Electricity Market (Virtual) Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a multi-agent based simulation (MABS) framework to construct an artificial electric power market populated with learning agents. The artificial market, named TEMMAS (The Electricity Market Multi-Agent Simulator), explores the integration of two design constructs: i) the specification of the environmental physical market properties, and ii) the specification of the decision-making (deliberative) and reactive agents. TEMMAS is materialized in an experimental setup involving distinct power generator companies which operate in the market and search for the trading strategies that best exploit their generating units’ resources. The experimental results show a coherent market behavior that emerges from the overall simulated environment.

Energy management of virtual power plant to participate in the electricity market using robust optimization
Virtual power plant (VPP) can be studied to investigate how energy is purchased or sold in the presence of electricity market price uncertainty. The VPP uses different intermittent distributed sources such as wind turbine, flexible loads, and locational marginal prices (LMPs) in order to obtain profit. VPP should propose bidding/offering curves to buy/sell from/to day-ahead market. In this pape...
متن کاملMABS for a Deregulated Electricity Market
In this extended abstract we motivate and briefly describe a MABS (multi-agent based simulation) approach to the electricity market, aimed at simulating the interactions of agents and to study the macro-scale effects of those interactions. We describe our preliminary implementation of an artificial market, named TEMMAS (The Electricity Market Multi-Agent Simulator), populated with (virtual) age...
متن کاملA Bilevel Scheduling Approach for Modeling Energy Transaction of Virtual Power Plants in Distribution Networks
By increasing the use of distributed generation (DG) in the distribution network operation, an entity called virtual power plant (VPP) has been introduced to control, dispatch and aggregate the generation of DGs, enabling them to participate either in the electricity market or the distribution network operation. The participation of VPPs in the electricity market has made challenges to fairly a...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملModeling and Detecting Bidding Anomalies in Day-ahead Electricity Markets
Virtual bids were introduced in U.S. wholesale electricity markets to exploit arbitrage opportunities arising from expected price differences between day-ahead and real-time energy markets. These financial instruments have interactions with other elements of the electricity market design. For instance, virtual bids could affect day-ahead market-clearing prices so as to enhance the value of Fina...
