# Distributed Energy Sharing for PVT-HP Prosumers in Community Energy Internet: A Consensus Approach
## 5 Problem Formulation and Algorithm
### Design of Algorithm
Furthermore, if the capacity of PVT and heat pumps are properly configured and the capacity of heat pump can meet the demand of thermal load, which means the heat pump can make full use of the waste heat of PVT, the prosumers can make full use of solar energy to guarantee the thermal power balance and reduces the installed capacity of CHP. It is an interesting result that a thermal producer can be an electric consumer and a thermal consumer can also act as an electric producer in the market of the CEI. In practical work, the sun's illumination has a greater impact on the system. The energy storage devices are to be an useful tool to solve the problem. Therefor, we will take the storage system into account in our future work. The paper was a collaborative effort between the authors.
