Virtual Power Producers Integration Into Mascem

چکیده
All over the world Distributed Generation is seen as a valuable help to get cleaner and more efficient electricity. Under this context distributed generators, owned by different decentralized players can provide a significant amount of the electricity generation. To get negotiation power and advantages of scale economy, these players can be aggregated giving place to a new concept: the Virtual Power Producer. Virtual Power Producers are multitechnology and multi-site heterogeneous entities. Virtual Power Producers should adopt organization and management methodologies so that they can make Distributed Generation a really profitable activity, able to participate in the market. In this paper we address the integration of Virtual Power Producers into an electricity market simulator – MASCEM – as a coalition of distributed producers.

A new approach for multi-agent coalition formation and management in the scope of electricity markets
This paper presents a new methodology for the creation and management of coalitions in Electricity Markets. This approach is tested using the multi-agent market simulator MASCEM, taking advantage of its ability to provide the means to model and simulate VPP (Virtual Power Producers). VPPs are represented as coalitions of agents, with the capability of negotiating both in the market, and interna...

competitive; a market environment is replacing the traditional centralized-operation approach. This transformation is often called the deregulation of the electricity market. Many electricity companies have split into several companies that specialize in energy generation, transmission, or distribution. These companies need to adopt new management approaches to survive in this market. The indus...
متن کاملTesting the Scenario Analysis Algorithm of an Agent- Based Simulator for Competitive Electricity Markets
The main goal of MASCEM – Multi-Agent Simulator of Competitive Electricity Markets, is to give electricity market entities a tool to support their decisions and to obtain knowledge about market behaviour and evolution. Intelligent agents with strategic behaviour represent entities from electricity markets. In this paper we propose some illustrative scenarios to explain and take some conclusions...
