This paper presents an automated peer-to-peer (P2P) negotiation strategy for settling energy contracts among prosumers in a Residential Energy Cooperative (REC) considering heterogeneous prosumer preferences. The heterogeneity arises from prosumers' evaluation of energy contracts through multiple societal and environmental criteria and the prosumers' private preferences over those criteria. The prosumers engage in bilateral negotiations with peers to mutually agree on periodical energy…

Contract Settlements for Exchanging Utilities through Automated Negotiations between Prosumers in Eco-Industrial Parks using Reinforcement Learning

Automated Negotiation of Smart Contracts for Utility Exchanges between Prosumers in Eco-Industrial Parks

. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Markets of prosumers trading utility surpluses (e.g., heating, cooling, or electric power) is a plausible realization of industrial symbiosis for companies in Eco-Industrial…

Automated Negotiation for Peer-to-Peer Electricity Trading in Local Energy Markets

Reliable access to electricity is still a challenge in many developing countries. Indeed, rural areas in sub-Saharan Africa and developing countries such as India still encounter frequent power…

Automated Negotiation for Peer-to-Peer Trading of Renewable Energy in Off-Grid Communities

Electricity-access is a growing concern in developing countries of Sub-Saharan Africa where approximately 563million people (8% of the global population) lack electricity. Many use fossil-fuel…

Review of Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading for Indian Scenario: Challenges and Opportunities

This paper brings some of the opportunities and challenges both to the peers and locality in introducing P2P trading in India and reviews on how different problems are addressed in the four layers of P1P energy trading system architecture.

Moderate Responder Committees Maximize Fairness in (NxM)-Person Ultimatum Games

It is found that, in the absence of any mechanism, the co-evolving populations of Proposers and Responders converge to a state in which proposals and acceptance thresholds are low, as predicted by the rational choice theory.

Fairness in Multiplayer Ultimatum Games Through Moderate Responder Selection

We study the evolution of fairness in a multiplayer version of the classical Ultimatum Game in which a group of N Proposers offers a division of resources to M Responders. In general, the proposal is…

Towards Blockchain-Based Internet of Things Systems for Energy Smart Contracts With Constrained Hardware Devices and Cloud Infrastructure

A Constrained Hardware Device enhanced with several software elements related to blockchain and cloud infrastructures is put forward, which make possible for any electricity generator or storage system to perform major actions like executing smart contracts, requesting energy prices to a Transmission System Operator and replicating the interchanged data in a cloud computing environment in case there are blockchain node failures.

The Value of Information in Automated Negotiation: A Decision Model for Eliciting User Preferences

A decision model is proposed that finds the point of diminishing returns for improving the model of user preferences with costly queries and provides an extensible basis for interactive negotiation agents to evaluate which questions are worth posing given the marginal utility expected to arise from more accurate beliefs.

Energy-Sharing Model With Price-Based Demand Response for Microgrids of Peer-to-Peer Prosumers

For microgrids of peer-to-peer PV prosumers, an energy-sharing model with price-based demand response is proposed and the effectiveness of the method is verified in terms of saving PV pros consumers’ costs and improving the sharing of the PV energy.

A scalable, decentralised multi-issue negotiation protocol for energy exchange

A novel negotiation protocol to facilitate energy exchange between off-grid homes that are equipped with renewable energy generation and electricity storage is presented and it is shown that it is concurrent, scalable and under certain conditions; leads to Pareto-optimal outcomes.

An effective demand aggregation based strategy for creating a number of balancing groups that leads to higher predictability of group-wise demand and a robust energy storage scheduling method that minimizes the imbalance for a particular balancing group considering the demand prediction uncertainty.

What to Bid and When to Stop

TheBOA framework leads to significant improvements in agent design by wining ANAC 2013, which had 19 participating teams from 8 international institutions, with an agent that is designed using the BOA framework and is informed by a preliminary analysis of the different components.

Optimal operation and fair profit allocation in community microgrids

This work fits in the context of community migrogrids, where entities of a community can exchange energy and services among them without going through the usual channels of the public grid. We…

Preference Elicitation with Interdependency and User Bother Cost

A cost model is proposed that captures the cognitive or bother cost associated with asking a question and is incorporated into the iPLEASE system, an interactive preference elicitation approach that outperforms other non-trivial benchmarks in eliciting user preferences.

Fair division and collective welfare

This book discusses three cardinal interpretations of collective welfare: Bentham's "utilitarian" proposal to maximize the sum of individual utilities, the Nash product, and the egalitarian leximin ordering.

Computers That Negotiate on Our Behalf: Major Challenges for Self-sufficient, Self-directed, and Interdependent Negotiating Agents

This paper sizes up current negotiating agents and explores a number of technological, societal and ethical challenges that autonomous negotiation systems are bringing about, and relates the automated negotiation research agenda to dimensions of autonomy and distill three major themes that will propel autonomous negotiation forward.
