In electrical distribution grids, the constantly increasing number of powergeneration devices based on renewables demands a transition from a centralizedto a distributed generation paradigm. In fact, power injection from DistributedEnergy Resources (DERs) can be selectively controlled to achieve otherobjectives beyond supporting loads, such as the minimization of the powerlosses along the distribution lines and the subsequent increase of the gridhosting capacity. However, these technical achievements are only possible ifalongside electrical optimization schemes, a suitable market model is set up topromote cooperation from the end users. In contrast with the existingliterature, where energy trading and electrical optimization of the grid areoften treated separately or the trading strategy is tailored to a specificelectrical optimization objective, in this work we consider their jointoptimization. Specifically, we present a multi-objective optimization problemaccounting for energy trading, where: 1) DERs try to maximize their profit,resulting from selling their surplus energy, 2) the loads try to minimize theirexpense, and 3) the main power supplier aims at maximizing the electrical gridefficiency through a suitable discount policy. This optimization problem isproved to be non convex, and an equivalent convex formulation is derived.Centralized solutions are discussed first, and are subsequently distributed.Numerical results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the so obtained optimalpolicies are then presented.
