Design and Preliminary Evaluations of Multi-Agent Simulation Model for Electric Power Sharing among Households

Abstract

Electric power sharing among households based on bidding method is studied as a future service. In order to verify the feasibility of the service, we newly designed a multi-agent simulation model. We validate this model through preliminary evaluations. For example, it is confirmed that the market price in this service stably changes according to the supply and demand balance between sold bid volume and purchased bid volume. In addition to that, results of household income and contract rate of this service showed that the design for bid strategies works as intended.
