Agent-based Coordination Mechanisms in Smart Electricity Markets
نویسنده
چکیده
Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their integration in the smart grid are challenges that sustainable societies have to tackle. Uncontrolled EV charging increases peak power demand, which needs extra grid infrastructure to be covered effectively and consequently this solution is costly. We propose coordination mechanisms using decentralized, centralized and hybrid principles in order to schedule EV charging in a beneficial way for EV owners, smart grid and the environment. We evaluate each mechanism under realistic conditions and show their benefits in different market environments.

Evaluating Government’s Policies on Promoting Smart Metering in Retail Electricity Markets via Agent Based Simulation
In this paper, we develop an agent-based model of a market game in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the UK government’s 2008-2010 policy on promoting smart metering. We also consider possible supplementary strategies. With the model, we test the effectiveness of four possible strategy options and suggest their policy implications. The context of the paper is a practical application of age...
متن کاملAn electricity market with fast bidding, planning and balancing in smart grids
In future energy systems, peaks in the daily electricity generation and consumption are expected to increase. The “smart grid” concept aims to maintain high levels of efficiency in the energy system by establishing distributed intelligence. Software agents (operating on devices with unknown computational capabilities) can implement dynamic and autonomous decision making about energy usage and g...

The adoption of smart grid systems has been accelerating around the world, with many pilot projects initiated throughout the developed world. However, there has been a lack of studies quantifying appliance level economic benefits that are available to the end consumers. Through coupling historical market information with an agent based residential load model, this study has quantified the econo...
متن کاملEvaluating Government’s Policies on Promoting Smart Metering Diffusion in Retail Electricity Markets via Agent-Based Simulation
In this paper, we develop an agent-based model of a market game in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the U.K. government’s 2008–2010 policy on promoting smart metering in the U.K. retail electricity market. We break down the policy into four possible policy options. With the model, we study the impact of the four policy options on the dynamics of smart metering diffusion and suggest policy...
متن کاملEvaluating Individual Market Power in Electricity Markets via Agent-Based Simulation
We use agent-based simulation in a coordination game to analyse the possibility of market power abuse in a competitive electricity market. The context of this was a real application to the England and Wales electricity market as part of a Competition Commission Inquiry into whether two particular generators could profitably influence wholesale prices. The research contributions of this paper ar...
