for the power transaction through the transmission of 50 data in real time. Therefore, the proposed system was validated as a P2P power transaction system that can be used as an independent network without transmitted by Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).
